              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! πŸ’š

              If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                Eric, so well done as always πŸ˜„ 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 πŸ˜„

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

                                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. πŸŽ‰

                                    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.

                                          An unfortunate workaround in my opinion.
                                          Units are arbitrary measures.
                                          You could conceivably set inches at 100 times what Sketchup has it set. Same with metric.

                                          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
