            @ rens: Thanks for your kind words and interest. For modeling, I use Sketchup basic tools as wells plugins like TIG's Extrude tools, Fredo's Joint Push Pull, Fredo's Scale, Draw Taper, just to name a few that I use the most for this kind of model.

            @ Pilou: Thanks for your question. See image below for polygon count.

            @Peter: Thanks for your kind words. Some of my buildings in real life? Sure, these are not sci-fi... πŸ˜‰ but here are a few of the projects I worked on from 1998 to 2003 while I was with VLK Architects (http://www.vlkarchitects.com/) before I quit my job to move to San Francisco and work for the game/film industries.

            That's how I started learning SketchUp for Architecture when it came out in Fall of 2000.

            I was either in charge of a project as the main designer or working with the Design Director on a bigger project for these buildings below.

            Take care,

              Hello there,

              Here's a hangar I did for one of my space fighters.

              That model was quite big with 865,369 quads/tris.

              SketchUp + Vray for sketchUp + Photoshop

              Hope you like it.

              Have a great weekend!

                          Maybe we should have a subfolder under "most impressive Sketchup modeling" and have Ken post all his work there.

                          My avatar is an anachronism.

                            LOL...thank you for your kind words, Daniel. But I believe there are many talented people in this forum who deserve their own "most impressive Sketchup modeling" subfolder. I have seen lots wonderful models and renders. Keep them coming. You all inspire me.

                            All the Best,

                                          Hi everyone,

                                          Here's a couple of concepts I did for the latest Simcity expansion: Cities of Tomorrow, that was released last year. (http://www.simcity.com/en_US/buy/ep1

                                          These buildings are a bit more futuristic compared to the ones I posted before.

                                          The designs below are based on Minimalism.

                                          SketchUp + Vray for Skp + Photoshop

                                          Hope you like them.

                                          Have a great day! β˜€
