      TaffGoch,

      Thank you for the explanation, you're like a magician with Sketchup, except that you will share your 'tricks' πŸ˜†

        Marcus (and any other interested parties,)

        I've attached the Kerkythea "scene" file, so you can examine the material settings for the metallized colors.

        I "jazzed" the color/specular settings a bit more:

        Metallized colors
        I used MLT, and let the render run overnight (about 350 passes.) The above is a 50% scaled jpeg. The original is 1100x1100 pixels.

              Please forgive me reviving an old thread but this entire thread is definitely one of my all time SketchUcation favorites. The depth of tutorial information in this thread is just awesome.

              AND, there is new and hopefully relevant information to add. The GIF that by Cosycat that was posted by simon le bon on Sun Jul 25, 2010 has now officially gone viral.

              I have seen it as the Profile image on Facebook by someone who had never heard of SketchUp. It is also regularly used by "vsauce" as a background in many of his videos, as seen here starting at 0:25.

              Just FYI.

                with an image that seems to be making its way into the pop culture.

                        Thanks for posting! Great video, which I would never have otherwise seen.

                        Hmmm, I built my SketchUp model by hand, using "jigs" (of a sort.)

                            i would have guessed the assembly is more automated than this.
