The first is a vibe. All of them are yummy. I think I'll buy you a lawnmower

@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.

@L-i-am Yeah. Nothing fancy. Took me a couple of hours. Getting ready to go wherever I go at the end of June. Need the money. I'll probably use this to get a year's subscription for SU. I went on the monthly plan and now they're going to start charging $100/month for that. [image: 1748240678392-4430-eaton-way-c-resized.jpg]

@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]

My trains folder is almost 81 gb! My UP truck is too shiny. Good enough for who it's for. [image: 1745080025862-gus-robatto-sd45-bn-06-resized.jpg]

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.

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...

Lovely!

All of the above, love 'em.

@ntxdave Memory. This one is basically like your typical tract ranch with gable ends and a center bump-out. That combined with all the details and elevations I've done over the years. I start with an idea in my mind and go from there. Sometimes I'll mull things over in my head while before I go to sleep. I guess you can look at a lot of house pictures. I stick with standard wall heights, roof slopes, windows, roof types, etc.

Stunning work!

That’s some fancy digs.

@Gus-R Do you mind if I download that first image and use it in architectural renders? Not for a while the washing machine has flooded the kitchen, loively.

@marked001 said in Pond House: Really love those first sketchy ones. Is that a sketchup style? Thanks. That's "pen sketch" in D5 Render.

@Rich-O-Brien Sand scale is good enough for who it's for. I was missing the floor in a couple of renderings where you could see the furniture floating in midair that no one noticed.
