Amazing work as usual mate, your patience to do all of this is excellent. Quick question, is most of your halo animation work from imagination? What I mean is this, obviously not a lot of the objects have been created by bungie themselves, so do you get plans from other people off of the internet, or do you essentially create the object yourself. For example, the mobile repair yard has no actual graphical representation as far as I am aware, so did you design this yourself from the books?

Just something I put together with sketchyphysics:

Just thought I'd put this out there as there isn't one on here AFAIK.
Anyways, a couple to get started:

1. When you know more people in sketchup than you do in real life

2. When you complain about google changing the warehouse layout

3. If you get sad over a 1 star rating

4. When most of your childhood consisted of sketchup

5. When you have more plugins than you have actual tools

Feel free to add your own!

looks good, but i nfuture dont' make the renders so large. quick question, this is gonna make me seem such a noob but what the hell in a HDRi? I kow it stands for high dynamic range imaging or something liek that, but i have no idea what it actually is or what it does.

looks good but the front of the hull needs much more detail, and the wash needs work

yay thank you for making the infinite plane, I thought you would forget. I'm not that worried about this release, since as I understand the joints will all be the same, and all the aspects of sketchyphysics will still be there, but with multicore support.

No idea really, the static looks ok atm but it could probably be worked on a bit given time. The sp is almost fully functional, I'm waiting on a fix for the Blast function, then I can complete it.

Been working on a chieftain main battle tank, the one in the last post. Heres my work so far:

Well I'm back, cadet camp was good, I'll be going on su as soon as I'm back on my feet properly. For now though, here are a couple of pics of my various adventures

Here are a couple of pictures from RAF Brize norton, the UK's main base for getting troops and equipment from the UK to afghanistan.

And these are from the war and peace show, this was actually a couple of days before the camp:

Well I won't be on for the next week, going to RAF Halton for my last ever summer camp Well tbh I have no doubt that when I come back it will be on the 3rd or 4th page of the gallery, so you lot probably won't notice I'm gone, have fun with all the buildings and other stuff.

you do realise the posting date on this? he fixed this ages ago, 2 years to be precise. how many pages did you have to crawl through to find a problem you knew how to solve?

Thanks, I'll take a look after posting this. This is my attempt, using kerky rendering with GIMP to stitch it all together:

K thanks, I have now got it and have made what kinda resembles liam's ships, I will post the results tonight

uhh I can get it, will that help?

Another pic, been "slimming" it a little bit.

I wanna try working on my presentation of wip's. I've seen other wip topics like liam887's where each image looks like some sort of technical art. Obviously he is a better modeller as me, but the way he present models also helps, so I will be working on that.

the physical joint will, but the mechanics of it won't

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

there you go mate, in theory that should work, but chris has changed so much and not really documented it so that i don't really know if that's the latest version

lol it is free you know, and has pc and mac support

Liam, using someone elses model is all good uner normal circumstances, but the quality of the mesh is so high that it crashes mty pc whenever I open it on this computer.

First pic of the blackhawk is here

And now a wip model, all the controls are in there thanks to a handy bit of scripting

blackhawk1.skp

By the end of the day I'll be in possession of the blackhawk, so pictures of that are coming. For now though, heres another pic of the red arrows in action:
