The Art of SketchUp - part 2: Sci-Fi

EarthMover

I can't wait for my 13 yr old son to come home so I can show him your two modeling threads. He got into SU for a few weeks, but got bored and put it down. I think your work will definitely inspire him to pick it back up! Thanks for sharing!!!

numbthumb: No, the sci-fi models are personal projects. I am actually working on a sci-fi game in conjunction with SyFy channel. Hopefully I can show some of them in the future. Right now I am under NDA.

Adam: Thank you. I hope your son will get inspired by my work and get back to sketchup.

Have a nice one,

Dolf: Thank you. Will keep on posting.

Boofredlay: LOL...thank you.

Roberto/artysmedia: Most of my texturing is postwork in Photoshop. However, I do put textures and materials directly into the models when possible or when Photoshop cannot do its magic with for example bricks or other tileable materials. Well, it can, but it will take longer and it is more difficult to keep the right perspective/proportions, while in sketchup you just use the pain bucket, fast and easy.

Scottpara: Thanks, Scott. I love doing details in my sketchup models.

Ok, here another sci-fi weapon. I will add more stuff later.

Thanks for viewing.
