@marked001 The bad guys in the Streets of San Francisco and Rockford Files always played tennis.

@Rich-O-Brien

@Gus-R Oh wait. That's not a free version. $249/year.

Nanocad looks interesting. It even has a command line. I'm still using what's basically Autocad 2000. I used to dabble with Turbocad which seemed pretty good but I used that mostly for converting files down to 2000. It's about $75-90 now. Not a subscription.

@marked001 Is that a Steele Eagle frame? Are they even still around?

Thanks Mike, Majid, Tuna, Bryan.

If only I could get some work with these renderings. Maybe if I move to Laos or Cambodia? I could use the change.

I used Twilight Render for a while there. Right after Kerkythea. It was a good learning period. I started out with rendering kind of late in my life. Or career. I one can call it a career.

There goes the neighborhood!

I mowed the lawn. Sort of. I prefer the overgrowth.

Thanks guys.

The pen sketch is from D5 Render post effect "Pen Sketch." The house is Sketchup. Landscaping is D5 assets. The house design is something I came up with straight in Sketchup.

Pen sketch is generated from an ambient occlusion render. All black, white and grey pre effect.

More stuff:

Watched a documentary about unknown Florida and saw something that caught my interest. Simple design. Unfortunately beyond the reach of ordinary Americans.

@Gus-R Never mind.

I don't know what I changed but I'm suddenly getting like beveled offset when using Joint Push Pull. Just the regular Joint Push Pull.

@Mike-Amos I actually did a "what's that?" when I first saw "the banana" on the floor.

Nothing to do no where to go oh.

@Rich-O-Brien Groovy, man. Nice. How did you make the tassels?

@L-i-am I saw something like that font when I did a quick search for 50s and 60s fonts. Timberwolf regular?

We're expanding!

Plastic models used to be all the rage back when I was a kid. I sort of lost track in my 20s. But back when there were hobby shops as well as departments stores and even drugs stores that would sell plastic model kits.

Monogram and Revell kits were the most popular. Especially car models. They would also sell model paint and glue which was usually Testors. 3 bucks or 5 bucks for a kit. Which of course when you're a kid that was usually above your budget unless you go begging your dad for a couple of dollars.

RC models are still rather popular. Model railroading was also another trend back when. Lionel 0 gauge trains are very pricey. The RC stuff you'd have to go to a hobby shop but they used to sell model railroading gear in department stores as well.

Trends change I guess. Building things is no longer popular. Even back then your dad might have gotten into Heathkit to learn electronics. We'd build go-karts out of scrap wood and metal parts your dad might have been hoarding.

Thanks Mike, Rich.

That's the original Sketchup EMD SD-45 model which I imported into D5 and exported as an asset.

Did some mods.
