      Gaieus, that's a really great contribution, thank you very much. Hopefully others will contribute their versions also.

      I've only done two renderings with KT - a simple chair and a beach house. I'd really like to - and I need to - spend the time necessary to learn how to use KT.

      If you really want something you won't ever stop pursuing it.

          I have to say that i just love that truck, it's like a stepson to me:P
          I really love your shapes but hate you don't finish them.As i said you inspire me.I have a suggestion to you Mr. Greentoaster.....if you post more of your models "i will add your technological distinctness to my own"( star trek joke:P), i mean i'll add details to finish it like i did with the truck, i really enjoyed doing it.

            Sure, that would be really great. I really enjoy seeing the finished models also - I'm sure others do too - it's all great.

            I'm not at my computer now but hope to be there later & will then post some models - they're all pretty much unfinished which provides lots of variety for making them "yours".

            Happy modeling,

                Then here you go with a last render of your truck. I seem to have been able to solve my spotlight problem; the "trick" was what is about evident; these reflectors are not just small table lamps. πŸ˜’

                There is a pointlight and a spotlight in the reflectors. The point ligh has 100 set as multiplier while the spotlight has 300.

                            . . . still fiddling around with this one . . . I almost like this one . . . there are a few messy areas I need to fix . . . still makes one wonder - is it going, or coming?

                            And finally, I'm not taking a hiatus from S/U . . . I just have a ga-zillion things that I'm having to deal with right now - everything from oil changes to writing code for tests at work - bizzy as a bee during honey season . . . my wife thinks the number of items on my to do list should be infinity . . . times ten-gazillion . . . I even iron my own shirts, for cryin' out loud . . . 😞 . . . what's next dear? Those are my wife's favorite three words . . . (sigh) . . .

                              . . . another quick car sketch . . . interesting how the proportions can be even a little bit off making the difference between ugly and nice . . . obviously, I'm still struggling with proportions . . .

                                  Thanks - I'm finding I can knock one of these out in maybe 15 or 20 minutes, no problem. When I start adding all the details, moving beyond a simple "body shape", I find myself spending about an hour - edges for doors, windows, hood, trunk, scoops, lights, windshield wipers, mirrors, et cetera. Then, assigning materials & setting up lighting - I currently need at least another 20 to 30 minutes to setup a KT rendering. This puts the total time around 90 minutes - am I doing something wrong? This doesn't even include the "realistic" looking details that the pro's do. How long does it take them to do a "photo realistic" car - anyone have a clue?

                                  In school, working towards my Industrial Design degree, I really enjoyed idea-generation sketching. Today, I'm finally at a point where I can begin using SketchUp for the same purpose, making simple body shapes for cars. Sure, I still have a long way to go, but I'm totally diggin' it, thanks to everyone here. 😍

                                  Happy Sketching,

                                      LOL! They didn't get the color right though, eh?

                                      Visually, that Scion is strange in some areas while very pleasing areas in others. I like it.

                                        I'm NOT speaking from a lot of experience here, but I think there are two separate but related skills.

                                        One is car design. That's a challenge whether you are using a pencil, a computer, modeling clay or sheet metal. Another challenge is getting SketchUp to produce what is in your mind's eye.

                                        If I were trying to learn to be a car designer, I would spend some of my time sketching interesting off the wall ideas and part of my time trying to duplicate high quality designs for real cars which already exist. Working from plastic models using a caliper might be a way to go. I learned a lot by trying to duplicate my wrist-watch in excruciating detail.

                                        I think that combining those skills help you make it possible to express what is in your mind.

                                        My thoughts - any others are valid.
