Blue Balls
- 
Mate I didn't know what I was going to see when opening this thread!
"Blue Balls" obviously doesn't have the same meaning as here is OZ!
 - 
I believe it does. I like to keep you guys on your toes...
 - 
Here is a shot with a colored HDRI background and some colored Omni lights.

As lovely as they are I would like to see SU output too, if possible?
 - 
Cool!

As soon as SketchUp Artists posts the tutorial I will paste a link. And thanks Rich.
Over 170,000 poly count. - 
that is really terrific Eric. Because of renders like this and seeing what wizards like you were doing in Boulder with it (Pete et al) , I am getting Thea render for Christmas.

side note. . .isn't it interesting how many hits a thread will get if it has the word B*lls in it!

 - 
Eric, so well done as always
  I really need to jump into Thea Render and start having some fun. At the moment I'm designing some Polynesian themed kiosks and the Fur plugin is doing such a nice job in creating thatch, I'm really loving that plugin

Eric, I had a break from project today, so rendered a quick one too, keeping on topic of balls.

 - 
That's a load of balls Pete! You made a right balls of it...

Nice render though Pete.

Edit: Hmmm. There's no one in the reflection taking a picture or anything.

 - 
Nice rendering Pete. You sure do have a lot of balls. Mine are 3'-9" in diameter however. How big are your balls?
 - 
My balls are huge!!

was wondering if the thread was deleted or something by nah, it's still there

Ok Pete, you win again

 - 
May I ask a serious question? Why would one model his bal-, er, ornaments so large. Seriously though. I would like to know what is the advantage to having larger-than-life models. Would someone please enlighten me.

 - 
John, I jest, I shrunk the person.
 - 
So they are really about 2"-3" in diameter? Gotcha'.

 - 
Actually I did draw mine over 3 feet in diameter. I wanted to have a real smooth mesh and when you draw small objects sometimes SketchUp cannot fill in the polygons. Sometimes it is better to model large then scale it down, sometimes.
 - 
Ooooohhh K. Now I get it. Thanks.
