Well Pete(If that is your real name ), I think if anything you could be in the money, that was posted to that site today, So chances are he made it after your model. I'll see if I can find any more info about him...

Hiya Folks! I've been using the Soap Bubble Plugin to try and build a speedboat, However, I need a bit of advice with making part of the top section. I'm attempting to make something similar to this boat here:

I've got the hull pretty much the way I want it, But I'm having some trouble working out how to do the Cockpit, I've got a rough side shape for what I'd like it to be, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it applied correctly. Perhaps one of the SketchUp Wizards can help?

Current Hull

I would totally support Google Rulin the world, As it is, Microsoft is doing that(Think how many PCs are running XP and Vista).

Why don't you just download the KMZ to your Computer, and then open it with Vivaty, then save it as a .skp. It seems fair enough to me.

Those are lovely models, You should give Hypershot a try, It's very good for the renders you'd do.

I've tried removing all my plugins, and using the deafult theme, and it's a bit quicker, but still not Chrome Quick.

probably be best to export to .3ds and import it to SketchUp

Has anyone heard of the latest release from Mozilla Labs? They call it Ubiquity.

In Short it's a plugin for Firefox that essentially integrates one web app into another, See here for more info: http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/

I've tried it out, and it seems pretty neat, I've moved most of my work to Chrome, but I think I'll be a 2 browser man now.

Wonderful Render! Where do you find such nice Hdri's for the VW?

I've been having this issue too, and for that reason I'm using Chrome. It just seemed to start all of a sudden.

I suppose this would work in other renderers too wouldn't it?

I think they'd be using the Far Cry Editor, Apparently a similar thing will ship with the Xbox Version.

Oh and Durant, It's not possible to assign UV Maps within Hypershot. You need to do this in the modeller.

Brother Durant, Those Jack UV Maps... Just no can do in Hyperactiveshot... Gotta do it in your Dreamworld Modeller...

Whatever's easiest for you to understand

Irish Weather.

Lack of Progress with career.

Memories of muck ups in life.

Sorry folks, just a bit depressed.

That looks very interesting, no doubt it will cost an absolute fortune.

That last one looks lovely, Very Realistic. And I'm actually quite fond of the fountain.

Lovely looking renders Stefan! Why must you beat me to do the render?

Anyway, would you mind if I still have a shot at it?

I might have a shot at that if you don't mind.

My thoughts exactly, It's really terrible.
