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

you wont believe the time Ive spent looking at your images. I just cant get enough.
I so wish I had your skill. You truely are an artistWell done

The water, and it's texture, was a lesson on it's own. This model is absolutely fantastic, in an incomprehensible sense.
Sketchup does not deserve the stigma it has among the pros, and this proves it. -
Sick!
And terribly awesome! How the hell did you manage the polycount?
-
another bomb// wow silver what a dedication you have wiht this soft. google will hug hug hug and kiss your...now.
-
he he i dont really think google is really going to care how good or awesome models is going to be, pushing sketchup like this wont probably do any difference in the development of su 8
I'm so glad you guys like the model, was kind of skeptic if i should post so many images. But so far, it seems everyone is pleased and if i look back on candy 2 now, it really is nothing in comparison to detail on this model. Thanks guys for all the kind replies.

silver_shadow, you don't imagine how many people here in Brazil knows you for your Eye candy's works. You are the greatest with sketchup man, i'm so sad how can google stay with this powerfull tool of modeling and not improove this so mutch loved software. I can tell you that you are very known in all world, for all those ho use sketchup, and i always show your work to those who use another software, to show that sketchup is capable.
Thanks for sharing this great work! -
Oh my god. I still can't decide whether your post is the greatest sketchup inspiration ever or the one that ended all my ambitions. You've created the ultimate benchmark!
Perfect water, incredible details, beautiful render... in fact my first thought was "OK, that's his reference picture, let's see the model he made", the rest was -
Silvershadow - stunning display of modelling skill and observational skills!
I'm not sure if you are aware but the last surviving Corvette - the H.M.C.S Sackville - is in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and is open to the public during the summer tourist season (May 1 - September 30) and open by appointment throughout the rest of the year. The Corvette has a website here but unfortunately it doesn't do it justice. I think you are going to have to go visit! I also think the trust that looks after the H.M.C.S Sackville would be very interested in your model - your detailed model suggests so many educational & interpretive possibilities.
Thanks for sharing it with us
Regards, RossPS - Here's a good pic of the HMCS Sackville the last time the tall ships were in Halifax. The international gathering of world-class Tall Ships is returning to Halifax from July 16 to August 1, 2009. It would be a great time to visit Halifax! I guarantee you'll love the city.

Hi guys as promised, some goodies for download.
You will notice that the textures on the water and hull is blurred and really low resolution. This was only done to kill file size. When you do render re link the texture in the material tab with the higher resolution texture.
Candy 1 2 were not made to be shared and i just built it with a lot of mistakes in it. Candy 3 was also not made to be shared, but eventually in the end of the course, i decided to give this whole package away.Elements on these models could have been simplified by using textures (where i actually built it) and in some cases lower poly could have been used on some curved areas. I did purposely put some unnecessary poly into the model to see if it will crash and after all of it, it still worked. These models are not for sale, these models may not be used to make money from it by selling it. Those who need it for study purposes, or people actually need some info building plastic models on these models, feel free to study them, i tried to be as accurate as i could source from the web. For those who want Candy 1, i would recommend that they download the untextured one first. Its a scene model, so only what you see is modeled. Behind there is nothing. I am also including the building plates ( the ribs and profile pictures ) for those who want to model their own ones, and the original output images, unsized for those who also want to download it.
Please do not abuse this. Its a gift to SCF.
