      hit there
      All the candy series was an experiment to see how far i can push sketchup untill it folds
      So to be true to the program, i had to use only sketchup for modelling. The first candy was not really intended to be rendered, but eventually got rendered in vray and a little bit of photoshop. The candy 2 model went the same path, all 100% sketchup, no elements were build in another program and then brought back, because then it would have defeated the purpose. Renderd in maxwell, vray, and fryrender.
      2008 i will start my last candy, trying to push sketchup for one last time, building everything in sketchup again. I hope it will be bigger and better and at least ten times more intense than candy 2. But we all have to wait and see 😉

        Silver, I am really amazed with your work. The final product looks fantastic, and I like the atmosphere in the scene.I see that you utilized a lot of rubies:-) I haven't heard for half of them but, I see they are very useful.

        Keep up the inspiring work, I haven't seen work of such quality for a long time here.

        Cheers,

        Andrija

        Cheers, Andrija

              Hi Coen
              hee hee i think we all just have to wait and see whats its gonna be. sorry guys
              The thing about last time, it will definately not be my last model, its just doing these candy models is actually a real hard process, saving each day as a seperate file as you progress and try to document youre every move, where the normal way is just, build the model, and post it. But again, ive learned this is ACTUALLY the proper way to demonstrate youre model, so yea, i would not say it will be part of candy, but probably more similar stuff.

                I cannot seem to locate it but I once remember talk about a 'Greeble' script, my thinking was that this too could be a solution.
                However Silver you certainly used SP in a very creative way.

                It's not well documemented, but protrude can offset, protrude, and taper faces. Leave the second column blank unless you want a random number btween the range.

                This model was produced using these inputs:

                  No word yet.

                  I hope to be able to get back to working on Protrude before the end of March.

                            Hi there, no it took me about 4 days to render my scene in parts during the day.
                            The modelling process took about a month if i could remember correctly.

                              Hi all young and old sketchup users, developers of the new sketchup 7 team,and any other modeler out there that do not really know the true potential power of this amazing tool. Today i want to share the power of sketchup itself, to encourage those who thinks sketchup is just a tool that can only build block models and nothing more.

                              For my part your intention have simply found the center of the target!! Never thought it was possible to do so real with SU. And also a dreaming beautiful scene.

                              I have to come back again and again to study your tuts. Bravo et un grand merci pour votre générosité!!

                              *simon

                                Amazing work. What's the render plugin you used? V-ray?

                                    How did you make the texture on those concrete posts?

                                      hi there,when i worked on that model, no mapping add ons were available, so i just switched on my hidden lines, and start dumping a texture on it, and click and drop the texture to the triangles till it looked ok for the scene
                                      Funny to get all those darn plugins afterwards when the work is finished hee hee
