Most impressive SketchUp modelling
-
That stuff from Scifiwarships is really awesome -- highly render-able too, this a is try out of Maxwell and you can see his stuff really is ready to go.
Thank-you for the heads up, I'll be keeping an eye on him.Best,
Jason. -

You're welcome, he's awesome
and by the way nice render. -
Hi all...
Just wondering...are there any amazing designs that created just by using pure google sketchup (without additional plugins).I am a newbie here, so my question might look stupid.

There is no such thing as a stupid question, especially when from a novice.
The object behind nearly all pluggins is either to correct a deficiency or to enhance a feature, or most usually, make a tedious task easier, faster or more accurately.
The rendering you see in preceding posts are all after the fact of drawing the model. There is very little "rendering" capability in SU, so 3rd party apps or pluggins are needed to "put the lipstick and eye shadow" on. You still need the skills in SU to make a realistic model before you dress it up.
So, yes, you can make a model in SU without any pluggins, but it will take a lot more effort.
As an example, I design airplanes, and not just the exterior views, I put in components and assemblies, such as structure, mechanics, etc. It used to take me a week to make a fairing (the curved skin where 2 parts of the structure meet, such as wing to fuselage) in native SU.
Then Curviloft came along and that reduced to about 2 days. I need to draw both the outer skin or moldline and the inner surface of composite panels that were usually 1/2 to 1 inch thick. I could not simply copy the outer skin 1/2 inch away, then join the edges, as the inner curve changes with the thickness.
Then Joint-Push-Pull came along and the construction time for a fairing is now a few hours.

Every so often you see somebody talking about how they made such and such complex model and only used native SketchUp tools -- first of all that is meant to be bragging... and secondly I have to think they are:
a) Crazy
b) Stupid
c) Ignorant
d) Lyingor all of the above.
Unless you are the type who enjoys shoving splinters under your fingernails to prove how tough you are, you would be a fool not to avail yourself of the tons of free and incredible ruby scripts that are made for SketchUp... they will save you much time and frustration, and possibly open new avenues of creative expression.

I can create a photoreal image with Paint!
-
I can do photoreal with etch-a-sketch.
-
I can do photoreal with my camera...wait..
-
Very well said Jason.
-
-
i am photo real
-
I can create the most amazing and complex SketchUp model with native Autocad tools.
-
I can create something completely unrealistic using all the plugins that I don't have a clue about (I can also do it without using any plugins)
-
thanks guys..btw you're all very funny..
actually i have downloaded so many plugins after a few days exploring sketchup.
i think i need to do lot more exercise before playing with all the plugins.
its a loooooong way... -

It must be something beyond us mere mortals. Besides, I doubt I would ever have the patience to model such a detailed ship.

..wow....btw...the word deviantart reminds me of those sexy cgi babes...never thought it has something beyond that "categories" ...until today..

Hmm I think you could handle it with a good use of layers in SU?
