Silvershadow's Eye Candy 3 - H.M.C.S SNOWBERRY

bravo!

The model does not handle too hard (quite amazed myself) but yes i had to work around some obstacles to make stuff work. There will be a tutorial prob by tomorrow covering parts of the ocean and other stuff. I have noticed something on the model side and really want to share it with you guys. I believe sketchup can handle more polygons than we actually think. I am guessing, that the model poly count at the moment is about 5 mil lopy + . Last time i checked it ran around 3 mil and it was only the half of the model. There is some programs to calculate this, but some does not work that well, because i have got triangles smaller than 1mm. My discovery is, it looks like sketchup can handle a lot, but as soon as you apply textures to such a model, it is starting to fall apart and makes it slower and slower. My guess is, anything made in sketchup, with no textures, will handle till your computer cant take it anymore. I actually tried to crash sketchup by putting too much poly count on it and see if it can crash...but it never did. If google can look at the way sketchup reads textures, i believe sketchup will speed up dramatically. I have the model to proove it, and it is still running. It does take about a 3 minutes to open, but works perfect once its open, and i dont even have a super computer. This was my biggest discovery.

HOLY CRAP, silver, just amazing stuff there mate. I love the detail and the clay renders, all superb.

Absolutely superb.
Exquisite workmanship.I would love to see this produced on a 3D printer.
To see this come to life with all that detail would be fantastic.
Could 3D printers cope with all that detail?Some tutorials for us mere mortals would be appreciated.
Especially your creation of the ocean.Regards

Jacques, what can I say that has not already been mentioned? I do not know how you do it, I just do not have the temperament, patience and passions you have.
What an amazingly detailed model, crazy amounts of detail in fact. You are the man as mentioned many times, did you know that folks like you either end up as renowned artists or in asylums?, glad you are the former.Well done once again in creating an awe inspiring work and setting the bar beyond anything I will ever achieve, or even attempt for that matter.
As for the next one, it won't be long until the bug bites and you start it all again, it's in your blood,it's what you do.
Thanks for sharing.

silver: astounding. I do not know what is more impressive, your work or your commitment to it. They are both inspiring and I congratulate you on some of the best work I have seen in SU.
-
astounding! i'm in awe! i agree with the textures/poly count thing, ive done very detailed models, and they're much faster than crappy ones with a few textures.
but google never listen
again, brilliant work

This is incredible!
What plugins did you use? How did you make all the ropes and fabrics? Did you use sketchyphysics to position the chains, or was it all manually?
Sorry I'm asking so many questions, but this is probably the greatest sketchup model I've ever seen. -
The chains and fabric are modeled by hand. The chains were placed bit by bit to create the right curve.
The cables / ropes were made with tube along path rubie by TIG, awesome rubie, and the fabric on the hedgehog was made with Chris Fullmer ' s simple loft tool. No sketchy physics were used in this production. -
Why cant I do that?
Seriously the best model I have ever seen. I think Google should awarded you a free lifetime upgrade to SU pro! This shows the true capabilities of SU.Well done and I bet your dad loves it!
cheers..

This is absolutely stunning work...!!!!!!!!
Can't say anything that haven't already been said...
You sure must have too much time... -
Just immense matey.. the level of detail is awesome and inspiring.
-
.....oh my god.....
What is in your everyday diet..... bread and engineering???
Incredibly perfect -
What a beautiful thing to wake up to. The story behind the intention was very heart warming. Wonderful modeling Jacques! Will you eventually try to texture or paint the model....perhaps in Modo or Max?
-
Dude! Way over the top. There are no adequate superlatives for this level of work. Flamtingletabulous doesn't even come close...
-
Beautiful work indeed.
