      Hello Silver, do you have a tut on how to make the roof tiles? Your cobble tut is amazing. Thanks for sharing them.

        This is brilliant. What I love about this model is the degree of imperfection. Walls are never flat, footpaths are never flat, fence posts are never plumb, fence rails never line up perfectly, roof tiles are never inline, cable installations are always sloppy, and this model captures every bit of that.

        Very good eye!

        Todd

              this model is way more difficult and could be more fun than any model i have textured before.. so i will keep you guys posted when i have something more to put on the table on this thing again. ☀]

                Wow, a treasure trove of greatness 😲
                Cannot wait to see more! Keep up the great work.

                silvershadow, have you posted this over on the google groups?
                I think it would be good to have it on their site.

                            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.

                            thankyou.
                            i think you have the synthetic path for some new tools for the version 7
                            so I wont buy it if those mixes of rubies are not fusionated in smart tools that lead to your results.¡

                                After I rendered the cobbles I remembered TIGs Matrix Proximity script. It allows you to create an array of components with some variation in size, placement and rotation. It adds an extra level of 'difference' if you need it.

                                Bob

                                PS For some reason about half of the cobbles turned over on dropping so I had to make both sides rounded.

                                      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.

                                        I think it's part of the projection.rb ruby script. 😎

                                            Hi Silver,

                                            I followed your directions above and, after some fooling around, was able to duplicate your cobbles paved on a contoured surface. I did notice a couple of things to keep in mind for future projects: 1. The amplitude of the curved surface can't be very big (difference between high and low points) or the cobbles fall off. 2. The distance between the substrate and the cobbles must be minimized or the cobbles bounce when they hit and end up all over the place.

                                            Thanks for the tut,
                                            Tom

                                            Tom
