House and garden

No render, no background, just a raw SU image but, well I enjoy this kind of thing and it makes my clients happy.

Thanks, although I can't take credit for a lot of the veg. Just modified it to make it what it need to be

Looks great. While I love the renders here, it's good to see just plain old SketchUp output.

One question, though. The sky looks good. Is that a picture? I ask because I thought that could be done, but I haven't tried it yet.

Thanks - plants is kind of why I do this.

Bryan - In this case the sky is from here - http://www.gaieus.hu/su/Cloudy.style - but you can definetely do cool stuff with pictures. Here's one which lacks a bit in subtlety but kind of works anyway - still has some things that need fixing but nevermind. (edited a little bit because there is still work I should be doing and this is more entertaining)

That's the important part.
Nice work.

And to give proper credits, (I think) it was Chris Fullmer's sky creation shared back on the old @Last Forums.

And yes, certainly it's kind of "refreshing" to see some native SU output nowadays when we are spoilt with the abundance of rendering apps and rendered models!
