I dont want to be rude but some of these works are not... so impressive tho im not going to point out the ones that I have in my mind.

Love that quarter sawn texture on the little clock and the clock is really a beauty.

Thank you. I think it was you who made the quartersawn material.

Then what's the point of even commenting?

Like any art form, it's subjective to the eye of the beholder, not to mention the beholder's own skillset used as a frame of reference.

And dont forget this is also 'Most impressive SketchUp modelling**' not rendering! All of the models displayed here are special I think!

CoreMaster110

I wasn't only looking the render itself but also the model.
As the name of this topic is "MOST impressive sketchup modelling" then I realy hope to see MOST impressive modelling.

Dave R

Why don't you offer something constructive?

Stinkie

I'm thinking Karl means some of the stuff shown is quite simple. Which is true, obviously. That said, "simple" and "impressive" aren't mutually exclusive, IMHO.

Dave R

I don't have any problem with a critique. I think it's a good thing if it is constructive. Vague comments like "not... so impressive" don't qualify as constructive criticism and comments like this aren't useful in any way in a thread like this with work from so many different people.

Rich O Brien

It's a subjective topic. I find architecture, rendered or not, impressive as I'm not in that field. There's one particular member, tadema I think, has great models showing English cottages. Dave's furniture too is always something I enjoy viewing.

There's also stuff that I roll my eyes at that others get in a tizzy about. I choose not to comment unless asked for crits.

But what I like most is members solutions to tricky shapes. Jeff Hammond's skatepark stuff where Elisei showed such a clever solution that continued to get refined just blew me away. None of this stuff is here but it's the things I bookmark as pure modelling.

If you wanna see what I call genius at work, watch Kito Kraupp on YouTube. That's impressive to me. Wish my brain work like that!

CoreMaster110

I dont say that some of the models are not impressive because they are simple nor am I trying to say that they are bad, but what im trying to say is that you could find thousands of models from warehouse that are more impressive then some of the models here.
If these models can't impress me than how can they impress people who use 3ds, maya etc???

Rich O Brien

@CM
They're not solely to impress you I suppose. But have you offered your criticism in the original thread? A model/artist/hobbyist can improve through good critique.

Imagine if I said that your tanks look crap. And left it at that. Wouldn't you like to know why I said they were crap. Or would you shrug your shoulders and move on?

Personally I'd like criticism. It makes you strain your abilities.

But your entitled to come on this thread and state your opinion and leave it at that. It makes 'no' difference to this threads content or purpose at the end of the day. All it does is drift away from the OP topic.

@modelhead
So true. SU is turning into the Swiss Army Knife of the 3G world.

Wow! I didn't know you were the final authority on what impresses people who use 3ds and Maya.

Why would someone like me care about impressing those people? I don't really do anything with the intention of impressing anyone. If it does, that's great.

@Rich, thank you very much for the nice words.

From my initial post:
A collection of the best of the best that would impress most on people that are not aware of SketchUps capabilities.
So he does have a point. This thread was created to gather some great examples of what SU can do so that I/you can point people complaining about SU beeing a "toy software" here and show "the best of the best".
Enough complaining, keep posting, but only the best...

Stinkie

Okay.

How about this one by Remus (the render is Sepo's)?

Stinkie

Wow, wow, wow. I may not necessarely agree with CoreMaster, but 'violent', 'clear intention to be destructive'? Let's not overreact here. This is a forum, there's bound to be disagreement.

Instead of arguing if posted images are good enough, please post one or two of those warehouse model images YOU are impressed by.
To all, now try to get this thread back on track.

CoreMaster110

Ok whatever I lost. I dont want to argue anymore. and I'll STFU!

@simon le bon
why did u but these pictures of my models here??? these were not meant to be impressive... and they are for a game.
