Second SU serious work

plot-paris

exceptionally good texturing. and I like it how you put some plants arround the "feet" of the panels.

extraordinary images for sole SketchUp output!

It would be interesting to put a person in there somewhere to give it a sense of scale. How big are those panels?

Good images tho

Oh and if your after an easy to use rendering programme, you can't get much simpler than Podium which runs inside SU itself. http://www.suplugins.com

Hi Maverick83

You've done a first class work on yours pictures. Do you really need to render them
they 're pretty perfect.

I know how frustrating it is to get no back posts.

Ma è in Italia???

Ben fatto, secondo me è meglio così che non "renderizzato".

Hi kevsterman
First of all, thanks for the compliments and for the rendering program tip.
I've put a person in the middle of the scene so you can understand what a badass photovoltaic power plant it is.

Each photovoltaic module is 166,3 X 99,8 cm (65,5 X 39 in), so it's huge.

Hi Malaise
Thanks for the compliments and for your psychological support

Hi Julius
Yes, it will be built (at least i strongly hope our client will accept our project) in Italy.
I'm glad you like it.
Ah yes, another thing: if you wanna a photovoltaic power plant please contact me

Bye bye - Ciao

yeah, i want one on my balcony
seriously i think there should be more photovoltaic powerplants here in italy.

I agree with plot-paris, very good choice of textures.
It is a very nice looking model you have created and quite different to what is normally shown here.

Nice work

Hi Dylan
Thanks
You're gonna see a lot of photovoltaic power plants from now on in here
What rendering program would you suggest me to start with? Maybe Podium?

i use kerkythea. but i think to start rendering also podium and indigo are good.

the thing i like about kerkythea is that is really powerful and it's free. podium is good, but i think the highest resolution for the free version is 500x500.

Maverick83

Thanks Julius
Is Kerkythea more complex than Podium?

btw 500x500...

i think so, but i'm not sure since i've used podium only a few times. podium is a plugin for SU, while Kerkythea is a separate application.

Thanks for adding the person, Maverick. That really is going to be a beefy powerplant. I wish we could have plants like that over here in the UK. When I see all the huge expanses of wasted rooftops out there it just saddens me that we don't utilise them and help our environment.

I've only ever used Podium as a renderer so I can't comment on the others like Kerkythea but I've seen its output and they have been impressive. Altho the free version of Podium does have a limit to the resolution size, it isn't an expensive programme to buy and it is incredibly easy to use and learn. In my opinion it is well worth the money.
