hi everybody

Here's my current wip.
I learned a lot with sketchup : projection texture, books, and the bumps on the sofa

Here is two images of the same scene, one during the day and the other during the night.
The night scene was no easy to setup. I have only one light source. I spent a lot of time playing with the light parameters....and I'm not convinced.

Maybe I should add some plants.....I think I'm going to buy the very nice Solo's Garden Pack...but, I'd like to try making some plants myself.

What do you think ?

P.S. The John Lennon poster has been found on the web. It's not my creation.

Luis Esteves

Another one, with focus on the books (i'm proud of my books ).

its very.. ahh.. orange.

looks very nice though, if your into orange.

Luis Esteves

Yes, maybe too much orange

Here's another one with different color...
I added a plant from the Solo's Garden Pack. It brings life to the scene

Dear Luis,

I'm amused by your eclectic reading tastes: 'Getter and Getter-Ion Vacuum Pumps. A ripping yarn, no doubt. Sort of thing I would read.

Bob

This books seems to be a little bit complicated for me.
Yesterday, I had some money to spend. I could buy this book on amazon....but I finally decided to buy the Solo's Garden pack,
I hope I will not regret it

Yesterday, I started designing books in sketchup, but it was difficult to find good quality images of books (front + sides + back).
I must take fotos of my own books this sunday, to design more books.

Best Regards,
Luis

Another book with own fotos.

Some more books designed this morning with my fotos.

Nice work Luis. I like your books. It would be great if you could share them.

Yes I can but...

The only problem, is the file size. I must decrease the images size (currently 6MBytes per book )...I'm currently doing some tests to optimize the files.

Best Regards,

Nice renders. The one's on the top looks like the real thing.

Luis Esteves

Thanks for the comments.
I will post here some books when they are optimized.

Best Regards,
Luis
