this is indeed something else ... very lekker

God - its amazing

How long have you been working on this model already ?

waw - thanks a lot man

based on advice of some members, i fooled around with PS a little bit and got a nice effect

Here is a picture of me in my kitchen before we started renovating

Please don't mind the mess

There is not much detail left unfortunately

We are busy removing all of the equipment so that we can start renovating the kitchen

I will start an experiment with Kerkythea on this project

I want to make it look "real"

This is the 2nd design i've made using SketchUp

It shows my own kitchen (nothing much exciting, but its a start)

Here you only see 2 walls - for layout purposes

It still needs some details - but i do have the impression that the "real" factor is missing ... any ideas ?

Your other comments on it are also highly appreciated - i'm here to learn from my mistakes

Thank you very much

your opinion is highly appreciated

But what i did not make clear enough - this is a house that has been designed by a architect, that we purchased at a local real estate agency.

The only "info" they had were the blueprints .. and thats it ... so i just amused myself creating a 3D image

So roof - windows - ... its wasn't really our choice ..

Gutters - very good remark - they aren't marked on the blueprints we have, but im sure somebody will have them

Thanks juju

was off for a day due to some technical issues but im back now

Wasn't this topic longer ?

anyway - im now also experimenting with the animation function - and try to get it into a animated GIF ...

Compared to what some people post here - my second project is very moderate - but lets share it anyway

This is a house we will start building in the future (after new year that is)

I'm currently working on a detail of each and every room, so that we will have a complete idea on fitting of the kitchen, bathroom, ...

I have used the trick with photoshop to get that effect, when i'm really up to it, i will try "rendering" it (first attempts resulted in something terrible)

Comments would be appreciated

Fantastic level of detail

i'm very keen on the style you are using

Gives it a genuine yet artistic touch !

Hi guys

could somebody explain to me the way the photomatch works ?

I have tried it using the manual that SU offers - but it results in me having chaos with lines ... and nothing usefull ...

So if somebody has some screenshots of HOW to position the lines ... that would be super

thanks a lot guys

Ok - thanks a lot guys - i remembered that i used that feature in the past in a soft ... but i forgot what soft it was ...

I don't know if i missed this in the manual for SketchUp ... if so - my appologies that im wasting everybodies time with my question.

As you all know by now, SketchUp is my addiction - it is so bad that, if i see something, i immediately start wondering if i can make it in SU.

To improve my skills, it would be handy to have multiple accounts per project.

Fe - we start a new project, i login with my account, start drawing ...... a better and more skilled artist logs in with his account ... corrects and improves where needed.
That way - i can see the difference ... and he can tell me how to correct the mistakes i made.

So is this possible ? Does it come with SU ? Do i need to install something extra ? Or is it simply impossible ?

oops

sorry - im just getting used to this forum - so i haven't really made the switch to the new one yet ..

Yep - so now i have kerky - but i can't use it with SketchUp ... so does anybody have those plugins somewhere ?

Can they upload it for me ?

I was looking to download the export plugins for Sketchup and Kerkythea .. but it seems that their site is unaccessible.

Any external links available to download those plugins ?

The photoshop trick gives me a real good effect there

now lets get back to the render-thing ...
