Ludic Living Room Project

teuf

Hi,

I'm glad to share some SU draws (SketshUp 6 + PhotoShop Element)
This is the living room I planned.

It would be a nice place for our humble home cinema, the desk, the keyboards, the armchair of reading, the wall cupboards of arrangements, the cats and the rat

awesome!
just a criticism.. you need a flat TV

majid

I like it , very lovely home, mate .

Very nice modeling. Some crits would be:

There is alot of plants in the scene and it actually draws the eye away from the space itself.
Some better quality textures could do wonders to the scene.
What looks like an animal cage (between the closet door and the angled wall) is out of place in the scene).
There is too many computers/equipment. This give the feel of a working space over a living space.

I do like the mixed media look. That looks nice.

I have just two words about your work " Love it"...

Great to see some SU lines done well.

dirkkkk

looks ok... you should try PS CS4 instead of elements.. You can do so much more ...

beautiful images!

Beautiful work, but when I first looked at it I was somewhat confused - looks like you mirror copied everything to create a reflection, but looking at the views from above I thought they were additional rooms, with an open framed partition between them. You might want to crop them out of the image, or invest in a program that will add reflections.

Regarding Scott's comments on the jungle of plants and computers, I agree, unless you have a client that actually lives like that.

Thanks for all of you
It's a pleasure.

Thanks, Majid.
My whife and me dreamed about this kind of room long years ago.
We need a "warm" room to spend time between house plants, our pets and our respectiv hobbies.

He he ! Thanks for the interesting feed-backs
We love plants, I would like living in a wood with just a little roof on our heads
I would like these plants "erase" the walls of this room...in fact, there will be much more plants
It's the same thing for the pet (cage and "cat tree")... I assume it be not the tast of everyone but it's quite funny and comfortable to see my rat and my cats everywhere I stay in the principal room of my house.
Yes you're right there it too many computer...
The desk top one would be stay inside the desk or the cupboard, the tablet PC (wich is used to record MIDI sequences) would stay on the keyboards, but the old one (I use sometimes)...I don't know. I tried to put it in a box beside the settee but it's not a good idea.
Even if I like technology, I would wish this room look "natural" ...

Yes these are are 4 mirrors (wall cupboards). I don't know how generate real reflections in SU without renderer.
I'll try to crop this "additional room". Thanks

Yes... I have one : me
In fact, the ony visible computer will be the tablet PC near the keyboards
"Unfortunately" ...I think there will be much more plants in my jungle

I'm quite surprise about comments regarding plants I feel good with them and so sad without greenery and sun.

For someone new to Sketchup, this is very inspiring work, great style.
I am trying to get up to speed with both Sketchup 7.1 and Photoshop CS;
which I plan to upgrade to CS4. Could you please point me in a direction
that will help me in creating this type of style. Thank you,Bob

FoXar

Very impressive, I really like the style and all the green around the home, I would like to live with that much green too at my home,
but with a more simplistic/clean interior, but really I like it!

Keep it up man!

teuf

Thanks FoXar,
Glad to ear you.

Thanks Bob,

I'm no so a newbie ...I work with SU since november 2008 after 10 year with autocad
I obtain this style using two JPG :
One with black wire-frame on white paper.
Another one with color and textures.
I use photoshop elements to mix them (eraser with diferent levels of transparency)

Another exemples with this kind of style :

And what I did with autocad :
With Wire frame :

With autocad built in renderer :

Quite cold, istn't it ? (I did that to make me an idea about space and colors)
Far behind from what Majid and Solo are able to do
(Very great work, Majid !!! )

Beautiful image style...more please!?!

john.warburton

Love this style - very well done.

Can you say where you got the pallets, racking, forklifts, etc for the storage image?

I'm working on something similar and trying to decie if I should build my own components or buy them in.

In fact I use to draw my own 2D and 3D components (except plants, audi A4 and Smart in sketchup, which I downloaded on Google 3dwarehouse)

Really nice rendering style. Love it.

plot-paris

uh, I really like the fourth image, the line drawing with dimesions.
how did you get these dimensions in there? is it a texture? or 3D text?

dlauch

Very cool style. I played around with some of my sketchup images and Photoshop 7. to try to create a similar effect. I'm very happy with the results. Thanks for the inspiration!
