        Here is an old model from 2019. The majority of the parts were converted to 3ds form the LDraw library and I made the missing ones. Originally done as a University project I just re-drew it this afternoon.

          Looks like a frame from a MSPhysics explosion in a not so far future (2019) with a nice SketchUp rendering.

              I am making an animation for an event that I work at every month in Gothenburg at the Concert House. I am on route to Amsterdam for work but the flights are so expensive where I live (£350+) I took a four hour bus to Copenhagen and saved myself about £200!.

              I made this, the first frame of the animation this morning. I took some photos from streetview as well as some from Google so its reasonably accurate but didn't need to go into too much detail.

              I used the same process as usual but took some extra shading for the interior shadows.

              Side note, its £9.41 for a beer in the airport, bloody Danes! 😮 😲

                Hi Liam.
                Great image.
                I see that you work in Gothenburg. Thats just an hour north of Halmstad where I live.
                You didn't happen to attend the Arch Viz Days at Lindholmen (Gothenburg) last week? It was a great event.

                  No I saw it but could not make it. Well I 'live' in Gothenburg but no luck with work, still freelancing for old client's in London. Flying to Amsterdam now actually to try and drum up some more clients...

                  I went through Halmstad on the bus this morning on the way to Copenhagen (airport)! You must let me know next time you are in town and we can grab a beer!

                            Prost to be accurate as I am working (in a pub) and a bunch of Germans just sat down at my table!

                              Technically cheating with this one as I used a cay render and it's not a raw illustration. This is the base for a VR experience I am working on for the same Concert House. Don't have blueprints yet so this is what I worked out from photos and Google Street View (they have an interior walk-around.

                                Here is another illustration that will be an interactive 'map' for an app I am making. Again, slightly cheating as I used a clay render as the base before painting over the top in Photoshop. I had hoped to paint the whole thing but the tight time scale I had meant it would have taken too long to shade in all of the floor and wall panels nice enough.

                                Users will 'hopefully' navigate this map and when they select a room then can then view it in VR either in 3D or as a photo taken with A 360 camera.

                                The model I created above was eyeballed from images on Google Maps, however I was able to acquire the blueprints to the building so I went back to make it accurately so it will match up with the photos. I was quite close on some of the larger areas but you can see in others I was way off haha!

                                  Here is a shot from some ongoing freelance. The illustration will form part of the front cover of a magazine.

                                    The image of the server farm just did not work for the magazine cover so I will use it for one of the features inside, instead I used an image of some upright servers. Lot's of Photoshop work, the glass was created using the standard brown gradient in Photoshop, inverted and then set to overlay. It gives a nice 'reflection' effect.

                                    All of the lights in both illustrations are just white objects with outer glow applied in Photoshop.

                                        Space X Mars shuttle braking into Mars parking orbit.

                                        Powered by a Linear Fusion Gasdynamic Mirror Engine it's able to complete a 170 day round trip between Earth and Mars on a standard Brachistochrone trajectory (accelerating to 50% distance then flipping around and decelerating for the remaining 50%).

                                        This specific ship has been contracted by the Chinese government to transport workers for the Mars Elevator construction programme. It will be met in Mars orbit by a fleet of small shuttles to re-supply and perform basic maintenance before the trip back to Earth.

                                            Cheers, this one however was put together really quick, only perhaps 8 individual components just repeated in different fashions/combined etc! I did it last week and forgot but just found it on my PC desktop.

                                            I am trying to move away from rendering and really just using sketchup as an illustration aide.
