Models that really work

Thanks for sharing this, great modeling, very neat.
Troy what style is used in the SketchUp views you've posted?
-
Looks great, Troy and Robert. Will you be texturing it?

Thanks Daniel!
At this point in time there are no plans to texture the model or do any advanced rendering. The builder that is doing the remodeling (who is also an architect) was very specific about wanting to study the changes without the clutter of texture. I'm finding that is a fairly common request especially among the old school guys like myself that remember the smell ammonia

One of the worst days of my life! Only just starting working and a few weeks in walked down the office hallway with a bloated bottle of ammonia. Made the mistake of unscrewing the cap whilst walking and the fumes went straight into my face! Threw up my lunch straight away, eyes, nose and throat burning like buggery! Got my first early mark though!
I can still remember the days of paper cuts whilst printing, the ammonia added to the cut felt like you'd taken your finger off!

The days of the designer as a chemist are closing quickly. I still deal with ink cartridges and toner, but nothing more toxic than that- nothing to loose one's lunch over
The style we used in the SU images is a default Edges-only with no profile or extensions, simple white background and shadows on. Robert applies a very pleasing style to the drawings before showing the client anything final; similar to the default style above but with extensions on. It gives the graphics a very non-threatening appearance, as though they are still open to change; the power of a sketch. -
Thanks alot Troy, it does look great.

Here's a little something for Stinkie...it's not a studio set up per se, but it gives the effect of a museum board model.
Amazing!! How did you do this
-
Bob, thanks- this is some Thea magic. Obviously modeled in SU and exported to Thea, then the fun begins. Using Thea's IBL (image-based lighting) one's able to insert an HDRI into the scene and use it for lighting and/or the background image. One step i forgot to do for this was to insert an infinite plane so there would be a shadow cast by the model into the table. So i had to do it in Photoshop. The materials are a stock white and a thin material for the windows. Very fine results from Thea.

So the table upon which the model sits comes from the HDRI?

That's right! I think in the future i'll model a table; that'll give me more control...it's not easy finding a good HDRI with a table just where you want it!
