I've been enjoying SU2026.

Thanks Mike... Upper level. It's evolving. [image: 1759200632370-gus-robatto-interior-stuff-03-resized.jpg] [image: 1759200567973-gus-robatto-interior-stuff-04-resized.jpg]

@Gus-R Thanks for the explanation, looks great.

I do not have a smart phone, it matches me for stoopid and I use it as a phone only. I am sure there are folk here with a Whyphone who can describe the process. I found this with a brief search. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iph864a938de/ios

Very nice work Gus

Bloody good mate.

@L-i-am @Mike-Amos If you all stop engaging then it stops. Please and thank you.

My computer died again. It's either the motherboard or the CPU. I have the previous CPU. Might be the motherboard.

@majid Thanks Majid. Facebook banned me for a couple of hours because I was liking too many posts and too fast. I had to submit yet another video selfie. I've slowed down since.

In any event most of my work is drafting and little involves rendering jobs. I unsubscribed from Upwork Plus and raised my base rate back to what a freelance drafter with my experience should earn in the USA and not unskilled labor wages. That would be $50/hour. Here's a link to my Facebook professional page which is going nowhere even when I pay for an ad to run for a week. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578027453574

@Gus-R said in Beach House: Anyone going to render this? ???

Closest I came to that was putting books etc in my folks shed/locker. Mind you, the ol' mum did phone and ask if I had read the books. "Good". "WHY"? "I gave them all to the charity shop, but at least you have read them". Some of those reference books were in the £200 range when I bought them........

you can convert SketchUp's SKP files to Blender. You can either use the built-in SKP importer in Blender or export the model from SketchUp in a compatible format like Collada (DAE), OBJ, or FBX, then import that into Blender.

Wow! Excellent work!

Thanks Mike and Rich. I did this version pretty quick. I have a lot of spare parts. I'm settled on a weathered look and tall grass for most everything. Was tinkering with it some more and finding small things to fix or change. [image: 1745464475333-gus-robatto-conrail-sd45-resized.jpg]

Thanks guys. Matisse would work but I was thinking Bierstadt.

Hey Gus, nice indeed mate. I wonder what it would look like with https://fotosketcher.com/

When you posted this did a bolt of lighting hit close to you?[image: 1747622795465-sign.png]

@Bryan-K Thanks. Beehive as in neighbors that manage to be loud even with concrete floors? Slamming doors. Slamming kitchen cabinets. Dropping 100 lbs objects on the floor. Kicking a soccer ball against a party wall. Setting off fireworks from the balcony. Constantly partying. Skate boarding in the apartment...
