3d warehouse model.. render in KT

jenujacob

hi guys...
really nice to be here in this great place... i was lurking the old SU forum.. (or whatever that was left of it... for old times sake ) and came across this really awesome model http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=9cc583c0f5ab5446817a5669f354365d&prevstart=24 created by Dandis... saw a nice cheetah render http://forum.sketchup.com/showthread.php?p=558945#post558945, got inspired and ran it thru KT...
a 3 mins 21 sec render.. no post pro..

Hi, I also saw that render. This is a really impressive one, too. Thanks!

jenujacob

actually... kudos goes to dandis.. whats really impressive is the texturing that has been gone into this model... its like... half the work has already been done... i just imported the models in to KT and she did the rest!

I saw that model also in the GSU forum and
agree that it was well done.

I noticed also that the render was produced
using Cheetah 4.2. I d/l this program and
checked it out (Mac only).

I was pleasantly surprised to see that it
supports the 3D Connexion devices. I think
this could make a huge difference to me in
getting to grips with a rendered as I'm so
used to free orbiting ..... maybe it does
not make much sense ..... but thats the way
of things ...... every program has to have a
free orbiting function these days. I think
its an after effect of SketchUp

Render looks great jacob.

Looking at the guys other work who created the model, I must say I am pretty impressed. He has a very good understanding of using textures in SU.

I agree whole-heartedly...his use of photo textures is amazing. I downloaded several to study...thanks for the heads-up jj!

Great render too! of this sweet subject. I tried a DWC on same and was pleased with it: hope you don't mind me posting it here.
Best, Tom.

jj,
don't know how I missed your post Monday (finding sometime "view new posts" doesn't get them all...?) my bad. Yes, I have...rediscovered the link on my desktop clutter a couple of weeks ago (probably got it from you on that other forum...?) and thanks for reminding me! I yesterday started playing around with an aerial photomatch that will be quick turnaround when the building gets designed and maybe the underpainting idea might be perfect!
Best, Tom.
