That's strange. It applies to the back but not to the front?

Can you share a model?

Hi JQL,

It does apply to the front faces, but also add the texture to the back face without haveing me to click on it.

Ok, I just found out how to fix it but don't know the cause of it. This issue happens with components. So when I explode the component, the problem is gone. SketchUp uses the normal colors for front and back faces without automatically applies a texture used in the component.

Hello,

I had this problem before but it somehow disappeared.

It now appears again. SketchUp will automatically applied a texture from the model to the back faces of any geometry I create.

I used Remove All Backface Materials from Thomthom's Material Tools, but it did not work.

Any suggestion on how to fix this?

Thank you!

Very cool, Bryan. Nice progression. I look forward to seeing your next render in a few years.

Best,

_KN

p.s. I noticed the trees have grown over the years.

@ Bryan and John: Thanks for your kind words, guys. Yes, it's nice to be back.

Here are some more concepts inside the Chronarch ship.

Cheers!

@ Pilou, Carsten, Doug and Bryan: Thanks for your kind words, guys.

Here are some concepts of the Dark Woods leading to the Watchtower where you fight the boss of this chapter on top of the tower.

As usual, SketchUp + V-Ray for SketchUp + Photoshop.

Have a great week!

This is awesome, Liam. Congrats.

Long time no write. I am back to the forum now after a year + of silence. I see that you have been busy.

You went to Vietnam? Nice. I was born there but left in the 70's after the war, and never had the chance to come back and visit.

Have a great weekend!

_KN

That's cool. I look forward to seeing the finished head with the body.

@ Pilou and Bryan: thanks for your comments.

Here are a couple of concept from the same location, which is the Chronarch Ship (the enemy alien race in the game). This is the battle with the Empress before she flees and then the chapter 1 of the game begins. You will have another opportunity to fight that boss at the end.

Have a great weekend!

@Steve, Pilou, John and Dale: Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Much appreciated. Apologies for the late reply.

Dear Friends,

Wow, it has been more than a year since my last post.

I disappeared for a while, but don't worry, I am still alive and back with a bunch of new concepts.

In case you were wondering what happened to me, here a quick summary. The company that I was working for on the mobile game Chronoblade ran out of funding and they shut down the Art Department and laid off the Art Director and Concept Artists.

However, as someone once said, when one door closes another opens, I got a new job. But I had to move to Los Angeles (Sherman Oaks, to be exact). I am no longer working in the game industry, but in the entertainment/theme park type of projects. Indeed, the new company is Victory Hill Entertainment and I am currently doing concepts for Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N shows that opened in Paris, New York, Seoul, Las Vegas and Singapore. Check out the website:

I am also doing concepts for the upcoming Hasbro Transformers shows. I can't wait to share some of the latest concepts with you guys.

In the meantime, I can show you all the concepts I did for Chronoblade.

The concepts below are for the introduction chapter of the game.

Chronoblade is a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, therefore I will split my concepts in the fantasy and sci-fi threads.

Thanks for stopping and have a terrific week!

Hello there,

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

I mentioned to you that I have started a new job almost two years ago. The game Chronoblade has finally launched in Korea last May and in China on October. It is available on Android and iOS.

It's coming to the West (USA and Europe) sometime in 2016.

Here's a concept for the Hubtown, where the players start.

The first image shows the background with UI (User Interface) and the second has the background without UI.

Cheers!

_KN

Hello there,

Here are some more sketchUp concepts of guns.

I will texture and render the second image when I have the time.

Cheers!

_KN

These are awesome. Very good use of SketchUp and art style for children's books.

Have a great day!
