Energy Harvesters? Don't know...maybe...why not. Thanks for your comment, Carsten.

Here's a couple of tanks.

By the way, there is a tutorial on Sketchupartists.org about my texturing techniques. Here's the link http://www.sketchupartists.org/tutorials/sketchup-and-photoshop/art-of-sketchup-texture-workflow/, alghough you probably saw all of them already in my previous posts.

Thanks for stopping by. Good day to you.

Salut Pilou. No, they are not automatised. I have to render each pass individually and combine them in Photoshop. Thanks for asking. I hope this answers your question.

Bonne journee!

Thanks, Oliver. Really appreciate your kind words. Honestly, I don't know when I will have time to finish it. I have lots of WIP that I need to work on, too. Since I have so many images to post, I have been trying not to post huge images so that my Photobucket account won't explode.

Thanks for you comment, Karl. I have another WIP of a hangar for my spaceships. I will post it soon.

Here some old Sketchup conceptual models for the game Defiance (http://www.defiance.com/en/) that I worked on in late 2009 to mid 2010.

I did not do the Photoshop background painting. It was done by another in-house concept artist.

Have a great week!

Hi Jason,

Just ask me your question(s) and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I am always busy, and it might take days, but you will get a reply.

Take care.

You're welcome, Pilou. Bonne journee!

That sci-fi/steampunk submarine I did before needed a hangar.

So here it is. A WIP, it has been over 4 months and I still have not had the time to go back to it, but I will finish it someday.

Thanks, Oli. Actually you won't see these models. There were done back in 2009. They got some new designers and a new Art Director on board the next year, and they changed most of everything based on the new directions. I was back to working on Rift at that time.
