Thank you, just bought it!
Will you send us the plugin? Havent received anything on our email...Still just the free version on my sketchup

very very very impressive!!!

For that price it's an amazing renderer!

Very good images mate.
Well done!

Nice work!

I'm a novice trying to render my street. How did you get the scale nailed down? Did you have access to planning documents or did you just use the ruler in Google Earth to approximate everything?

Hi Mamer,

What i did is, got some CAD plans from planning, then worked from that

Nice work Oli

I like the glass on the last image!

Thanks kevsterman

It is existing, but the whole street will be refurbished

Here are some existing pictures. You will see they have already started building the School in the background of the 1st pic....

Laters!

Absolutely amazing! If it wasn't for the clay models I would swear it they were photos. Amazing work!

What was the reason for modelling this street? Is it an existing street or is it all made up?

Hi Jopsa2: I just looked and without the plants it comes to 3995564 poligons......yeah so almost 4 million.

The lines was modelled separately and yes the tarmac is one big texture i painted in Photoshop.

Hope this helps.

wohww! Thanks for the replies guys!

Ok,

Artysmedia: Not sure, i have to look when my machine stopped rendering, but it is alot. I had to use proxies for all planting as this scene crashes instantly without it.... Rendered on a 8core machine,8 gig ram which was nessesary!
Not sure what you mean by your 2nd question?

D-space & spdesign: I chose the workflow of SU to C4D above max because it is so easy.
I learned max and I was quite frustrated when I saw the different workflow between the 2....Max is waaaayy to complicated. So here you can also see what is the best way to export your model to Cinema 4D: http://www.vrayforc4d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5426&highlight=export+sketchup+model

Dale: I modelled all the different buildings on their own separate file, then the street with all the bits & pieces on ones file, then on the big file, I've imported all the models together....
I definitely used components.
What is very very important is to work on different layers, because it makes the exporting part easy and also good to work with.... I always layer my stuff in the correct layers so that my workflow is ultimately faster. Neglecting layering it, makes it hardly unbearable. I did ask somebody once to help me model, but because he did not really use layers I had to re-model everything.
I also group objects alot. That makes the texturing bit very easy.

So i don't have any plants in Sketch-up, but i use proxies in Cinema 4D.

hope this helps!
Feel free to ask, I'll be happy to help.

Cheers

Hi guys,

This is my latest project I've finished. All modelled in Sketch-up, except the cars and trees.
I had to model the whole street, all new tarmac,paving,lines,lights,buildings etc etc, so it was ALOT of work.

It took about 2.5 weeks to model it all up and a few days to texture, then the renderings was quite a challenge because of the many poly's, but in the end I got it rendered

Detailed in Cinema 4D & Rendered in VrayforC4D.

Comments and crits are welcome!

cheers
