      As I begin to learn this software, I begin to realize how fun it can be, how it allows me to quickly jot down ideas and develop them easily. I find myself designing rather than trying to figure out how to define geometry.

      Not that I'm very good at it, but I can see a little improvement from the beginning of this (rather lengthy) thread.

      Happy Sketching,

      Brad

          Thanks remus - I love that Lamborghini - is it art or car? Who cares, gorgeous, eh?

          These three images show how I'm playing around with some quick shapes on front & so forth . . . originally, I wanted to tie the front and rear together with a similar, "rough chisel" theme . . . didn't work out very well but I enjoyed the attempt . . . on to the next one . . .

          Happy Sketching,

          Brad

              . . . one could call this a "chiseling" technique (quite different from the way geometry is defined and edited using the video tutorials I posted a couple months ago) . . . this technique is very fast and easily provides extreme "what if" exploration of shapes, proportions, blah, blah, blah . . .

                    . . . a little more detail on the sides - I need to go back and fix this - too sharp around the edges . . . what a cheesy background . . .

                            . . . I just had to try something different . . . which illustrates clearly that different does not always equal aesthetically pleasing . . . 🀷 . . .

                                The guys at GM should remove their blindfolds before approving a design. What were they thinking? Didn't finish rehab?

                                  Personally i think the entire concept of a convertible truck is pretty flawed πŸ˜‰ They should produce more of your designs brad πŸ‘

                                    Thank you Remus.

                                    In my opinion, a good, complete design involves being able to see the car from any angle while still maintaining visual interest. At best, I usually only get halfway there . . . okay, maybe only 25% . . . but, I'm all about having fun, which is why I continue . . .

                                    Happy Sketching,

                                      I love to hear that people are having fun with SketchUp! I look at it the same way!! If you can't make something fun, why do it? πŸ˜‰ That's why SketchUp was designed the way it is!

                                        I guess it's like when you go fishing - sometimes you get a fish, other times you're just out there, enjoying nature. This one is no catch . . . someone should write a ruby script that allows you to pick an icon that looks like a demolition switch - when selected, you see your model destroyed while hearing the sound of broken glass . . . I'd use that option for this model if it was available . . . (ha) . . .

                                            I don't remember ever doing a hearse . . . not sure this would be a popular color with hearses . . . maybe for a festive funeral . . . if there ever was such a thing . . . I better change the color . . .
