Hey, guys!
I just finishes modelling these two Benches with Futon-type cushions. You can download and use it for free wherever and whenever you want!

Hope you guys like it! Has enough geomatry and s small file size.

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

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

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

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

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
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.

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!

Nice image! It seems that the bump no the flor material is inverted. I got the feelings that the mortars are higher than the tiles.

No, I did use the move/drag function from hugin for the correction. I don't use Photoshop for this.

Thanks for sharing! I'll sure take a look into that software! See you!

@cotty said:

I don't know Vray, so I'm not able to say anything about the reason.
But I am using the software hugin to stitch my panorama photos, maybe you can use your Vray-output with it?

Hey again!
What I meant is that I am curious to know how you straighten the wall corner lines on my already rendered image. You probably fixed it on Photoshop, right? How did you do it?

@cotty said:

Nice panoramas!
I would suggest that you ensure that the vertical lines are vertical in the equirectangular images so that the horizon has no waves during the rotation of the panorama.

Like this...

I noticed that error and the weird results on the first panorama. I just wasn't sure how would I fix that on PS or even better, I couldn't figure out why the the straight image from Vray was generated like that. Can you give me any advices on what Tool to use on Photoshop to fix that like you just did?

Thanks in advance and thanks for commenting!

Hey there! I'm here to share with you my latest two Interactive Panoramas. Here are the 2 images used to generate the Interactive final product. I used SketchUp, Vray for Sketchup and Photoshop to generate these images.
Since I cant embed te flash (.swf) final files here I'll leave you to the links on my blog that had the final panoramas embeded.
Coments and critics are always welcome. See you soon!

Wow, impressive!
I'd love to see what would happen if you manage to slap some color in there!

Again, very nice way to represent and ideia. Keep up the good work!
Cheers
