      Here is another house I worked on. Maybe a day's worth of work with another 3 days of nervous tweaking by the Architect ๐Ÿ˜’
      Anyway, I have not shared anything constructive at all in a while so here are some images.

        Nice model. The small horizontal windows on the second floor seem out of place, since all the other windows have vertical proportions. Just my opinion.

        My avatar is an anachronism.

          Great model Eric, But I am not very fond of
          that choice of green for the ground.

            Thanks all. The modelling is all I really wanted to show off. The design is not mine at all. I could make a list as long as my arm of what I don't like about the house but I won't.

            Ground color... yea it was a quickie and the owner was sitting in my office as I was finishing up and he said "Great, print me two!" I never even considered changing the foreground after that.

            Daniel, those windows are in a walk in closet... I don't get it either.

                beautiful modelling, so clean and precise.

                I would love to render it.

                    Beautiful!!!

                    That's exactly what I'm aiming for and I will do it someday!!!.

                    How much time did it take to design this??? Is the interior complete as well??? Right now it is faster for me to design a house using Chief Architect with Autocad but I want to use Sketchup because it's more user friendly and it can deliver beautiful rendering with 3rd party software.

                    Again, excellent work!!!

                    Cheers

                      Thanks again for the replies.

                      I did not design this, one of our architects did. I just did the exterior, no interior, in SketchUp for the owner to see what he was going to build. Total modelling time was about a day and a half, give or take.

                      Interestingly, when he saw it done, then took the pictures to his site he came back to us and had us mirror the entire building. So what you see there is the mirror image of what I modelled. Of course mirroring in SU was as easy as select, scale, click -1. :egrin:

                          Nice model Eric, though the renders look WAY too bright. Perhaps downtone that a little seeing that would probably give the renders more body and feel.

                                Eric,
                                Very nice model.
                                I am experimenting with a technique in photoshop to make my renderings a bit more like Tina Anne Stiles at http://www.illustrationz.com

                                This house would look pretty awesome with her technique applied.

                                If Tina is reading this...
                                How do you get that hand crafted look on your buildings???
                                If trade secrets are infringed here, I apologize. But you do some awesome work!!!
