Hello Ken,
the ship is a fantastic job. I'm very excited about it.
Thank you, Mr. Karlheinz Hauser. I am glad you like the ship. It was quite a fun project to work on.

Wow Ken! Impressive as always. I love the simplicity yet it's complex and detailed as well.
Thank you for your kind words, Bryan. I do like building models with tons of details, but sometimes I like simplicity, too. As Mies van der Rohe says, "Less is more".
Hello everyone,
Here's a render I did last year. I found the SketchUp model of this Japanese temple in the warehouse (sorry I don't remember who did it). I decided to experiment with Lumion3D. Some post work in PS as usual.
Thanks for viewing and have a great weekend!

Do you by any chance make models for SimCity4 Rush Hour also? I'm a big SimCity4 fan. Nice works BTW.

I love this thread ! Learned so much just by looking

Thanks for you kind words, Mariyan. Very happy that you are able to learn something from my Skp models.
I always wanted to create some end-of-the-world-scenes.
Story: a few months after World War III, after an alien invasion, after global warming when the human race has ceased to exist , or...?
Pick your fate.
Sketchup + Lumion3D + Photoshop
Cheers!

p.s. the original model of the Oval Office is from the Warehouse.

You're very welcome, Bryan.
Hello everyone,
Finally, I am able to post the concepts I did for the video game Skylanders Trap Team (http://www.skylanders.com/home?utm_campaign=skylanders-trapteam-launch-us%26amp;utm_medium=search%26amp;utm_source=google%26amp;utm_term=skylanders-trap-team-exact.
It was shipped last week.
I really had a great and fun time working on it. My art style is usually realistic, but it was nice to do something different, more stylized and whimsical.
Here's one of the concepts. Stay tuned for more.
SketchUp + V-Ray for Skp + Photoshop
Have a good day!

Wow. Some serious polygon work there.

Nice ruins. Have you been able to travel to archeological sites?

Haha, yes a lot...thanks Bryan.

Thanks, Peter. Yes, I have been to Cancun archaeological sites (Chichen Itza, Tulum). I wish I could visit the Roman ruins in Italy, the Parthenon/Acropolis and other Greek temples, the Egyptian pyramids, Angkor ruins, etc.
What about you? Have you been to any of them?
Take care,

I've been to ruinas all around Mexico. Uxmal and Palenque are especially fantastical. Also Native American southwest ruins. Chaco Canyon is mind-altering.
Would like to see more in Asia. They've discovered more incredible city sites in Cambodia.
Scaled Borobudur in Java.
Although NOT ruins, I have also visited Balinese temples. Their work is fascinating.

Hi Peter,
Wow, that's awesome. I did not know you are into ruins and visited so many of them.
Hello everyone,
Here's another concept that is part of that ruin level in Skylanders Trap Team.
The color concept shows the background sill in blocking phase. The SketchUp wireframe was taken later therefore showing the finished model. I will post final color renders of that background in other views later.
Have a good week!

Hello Ken.
As an engineer I like your industrial buildings for Sim-City, they look very accurate and have nice balance of details. Did you use some references for them?
