Great movie, and great modeling, hellnbak. Do you plan on rendering her?

Very nice, Majid. To convey scale, you could add an outside chair, maybe placed close or on top one of the stone terraces on the right, to illustrate they are not steps.

Beautiful modeling, Jim.

Not something you'd want to use 'au naturale'

Is there really any chair, except perhaps one in a shower, that you would want anyone to use 'au naturale'? At least glass is easily cleaned.

would love to see it animated

now model/render 'em broken!

very photorealistic.

Looks great, Richard.

Thanks, sketchgirl1. I went to school before the advent of computers, when everything was done by hand - lots of rendered elevations. So I am partial to that format.

Good start, but a few things to consider.

1. As already mentioned, it's out of focus.
2. To make it look more natural, move the chairs slightly, so they aren't all perfectly lined up.
3. The separations between your doors and the transom above have disappeared. Probably because they were touching or separated just by a line, which would disappear in a rendering program. You have to either model these elements with a gap (and it helps to make the edges a darker color), or use textures that emphasize the edges.

Finish it next until next year! I'd really like to see you acomplishing it!

Haha. I hear ya! But sometimes I have real work (and life in general) that intrudes on my recreational Sketchupping.

thanks pbacot and Bryan

thanks, Gareth

great job, myren8t

Can't believe it's been more than a year since I worked on this. Added the columns on the west. The Corinthian capital is from BruceW's column, but the shaft and base are by me.

Well, I'm gobsmacked by your finial, Dave.

fantastic job, cotty.

I agree with the Kraken Wrangler; technically a good rendering, but composition-wise it's too crowded.

It reminds me of Wright's block houses.
The alignment of the horizontal joints on the material is inconsistent. On the right hand side they align with the building's forms, but about the center of the building it makes a slight vertical shift. But overall, I think it is a pleasant concept.
