Most impressive SketchUp modelling
-
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

there are some clues about the different techniques. -
thank you very much!

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

Absolutely!

Been watching him for a while now. His work is sexy! Damn beautiful vehicles he creates and renders!

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?

Here we go again again...

I'll split the topic when/if it continues. It is a debate worth having, but not here.

This last model reminded me of Durant Hapke
We would be remiss to not include his work, although it was so much more than fantastic modeling.
I never missed a Durante rant, but I sure do now.
Durant, where are you?http://forums.sketchucation.com/report.php?f=81&p=43436

Where ARE all the old posters?
Their work inspired me and their advice helped me.
Were they so good they became much sought after and no longer had time to post here?
I miss them. This thread is a good example of the incredible variety of design that can be done in SketchUp.
