      Hi there,

      I just dug out a few 3d concepts I did for a sci-fi game a few years ago. I cannot name the name of the game yet.

      These are some kind of alien devices. Modeled in Sketchup and rendered with Vray.

      I will post some more soon.

      Have a great day! ☀

                  **Hi Everyone,

                  So as I have mentioned before, my contract with EA/Maxis working on Simcity 5 has ended last November. Unfortunately, I cannot post anything yet.

                  Not having job is not so fun as I still have to pay bills and support my family. On the other hand, I can do what I want. I finally have some free time to work on personal projects different from what I would do for work. I did a bunch of vehicles (sci-fi and realistic contemporary/ Tanks, boats, airplanes, etc.).

                  Keep watching for this thread as I will add some of more my recent concepts.

                  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day! ☀

                  Best,

                  _KN**

                      Here's another personal project, less sci-fi, more contemporary and realistic.

                          **Here's a combat droid. I did some before but they were smaller and less detailed. I really had fun working on this one. I will try to do some more when I have time.

                          Have a great day!

                            Hi everyone,

                            I hope you had a good weekend.

                            Here are some older renders I did using one of the droids I posted in this thread a while ago.

                            Sketchup + Lumion3D + Photoshop.

                            Have a great week!

                              Well that doesn't look like anything I've seen done in Lumion as yet! It's so pretty for scene of destruction! Thanks for posting Ken. I think we may be benefiting to see works from your free time. I hope you get hooked up soon though, if not already.

                                Hi Peter,

                                Thanks for you kind words.

                                Yeah, it's nice to have free time to work on personal stuff. However, I still need to pay the bills and support the family.

                                I had a couple of interviews with some game companies, but they decided to pursue other candidates. A recruiter, friend of mine who worked in the same company some years ago, just emailed me today. He actually has a job opening that he want to talk to me about. We'll see how things go.

                                Have a great day!

                                  Hi there,

                                  Here are some more personal projects. Submarine concepts.

                                  I really had fun working on the Sci-Fi/Steampunk submarine.

                                  Have a great day! ☀

                                        Hey, my old '56 Sunliner is seeing some action 😆
                                        Did it survive the attack?

                                        Your work is fantastic, very imaginative, and very detailed (and I like details) 👍

                                            @ Steve M.: did you mean you have a real '56 Sunliner car, or did you build that model? When I don't have time or not so interested in modeling certain models, I downloaded some from the warehouse like that Sunliner.
                                            Anyway, thanks for your comments. Glad you like my work. Yes, I love details. 😄

                                            @ Bryan K: Thanks for your kind comment. I am happy that I am an inspiration for other Sketchup artists out there. One of the secrets of being a better modeler is practice, practice and practice. Pratice makes perfect as they say. 😉

                                            Hey everyone,

                                            I hope you had a great weekend.

                                            Here are some more vehicles. As usual, Sketchup + VrayfS + Photoshop.
