Dave,

Playing with Greeble. How did you get the originating grid in order to use Greeble? Having a tough time getting there...

One example with ThrowTo plugin...

I would try the plugin ThruPaint (Fredo6, part of FredoTools) for this task and/or SketchUV from Whaat.

Fredo don't ask for it, but you can always donate via Paypal, you will find a link in the plugin menu structure...

So if you are wondering why I'm not around too much.....

Let's hope you're not the person on the right

Impressive project, I'm looking forward to updates here!

You can add a layer that is invisible in all other scenes with e.g.:

Or you can have a look at VisMap2 for a more advanced control (haven't tested it):

I do prefer ultra-clean...

I recommend to enable Remove Duplicate Face only when you know there is an issue. It's extremely slow and not always reliable.

Thank you for the tip!

With a view like that, I'd want bigger windows.

Maybe the windows are flat TVs...

I've got a lot of unresolved problems while opening the model, the cleanup afterwards leads to this...

Nice!

Nice models!

I copied the plug in from there and pasted into 2016, and all works fine.

You shouldn't do that because there may be incompatibilities between different versions and it's always better to download a fresh and up-to-date version of plugins. (This time you were lucky because 6.0 is the current version in the Pluginstore: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Mirror )

(TIG was faster, but for me the answer was more work, so here it is.)

Have you ever printed one of your images at a really big size? It must look even more impressive then... (if this is possible)

You can use the quadfacetools (Thomthom) to control the quads...

Great! (But weren't they black? )

You can see the difference in this animation...

I've followed both your questions but I'm not sure that I've understood it correct...

You turn on shadows with this button (as always)?!

Here's a nice explanation from Wo3dan about "sun for shading":

"With shadows on you won't see the difference.
With shadows off you may notice the difference by how your geometry is receiving light: Either the sun or the camera light is used. If you have the sun directly behind the camera, the differens will hardly be noticed

p.s. if shadows is on you'll use sun for shading anyway."

I've started a similar discussion some years ago here, but don't remember the result (if there was one?)...:

Or with Fredos VisuHole...

Its from Minotti - they also have the file in Obj format what ever that is?. I see you draw a construction line on the bounding box to allow easy rotating.

Cheers!

No, he doesn't, it's the helping line (0° reference) from the rotation tool.
