This is almost becoming a series of mine. Design is from 1921.

Denver Architecture II
I think I might finally make some money off this never ending project. I contributed to the design of the house. The garage is just a relatively simple structure. I would have done something with parapets to match the house. This was rendered in D5 Render.

Snowman
Sketchup, Blender, D5 Sync to D5 Render. The snow is generated with a free Blender plugin. It's too heavy for Sketchup so I directly import it through Blender to D5. There's a mountain back there but I'm still playing around with D5 2.9's new terrain feature.

Office Remodel
Nothing fancy. This is a before and after of a simple office remodel to add glass walls and doors. I made the glass walls using Profile Builder 3. I laid out the existing floor plan using matched photo. Was up all morning. Took a day. The architect really likes it. Rendered in D5 Render.

EMD SD45 - Union Pacific
Here's the latest. Still a WIP but I'm getting close to finishing. This is modeled with SU 2022 Pro and rendered in D5 Render.

Florida House
A paying job! Imagine that. This is designed by a firm I've done renderings for in the past. It's typically my one contact there and the owner. This house is 4 blocks from the Panhandle shore.Comes with a golf cart garage.

Design 703B - Another House
Another house. Work in progress. Finished up the model and material set-up this morning and whipped up a scene.

Re-Render
Grabbed a mode from 10-11 years ago and re-rendered it in D5 Render. They already built this. I also did color elevations for planning commission meetings. This is the clubhouse and pool area for a multi-family development in Parker, Colorado.

RE: 70 ton Freight Truck/Bogie
@Mike-Amos Put together a quick scene and rendered with some rusty metal I slapped together using Quixel.Mixer.

The Watier
The Watier from Bungalow Homes and Cottages by National Plan Service, Inc. 1935. I dolled it up a bit.
This is what I worked from. Took less than 24 hours. Rendered in 8K and scaled down.

Fender Stratocaster Rendered in D5 Render
Here's my Fender Stratocaster rendered in D5 Render. It wasn't too difficult to convert to D5 materials and a lighting set-up. This was first rendered in Kerkythea, then Thea Render and here in D5 Render.

RE: Denver Architecture II
Added some Icicles and nudged up the saturation. Did some snow modifications. Sometimes D5's scatter will change the placement of trees upon regeneration.

RE: New Sketchup 2025 glimpse.
@L-i-am Hopefully they'll retain a consistent UI with 2025. I have no interest in the collaborative and AI features. I'll stick with my SU and D5 Render workflow.
The key will be if SU retains its usefulness as a modeling software including the operability of plugins. I'd like to provide them input but I think it would go in one ear and out the other.
I'd be happy if they left SU 2022 Pro alone but they're going to end geo location and 3D Warehouse features for "security reasons." I don't really use those much. Eventually I can see a complete "end of life" for 2022.
If they left SU 2025 pretty much as it is with 2024 and just fixed the icons I'd be content.
