      ....so I decided to get back to manually building paper scale models:

      Lots of fun, except for the sticky glued fingers you get afterwards.😉

      I hope you like.

      Cheers,

              Ouch 😄

              This one any better? It's tonemapped a bit different.
              (couldn't change the trees and frame anymore though):

                Have you a system for replicate trees?
                That is very tiring 😄

                    If it's any consolation, you had me fooled for a second. 😄

                        Thanks Stinkie and scottpara 😄,

                        By the way, the background is no post editing.
                        It's a 'equirectangular' panoramic image (so called 'lat-long image') used as environment light/background in Fry.

                        I replaced it with another lat-long for next rendering of the same view:

                          This is a link to a really good blog I look at by some phd students in London. Amongst other things they do some cool stuff with "augmented reality" You have to see it to understand it, but the effect is a virtual "real" model.

                          http://digitalurban.blogspot.com/search/label/Augmented%20Reality

                          All the videos are good but watch the first one and then scroll down to the one titled "3d camera matching - You tube". If you want to have a go, the software is free from this site.

                          http://iit-iti.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/license/info_e/8

                          There is a tutorial here

                            If your interested, it was the brick texture on the back wall that gave it away for me, bricks are too big compared to the rest of the scene 👍

                              Same here. Looks AWESOME though. Makes me miss building models - one of my favorite things when I was in college.

                                Just for fun and to illustrate the power of Lat/Long backgrounds, I made this NPR rendering of a car interior:

                                http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r3/kwistenbiebel1/carscene-small.jpg

                                http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r3/kwistenbiebel1/car-screenshot-SUsmall.jpg

                                Low res version of the 'equirectangular' background used:

                                    Dear all,
                                    this is a very interesting topic. With reference to the possibility of using Augmented Reality for rendering, the Development Lab of my company, Inglobe Technologies (an italian company specialized in the development of immersive platforms of Virtual and Augmented Reality) released a Plug-in for Google Sketch-Up based on our Augmented Reality platform, ARmedia. This platform allows users to mix both real and digital content in a completely new way.

                                    With ARplug-in, you are allowed to visualize your 3D models directly in the real physical space which sorrounds you. In a very precise sense, through ARplug-in, Sketch-Up 3D models can be visualized out of the digital workspace directly on users’ desktop, by connecting a simple webcam and by printing a suitable code.

                                    The Plug-in provides users with an advanced visualization functionality which serves two main purposes:

                                    1. study and analize scaled virtual prototypes in real environments;
                                    2. communicate 3D projects immersively and astonishingly.

                                    All you need to make ARplug-in work is a personal computer, a webcam and a printed code attached to the software. A free demo of the software is available on our website http://www.inglobetechnologies.com/en/products/arplugin_su/info.php.

                                    You can find some video resources both on our website and on our YouTube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/inglobe

                                    Best regards

                                    Graziano

                                      Dug this one out of a corner. A little frayed. Built sometime in the 80s.DSM_00015.jpg

                                            Hi all,

                                            sorry if I have not come back here before but I've been following the discussion going on the Augemented Reality Plugin for Google Sketchup Thread on this same Forum.
                                            Anyway, we are considering the opportunity to release a Mac plugin as soon as we can according to our development schedule.
                                            Any suggestion will be welcome.
