      I love your work man, mostly your awesome ship. Could you maybe explane how you did your engines?

      @ 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.

      Cool! 😎
      Any idea of the Number of facettes / Size file of a such complete architecture object ?

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

      Wild! Fantastic but so real and intricate! Would like to see some of your buildings in real life.

      @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˜€
