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...In fact I have a whole dir full of pluggins that looked useful, but I never loaded into SU. They are there if in fact I have a need for them, and most importantly, if I remember it is already there.
I also have a bunch of plugins loaded into SU that I have either never used, or used once or twice, again, if I remembered they are there.
But there are a few I use as much as the draw, or move tools, mainly Curviloft, Joint-PP, Pipe-along-path, and a few others I can't remember using; if the tool is indeed a plugin not an SU native tool.
The moral here is only load into SU the plugins that will help you effectively do a task common to what you normally draw.
And have the memory to know they are there when you need them. Thanks for the tips jgb...

Wow! Amazing models! Sorry if this has been asked already, but how on earth do you guys get those textures on your models to look so realistic like that? Just on page one alone of this thread...the car by urgen and the guitar pic posted by dale.
Amazing!

I have been coming to this site for 3 years now and really never got into the "writing on a forum" untill this last year after loosing my job and searching for work in a town that was proposed dead in residential design.
This is a shot of the last home I designed in Sketchup, Is it worthy of this thread, I will let you figure that out. The one thing tht I will comment on is....
- This is all Sketchup - from the ground up
- No script or plugins were used, everything is designed and drawn from Sketchup 8.
- landscape was added from 3dWarehouse
- The output is directly from Sketchup - No rendering, No Photoshop

Not sure if he's been mentioned prior, but I think Tadema's work is worthy of inclusion. Here's one:

To be completely honest, none of the great samples shown in this thread would be possible without Plug-ins and painful long hours of recreating surfaces over and over again (work around's) until it fits. Right?

And you think that with other 3d apps you do it differenly? They may have all the plugin functions integrated but you still need patience and hard work to make cool stuff, in fact much more patience and hardwork to just learn the UI.
There is nothing wrong in having a simple and friendly interface that is augmented with mostly FREE plugins. Why would it benefit you to have a cluttered UI with all the possible tools and maybe just use 10% of them, instead of having a flexible UI?
