I can see a few hours browsing tomorrow, thanks for the heads up.

Yes, exactly. Like in your your place, Ward, mine is also mostly consists of buildings that are attached to each other. There is often a conflict when Google says that the side is not textured (of course, there is another building there) so I don't even care; I use a dummy brick firewall texture to satisfy them. I also have a nice roof texture that would fit on about 80% of the old houses here (I can't use GE imagery because it's rather low res for this and also not taken straight from above). No matter what you use just use photos.

A friend brought this to my attention...this project is used extensively to illustrate some new 3DS Max Design 2010 features in a Youtube video: [flash=480,295:3e3kzyzd]http://www.youtube.com/v/J4tDM0D2BW8&hl=en&fs=1[/flash:3e3kzyzd] The rendered viewport with shadows and lighting (theirlighting--added by someone else in Max, as I certainly didn't plan those down-lights on the sides of the building) is very impressive, and I wish I could justify buying a copy of the program, especially since they are advertising it with my work! They don't mention at any time in the video that I modeled this version of the Stormhouse in something else than 3DS Max, though...an interesting omission! As I noted in the original thread on this project, it has successively has been drawn by hand and modeled in Blender, Rhino, and finally SU 6, and only belatedly imported into Max for rendering.

Works like a charm but it's not that we can name an intuitive prog I believe that only the creator of it knows use it at the perfection But it's a true gem made by an alone guy! A sort of mini Zbrush in fury Just dig in it! Like an adventure game [image: 8Syz_curv.jpg] [image: 81Bz_curvy1.jpg]

Funny and practical when you are at the opposite side of the world without prog! [image: 1964965eac370039.jpg]

Thanks for advices, I'm going to experience them MALAISE

.... this one I think, 6) Video on a SketchUp face using textured material-June-2008* Has anyone tried it out? Mike

I thought all YouTubes were UK YouTubes? Shows how much I know. I don't think Google did announce they were available - or at least they haven't at any of the blogs that I frequent (yet): Here: http://sketchupdate.blogspot.com/ and here: http://sketchupapi.blogspot.com/ Todd

Nice stuff, amy i ask how you did the people in the stadium? Cool church as well, the roof looks pretty interesting.

I Have made a compare test upon various softs to establish the better way to make tutorials Here:How can i record a video tutorial for YouTube ;-)simonlebon

The answer is simple really, most folk that bought the professional version were indeed using it in a professional capacity and in doing so their workflow would probably require exporting and importing over several other apps in order to deliver the final product. I cannot comment about the Layout feature as I have never had the patience to deal with it and it never yielded anything productive in my hands.

we can always hope!
