My "Side by Side" Refrigerator Model
-
Hey guys! Long time no see! It's been a while since I Visited the SketchUcation Forums and Website!
I recently modeled a "Side by Side" Refrigerator (is that how you call it in English?). The model is very efficient with a total final size of approx. 950 KB! It's a good model for render as well (shown in the video too).
Total modeling time was about 45 minutes. You can see in the image from left to right the following: Reference Image - SketchUp pure image - Rendered imagem (SU+Vray)
Is it OK if I post the video com the "tutorials" sections as well even though it's just a sped up footage from a screen capture I did while modeling?
Hope you like it!

Really nice work -
Looks good to me. I'd change the lighting just a little, but it really doesn't affect the accuracy.

Very nice. Such detail! Like the video!

Nice stuff mate, though although the action was speed up you seem to do lots of stuff that could be speed up by ditching the pushpull tool for the scale tool - I work with nearly all primatives and the scale tool. Although as an older bloke my keyboard skills SUCK, I'd normally cut they work down by a quarter I'd think.
Give it a go: primative + scale = fast

Well done!

Nice, but where are the magnets?

Thank you all for the replies! I didn't expect that many people replying back on this topic hehehe. Now to the quotes:

About the rendering I'm not really good at it, just enough to get by! NPR is my weapon of choice, therefore I lack a bit of skills to reach 100% photorealism.@richard said:

Richard, I agree with you! But wouldn't that technique make shapes with no accurate measures? All the push-and-pulls done in this model where carefully made with excat values, just to keep stuff solid and accurate! I do use scale a lot but only with objects that are decorative or that do not have to be 100% real world measurements accurate. -
You can scale to exact measurements, for example, start scaling a 1m cube in one direction and type 367mm and hit enter, the cube will then be 1m,1m,367mm

I did not know that! I'll try it out on the next model I make! Thanks!

That's a "Duh" for me.
Thanks
