Rogue Renders!
-
I use the scale tool. I match up all points as much as possible but sometimes the bits inbetween are off by a bit and it can often make a model look a bit odd. Like with the falcon im building. The front and rear of the top and side view match perfectly but a few details in between dont.

I like this next car soo much, its the Ford Visos Concept:

And here is the Ford Falcon BA:

great work!
I highly recommend using Alex's car rendering studio (or cheat and use his HDR to light the scene) with the PM+FG High+AA preset - or better- MLT... you'll love the results.
Jon created a studio that incorporate Alex's HDR, see this thread. (But Alex states he doesn't believe HDR is a great way to light car renderings - an actual light studio you can tweak for each car is better - in his opinion)to load an HDR in the 'sky'
simply go to sun & sky wizard, skip sun settings>go to sky tab, choose 'spherical sky' and click the black box to load the hdr. then find/load the Alex studio hdr.or you can also install the HDR probe library from the kerkythea.net downloads section.
then just insert>globals>pick your HDR, and it will set up the scene lighting for you.
be sure to let the HDR do the lighting and turn off any lights you've inserted.
then render.
be sure, also, to try out the metals Patrick posted in the downloads section.
lastly, Alex, whom I would consider one of the Car-rendering-gurus of KT only uses MLT render preset or MLT/BiPT... they do take about 12hrs to render that way, but look fantastic... and it's very simple to do. He's got a great thread about his car rendering studio technique here.
keep up the great work!
also, try some photography studio HDRs by Rayman.

Hi Rogue
I really think that you're renders have potencial (especially the first ones). You should try to get away from the realist renders and start to mix with the sketchup export of lines and then put everything together in photoshop (or GIMP or Net. paint that are free) using multiply or overlay. The results would be a more artistic renders (wich honestly i prefer and can reveal the sensebility of a person to plastic issues). After getting used to this method start playing with styles of lines of sketchup and in a more advance stage with the filters for colour treatment in photoshop.
Try this little experiment and you won't regret it
keep them coming.
Hugsss

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.
I have Photoshop CS2 but I’m not that good in it, to be honest, I’m shet!
I have just got my hands on Fryrender and will be having a bit of fun with it over the next few days.Lets see how it goes!.............Any tips?
-
Nice. wait. 2 render programs?
-
Well, after a little play around with Fryrender I have finished my first test renders.
Each render took 3 hours
Its a little bit rough and not very high quality but it looks ok from a distance. I hope I can figure out how to use the program a little better.
So, what do you think?
-
Not many people seem interested....Come on people! Is it a good render or not? There is a reason why I only have around 100 posts after 6 months, no one replies to them!
-

Stop spamming other peoples topics! Rogue, these are nice renders but I think if you overlay the Sketchup line work it will help break up all that paint... just make sure the lines are subtle, just my opinion!

Thanks for the interest. How do you suggest I do that?

hi....
i'm relatively new to sketchucation and sketchup itself...and have seen some of the other car models of yours...they look really good...
i have a question though...wat tool do you use to get the curves ?....
could you share it , if its o.k. with you..?thanks...
-
Arc Tool, i think thats what he means...
Try youtube for some good tutorials.you also might want to try the PM button or send an email. i would not recoment sketchup for making cars. i would try AutoCAD or another kind of car making program. (i plan i getting Unigraphics car design or something like that (the program that made the S7(i think)))
Also If you have Yahoo internet I would recomend answers (it only works if you have yahoo but it is a very good source) Or wiki answers.Hope this helps
Also sorry about making this Off-Topic >_<

Hello bahjon12, welcome to SCF and thanks for the comments.
The tool you are reffering to is the arc tool. You can also use the circle tool aswell.
When selecting the tool and typing a number and pressing Enter/Return you can change the amount of sides you will have in your arc or circle. You can also turn the arc or circle into editable edges but exploding it.
Both the arc and circle tools can be found on the getting started toolbar in SketchUpI suggest you take a futher look at the Tutorials and browse the 3DWarehouse and YouTube for other helpful stuff:
