Thanks Pilou! but....

and that's where I am struggling...

To all the Sketchup gurus,
I am stumped at modelling this wonderful sculptural lamp piece from Ross Lovegrove!

I am attaching a SKP as well for someone to try out...

Who here has experience of Blender with the BlenderBIM add-on? It looks like architectural CD's is quite possible with it.

I am quite interested too in this! by the looks of it, it is in its infancy but a lot of progress is being made. something to keep our eyes open to.
and if anyone is interested, the community is >>>HERE<<< for feedbacks and any contributions.
but first things first.... how to model in blender3d?
does anyone have any experience in any of those Udemy courses for blender? or any other course geared towards modeling accurately in blender3d for that matter?

The infamous clipping plane issue :

hi Jan,
Sorry to hear about the job loss. i sincerely hope something turns out soon for you! you are a real talented guy and an inspiration!
love the style of illustration.. i hope that 3rd image is not really something that happened in real life!

...but when I'm having fun with a model I just can't seem to back off. And I did learn a LOT about my mower while researching everything....

I can totally understand this... glad to know that I am not the only one!
cool project though! keep us posted here!

one word : Bellisima!

I tried looking for the model at the link provided, but it seems to have been removed?

Yes.. Paul had removed it a couple of years ago... Maybe he can upload it again somewhere? Or if he's OK with it, I could upload the model and share it here.

@ NTXDave : Your PDf seems to be heading in the right direction. Maybe a few step by step points would be helpful for the plugin in its current state? Many folks wouldnt have the time on their hands to find out where certain things are right now in the Bella interface.

Thank you sir. I am a new user also and am working on it a little bit at a time. I have added some more but at the rate I am going, it is going to take a little time. I am possibly thinking it might be better with 2 documents. One being a basic definition of things (like the one I am working on) and a 2nd one that is a little more like a tutorial(s). In that case, I would need some better models or suggestions of things to illustrate.

Hi Dave, please check PM.

A few more with some trees from the skatter plugin... i couldnt get the grass in (sketchup couldnt handle the raw geometry)

I love the quality of renders coming out of Bella and i am really excited to see where you take the plugin next! hopefully we can get an integrated plugin in the near future!

Jeremy, In the bella forum, i have posted a few points for your consideration.

Hi Jeremy!
I posted in the Bella forums but cannot seem to see the post for some reason...

anyways...

I downloaded the plugin and this happened :


I gotta be honest here... i did struggle a bit with navigation to get the right view and there were a few other things like saving the image (without entering the name it would overwrite the old image etc), and finding all the options in menus and submenus was kind of a pain.. i know this is not the final plugin but getting it to work for us common folk requires some extra patience!
BUT.. i love the quality of light i am getting from the render. The image resolutions does not do justice to the renders here.
i am looking forward to the updates and will definitely give this another spin in the future!

beautiful! thanks for sharing the update!
have you used started using any game engine yet for the project?

Coming back to the OP, I find Blender3D to be really capable. But unless there is an add on like VisualARQ for Rhino or Layout for SU, I wouldn't consider B3D as an overall package for Architectural work.

THIS

I might be missing the point, but Justin's face comes up in the introduction only in his videos. Once the tutorial starts, it's only his voice.

I'd be more impressed if this fellow would have NOT felt the need to have himself in the video (a stupid trend imho) covering up his "bullet points". I mean why do we NEED to see him talking when we can hear him just fine?

I don't think the speaker had anything to do with that video. It was edited and put up by blender corporation themselves. They would have given it to some company who would most likely be not remotely related to what's going on at the conference in the first place.

i see you have started the migration towards Enscape from Thea!

@ntxdave... I have noticed this too... Quite sad.

Hi Dave. Yes I am aware of that issue. However I couldn't find what exactly caused the infringement. Is it the code used? Or the method of solving or the UI? Because without knowing what exactly caused the infringement, how can a work around be found? I am no plugin developer nor code writer, so maybe what I said is just utter nonsense.

Too bad none of the ruby gurus want to take a jab at reviving this plugin... Seems to be quite popular.
