That's just a standard projected texture.

Hi Solo,
Like many SketchUp 3D Digital Modelers on this forum, I am amazed by the results you are able to acheive with SketchUp and her PlugIns. Can you list the PlugIns, in addition to Artisan,(Paint on Surface, Curviloft?) that you may have used to compose your Organic Character Modeling of our well known Pink Friend above?
I was hoping you would put together a Video Tutorial (fee or free), and outline some of the Techniques you utilize. I am puzzled as how you merged the Geometric Mesh of shapes to get things seemless, without too many polygons or surfaces. It looks like you are using a consistent center reference point, and making some neat geometry. I watched some of Chips Video on the Tron Bike, and saw his use of SubDivide applied to a Simple Geometry, and found this interesting and insighful. I watched all the YouTube Videos I could find on Artisan and several YouTube Videos on 3D Organic Modeling PlugIns for SketchUp.
In addition, I checked out your WebSite, it is Inspiring and Intimidating.I was wondering if you are Mirroring any of your Geometry (w/ PlugIns), or copying the shapes and then using an inverse scale function. Everything looks seamless. Very Nice work. BTW what is FFD?
Well, I am using Artisan and some other PlugIns for a Concrete Dome Project I am working on, particualrly on a FinTop Ridge on the exterior. It is some weird geometry in certain areas. I am exloring techniques & PlugIns that will accomplish this. Any feedback would be helpful.
Thanks,
Andrew Telker

FFD is Free Form Divide

It uses cpoints to deform the model
For a good tutorial on subdivision modeling (although not for SketchUp) watch this. It is relevant

Pete your work is really jaw dropping
I can't wait until you put up some tutorials, I've been playing with SDS for a week or two and can't get my head around the proxy, you seem to have such an ability to foresee what you want to model
Please, please help to enlighten us minnions
Cheers -
You been busy Pete?

Sorry about that, missed your reply.
Yeah I have been busy, mostly furniture stuff and now also website stuff.
Not sure when I will get a chance to play like this again, as I have another garden pack in the works that I have dragged my feet for two years on, I need to either forget it or complete it.
Why not start a thread and post what you have so far and I will jump in and help when I can?

Wow, what a great whale video! Now I feel a little inadequate....
Thanks!

I know this is a really old thread but I was wondering if Solo or another sketchup guru has any videos on organic modeling of animals or cartoon characters...
Most of the pictures are gone from this thread and I would like to learn how best to start an object...
Specifically, I want to model a whale!
Thanks!
Stuart
Edit: I think I get how to do it. I bought vertex tools (amazing) and using artisan, I just have to push pull and PRACTICE!
Quick whale test, long ways to go...
