Manhattan sketchup model

bordominc

I noticed the double faces were on separate layers then the one below it. I deleted all of the "poly surface" (I think thats what they were called, I don't want to open the original again to find out) layers, now the model is much easier to use.

File sharing and storage made simple

Thank you Bordominc!

Great job! It's working great now.

BTW, there's still some purging that can be done and the option for shadows to be displayed "On Faces" is turned off.

Great model

There are a bunch of extra lines and missing faces but it is fun to play around with!

Don't try this with Sketchup, your machine will explode.

I converted the .skp to .3ds, imported into Vue, added displacement to every building and then added 2500 trees to Central park, rendered in 6m 35s, using a basic spectral atmosphere.

Hi Charly, could you PM me your email address? the file is to big to upload to SCF.

Charlyboy

I'm so impress about the sketchup's community..
All the time someone is here to help.
Thx for all (users) and the sketchup's team

I found this resource in the meantime:

(www.3dcadbrowser.com)

Someone has an account on it?
I had create a free one and I just sent some files (3ds) to have the acces to download some files like manhattan or another models
maybe we can share this account together to have much more model to upload and so more download models

sorry for the double post I forgot to edit

hello everyone
i have been digging around internet for more detailed model and came across
a 3ds file with much more detail from central park to union square area
(With topography!)
i'm having trouble converting the file to sketchup for number of problems.

scale is too small
too much polygon count
model is oriented in weird angle
everything is on one layer but with each building grouped

i tried optimizing the file in order to import it into sketchup but after
two hours of importing, it came to an error

can someone help me import this 3ds into skp format?

Will have a look.

nnnnghn...... This beast has a zillion triangles...Su consumes 1.35GB atm.

And the whole thing is slanted at an angle. Will take some work.

I'm still tidying up bordominc's version (thanks very much for that btw) - slow progress so far... so many reversed faces. Have tried to organise in C4D but with little success.

nightzombie

and its 1.35gb
