Everything is fantastic!

Forgive me, when I upload a render, what I want is that people tell me what mistakes I have done. I don't want congratulations and things like that, and I forgive to say it to the people.

But is going to be one of the more visited models of 3D Warehouse. Congratulations

You must inform the owner of the group of UNESCO sites to add your model:

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

(sketchup.google.com)

It's one of the most interesting collections I have seen in 3D Warehouse.

don't worry, it's good you criticized that arch, so i know i'll have to edit it (even though it's not a funny thing )
about the unesco thing...why not? but first i have to modify that arch.

Julius, the first arc I "visited":

I believe that it is a mistake...

unfortunately not...i know that arch looks wierd, but i didn't know how to do to make it looks good. maybe i will have to draw it again. apart from that, everything is fine?

too bad i don't visit the ruby forum...i found a link to this topic in the Kerkythea forum.

anyway, thanks a lot for this plugin!

I'm glad to announce that i finshed the bridge!!!
you can download it at the first post.

the big change are the textures: i spent a lot of time positioning them.

i ike the chairs a lot too, though their material gives the sensation to be something hard and uncomfortable...

I've just finnished a restaurant and the Chef asked me if I would make a stand to display a large Cheese wheel that he'd brought from overseas. I put togrther this simple stand and I'd like your opinion regarding the shelf. I can't decide if I want to leave it like this or add streachers under it.

little off-topic: what do you mean with "overseas"? because that cheese comes exactly from my town!

...especially if you have Photorealistic 3D models turned on...

This sounds as if SU7 will have a build-in rendere...!?!
Or will the user be able to use whatever render application they prefer and use it together with Google Earth..??

i think "photorealistic models" are all the models with textures and which are made with sketchup and can be found in the 3d warehouse. the non-photorealistic models are the "grey models". there's the possibility to turn on and off photorealistic and grey models.

very useful tip!

@frederik said:

Julius - sorry for my ignorance, but how have you applied the textures..??

with the bucket tool and then i adjusted the position.( )

@frederik said:

And have you tried exporting to an OBJ-file, instead of using the SU2KT..??
since i use SU free version i can't export to OBJ.

@frederik said:

Reason for asking is that SU2KT can't handle some parts of SU texturing very good (i.e. Photomatch)...

here i didn't use photomatch.

@frederik said:

Can't you post your scene or a part of it at the KT Forum..??
I'm sure that someone will be happy to debug this...

if you insist...

wow! they look very realistic! which kind of glass did you use?

@greyhead said:

Most likely you need to select "Export default UVs" as 'Yes' when you export to Kerkythea from SketchUp. If the UVs aren't exported then KT uses settings of its own.

The picture on the left has the default settings and some textures are large and others small. The one on the right uses the SU mapping (though some textures are missing in this case - it's the earlier version of he model posted below).

mmm...that doesn't seem to solve the problem, on the contrary...
the attached image below shows the model exported in KT with UVs:

i love your renders majid!

@gaieus said:

Yes, Julius, certainly it is very boring but once you finish an arch, you may be able to use it as a component on arches of the same size and shape.

that arch is a component: but there are 6 different kinds of arches in this model...

@gaieus said:

And don't forget; texturing (especially if you want to render in an external application) is almost as important as modeling itself.

you're right: in fact i exported the model to kerkythea and the texture on the arches was randomly placed! after all the time i spent positioning it! so i had to go back to SU, export a 2d view of the arch and import it as texture. and when i exported it to KT it was ok.

Thank you Gaieus! I attach an image of the first arch i've done: it was quite boring and i still have to do the other arches.

nice photos, i remember the olive tree! i think it comes from spain or something like that.

the bad thing is antics doesn't consider a sketchup model as a floor but you have to create a "room".

Take a look at

Ancient Rome Rebuilt! Digitally

Rome's Mayor Walter Veltroni will officiate at the first public viewing of "Rome Reborn 1.0," a 10-year project based at the University of Virginia and begun at UCLA to use advanced technology to digitally rebuild ancient Rome. “Rome Reborn 1.0" shows almost the entire city within the 13-mile-long Aurelian Walls as it appeared in A.D. 320. At that time Rome was the

Science Codex (www.sciencecodex.com)

the article is quite old, in the meantime the major has changed
btw, it's an interesting project.

how long did the last rendering take?

stunning!

Gaieus gave me a good idea for my roman theatre with the textures.

Julius, with our models one day we will be able to do our own roman city!

why not?

your rings look both very good!
