‘Every year again’ Merry Christmas to All of You here! !

...and works so well now!! Thanks Tig!

...thanks to you Both for checking this

Hi everyone—does anyone know if this plugin also works somehow on SU 2025? Unfortunately, I can't get it to work.

Thanks, Jo-Ke – these squares are light fixtures from Enscape – in this case, a rectangular type – which actually generates and emits light, while the visible ceiling light only pretends to provide light.

@Rich-O-Brien said in A Car Park (again!):

very sharp. The presentation style on #2 I love. So clean

... Thans Rich, by #2, you probably mean the floor plan excerpt. Thank you for your compliment. I've just realised that I've been using the same light fixture component unchanged in all these building types since Enscape was launched
So this section reveals at least two possibly useful pieces of information: 1. how lazy I am, and 2. that you need just as many light fixtures as you would need real lamps screwed into the ceiling to illuminate such a thing properly .

@Mike-Amos said in A Car Park (again!):

mundane

This is actually the first time I've come across the word ‘mundane’ in your comment, and if my translator is right, it really does apply – everything there is indeed ‘mundane’! But these things come as easily to me as sausages to a butcher. No problems, quick progress, and everyone's happy in the end.
I'm very pleased with your comment. Tanks!

Hi All
I don't even know how many car parks I've posted here over the years – so, here we go again
I love this particular task – the scenes are always clearly defined, naturally limited by the outer walls. This almost reduces the effort to zero in most cases for the often very tedious task of creating scenic backgrounds. As a rule, these types of buildings are very similar. So if you have a certain repertoire of the components and assets typically required here, and if there is also a certain and usually given building grid, you can make rapid progress, regardless of whether there are only 300 parking spaces or 3000.
Nowadays, I focus only on specific features of each project, such as the nature of the entry and exit car ramps or the special drive-in or drive-out situations, but no longer on the actual size of the facility.

Thanks Bryan – I used the same pattern as above to create my this year Christmas doodle.

Thanks - it´s Enscape

Hi All

It's incredible that an absurdly high number of distributions of one single PNG component, created with wonderful parametric plugins, ultimately resulted in what I think is a rather attractive Advent Wreath.

Yes, it's still a bit early for Christmas decorations, but since I'm going to a very nice St. Martin's market near me today, which somehow marks the start of Advent for me, I'm taking this as an opportunity to post this as my obligatory Christmas doodle this year.

Best!

@panixia Wunderbar! – such a beautiful model is a must-have at the moment

I am always so delighted when this thread appears!
With this machine, I would immediately set off on my next holiday trip, even though I would still have to practise that diabolical laughter!
In the event of a traffic jam on the Autobahn, EVERYONE would immediately form an emergency lane out of sheer awe for this thing!!!

... More please.

Thanks and please be patient Mike-Amos
I already have another example (based on this work) up my sleeve I will of course post it here in roughly 9 weeks

Mike Amos, I think I saw that very same television report, and it was full of so impressive images!

No, I understand exactly what you're saying, and you're not "dampening" (does this word exist in English?) the topic at all. A specialist seminar at the beginning of this year, which I assumed would put this topic on a holy throne, dealt with it in a very critical and reflective manner.
I myself also doubt that greening facades is the key to a better urban climate and consider it more of a niche solution that is only appropriate in certain places.
I live in Frankfurt and have observed the efforts being made there to remove sealing materials from large squares and even streets and replace them with green spaces and tree plantings. Even then, I often thought beforehand, ‘What's this going to be like?’ but it actually got better. All in all, I think that a lot of trial and error is going on at the moment – which is better than not trying anything at all. Even if something goes wrong, you have gained knowledge and experience.

I am very pleased about all these contributions and comments – especially since this topic started with an amateurish attempt to model and visualise a green wall system in SketchUp

Hi
Somehow, this topic (related to SketchUp, of course) also seems to fit here for me and at least, I hope so — so I'll take a look at it tonight.

@HornOxx
This is one work by Patrick

Wow !!! I recognize the picture without knowing who created it.
And what a great piece of work by him—not just green for its own green sake, but truly artistic.

I love your funny and true saying "the lesser evil of the two" !

(by the way, do these smiley emojis here only look so silly only to me or to everyone?)

Thank you L i am for your input on this topic!
As you can imagine, I'm not exactly an expert on this subject myself although I now attend seminars on the subject.
I was simply trying to find a practical way to present this particular system based on SkUp somehow.
In fact, I am now aware and also realize that the system shown here is very limited due to its nature - in terms of the planting method and the associated greening/shading ratio and, ultimately, also in terms of statics.
Since I am of course very interested in the topic, I welcome your and everyone else's input on the green wall topic here. Both in terms of real systems and experiences, as well as your implementation approaches within SkUp.

Best!

Hi!
Thank you all for your nice comments, and I am glad you enjoyed this.
I am adding a small picture impression of the production process. In addition, I also wrote a small sloppy and imperfect ruby (rb) plugin that allows selected components to “float” within a self-defined range at random Z heights. Similar to a deck of cards thrown on the floor. To prevent the PNGs (the cards ) from interfering with each other, each PNG must have its own determined random height in cases where these cold be coplanar with any other to avoid any coplanar glitching issues...
