                          Hi everyone,

                          Sorry, I have been quiet the past few months. I have been quite busy with work as well as babysitting my little princess.

                          Unfortunately, I still cannot show any of my current projects from work. But here's a personal project I did.

                          This was my submission for the NVArt Challenge. I did not win anything, but it was really fun and a great learning experience to improve my modeling skills.

                          My original plan was to build these models and some architectural futuristic buildings/environment with people in there. Do some renders and paint over in the style of Syd Mead. But time wasnโ€™t on my side. I started about 10 days before the deadline and worked a few hours at night (whenever I did not have to soothe my little princess back to sleep).

                          I only had time to finish the models.

                          Modeled in Sketchup and rendered with Vray / HDRI.

                          Thanks for viewing and have a terrific day! โ˜€

                          p.s. I also work on some fantasy architecture as personal project. Make sure to check out The Art of sketchup - part 1: Fantasy soon.

                                          @ Sepo: Thank you. Glad you like them.

                                          @ Phil Rader: Thanks for your comments. Cool architecture projects that you're working on. I have been to Minneapolis once before with my wife to visit her parents. That was "meet the parents" trip. LOL

                                          @ Liam: I would love to see what you'd come up with if you had time to enter the competition. i am sure it will be an awesome model. Just checked out some of your latest stuff. I love the lego model and the USMC tumbler. Great job! ๐Ÿ‘

                                          @ Dolphus: Thank you, Sir. How is your airplane project going?

                                          @ Michalis: Thanks for your thumbs up. check out the thread The Art of Sketchup - part 1: Fantasy. I replied to your message about the accuracy of the Greek temple. ๐Ÿ˜„

                                          @ modelhead: thank you for your comment.

                                          @ Fletch: Thank you, I should. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                          @ Suc: Thanks. I wish I could post more of the Sci-fi stuff but i don't have anymore. ๐Ÿ˜ž Hopefully, it time allows I will do some for spaceships and futuristic cars.

                                          @ Pilou: merci beaucoup. J'espere que tout va bien en France. A+

                                          As promised, I have posted a couple images of the current personal project that I am doing lately. Check them out in the thread The Art of Sketchup - part 1: Fantasy.

                                            Cheers, yeah I was disappointed that I only found the competition when there was little time left.
                                            I think sketchup is a great tool and I love taking it head to head with the 3dsmax and Lightwave users in competitions its always a fun challenge. It annoys me sometimes when people just dismiss sketchup as a sub standard piece of software, yes its true its not as powerful as the others cannot handle large files and has a few big flaws but its still pretty awesome!
                                            What do you use to paint over your models just a tablet and photoshop I assume?

                                            http://events.cgsociety.org/NVArt/05/ this was the competition i was thinking about by the way I assume its the same one?
