          Hi Stuart,

          I bought the book and read / viewed on my iPad. I was fascinated with your use of SketchUp for the artwork, well done. I have also posted a 5 star review.

          Mike

              You're welcome Stuart. I'm looking forward to reading the story to my grandson for Christmas. Keep us posted of the development of the next book. I imagine there will be great interest in the graphics here.

                Thanks again Mike, for the nice comments! I hope your grandson likes it.

                I sometimes start with sketchup and kerkythea to get the models right and then photoshop some mood on them.

                Others like the golden bridge use a bridge I designed (not gold!) and I try to improve it...

                Thanks!

                    These are awesome. Very good use of SketchUp and art style for children's books. πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                    Have a great day!

                      Thanks! I don't think I'm close to your level of Art/sketchup but I'm trying!
                      (I'm always amazed how you get so much detail in your work with so few triangles.)

                      Thanks again!

                        Hello, I have started on my next book and I thought I would post the opening pages. (since I don't make any money on these things...hopefully someday.)

                        The current books are here for free download.

                        http://www.bridgerobots.com

                        The new book with a working title of "The Curse of the Golden bridge" is located here.

                        http://www.bridgerobots.com/books/Book%20four%20files.pdf

                        The books online are pdf files and the best way to view them is full screen or ideally on an ipad. (The books are made for ipads.)

                        If you like them buy a book from amazon (links on website) and that will pay for a coffee for me. (Yay!)

                        Let me know what you think!
