I'm getting so tired of doing McMansions. But it pays...for now. The Archs I work for don't have the balls to steer clients away from these damned things. And if I say no, they just get some high school kid with markers to do some renders. (note: high school kids deserve a chance at it as well, mind you.) Just ranting...i'll shut up now.
I can't seem to get it to make curved windows anymore, I think it used to do it ok? Can anyone else using the attached model?
How do I keep the 3D Warehouse browser from closing each time I complete a download? It is really a hassle when I have to open the browser and go back to the last models' page I downloaded. If the browser would not automatically close then I could continue to browse models.
Thanks
I made this years ago, ran across it while migrating to new machine. The car is not mine, and was experimenting with HDRI.
By the way how do I stop these images from being cut off with the scroll bars?
This dentist has a very demented sense of humor.
Couple of renders from Podium and Photo Shop. Dentist office.
Quickie...
Not my Astronauts...from 3D wear house.
I was just looking at this model and I think the problems are actually in the geometry causing texture problems than anything else. I will reconstruct it and try to solve the issue with that.
Thanks
This is an old problem but I still haven't been able to solve it. Tried UV Tools but can't make it work...
Heres some images from the project.
The problem with Sketchup is still the same as when it first came out. Modeling accurate terrain and incorporating with the architecture. Let me elaborate...
My last model was fun, until I had to set it into the landscape. The landscape was a severe grade with winding paths, platforms, stairs and driveways. The paths were integrated into the multiple stories of the structure and that meant the terrain had to meet the architecture precisely. At first there was no digital survey model and I could only use Google Earth. Google Earth is rudimentary at best and I only could supply a rough concept, tweaked and pulled for hours.
I searched for a way to use DEM data, but on a MAC it's impossible. Later when I did get the site survey I still had a hard time twisting the surfaces to mate with the model. I spent as long with the landscape getting it to work as I did building the structure that was to set into it.
Yes, I bought the book (You know the one I'm talking about) but it really fell short of what I needed. And I used every conceivable plug in and tool in sketchup.
For now, I'm going to have to refuse settle structures into there site landscapes. Until I can figure this one out.
I like your scene, I do however like render apps. that offer a bit more Atmospheric Perspective. I think they look a little more realistic, however they tend to be more expensive I think? I tweaked your post (hope you dont mind) to illustrate what I am talking about. Its subtle but as the objects get further from the viewer they also get weaker in color and take on more blue from the atmosphere. IMHO
Instead of going for ultra-realism (which I admire, but cant afford) I think I'm going for stylized realism. Please excuse the morrie pattern on the seats
Podium + Photoshop
Thanks TIG,
The drape tool only drapes in a vertical fashion (whats the coordinate? X,Y?) So if for example I wanted to drape a #2 on the side of a slope it becomes distorted, elongated. Love your work by the way.
Is it possible to use this tool to put text on a surface. Flat text that follows the curvature of a sphere or rolling hills in all directions?
I have been trying to nail this aspect down for years. Accurate terrain models. I work with 1 to 5 Acre projects and need to show how the buildings fit into the landscape, which at times may be very hilly. I have been using Google Earth but it is to general (even at its highest quality settings). Is there another way to get higher quality topos that show grades, rise and fall, slopes and even verticals, sinkhole...that kind of detail?
My second question is after I have this data, how do I convert it using sketchup. I'm not new to the program so you don't have to into great detail.
Thanks
I did these renders a while back, I got the SKP model from the warehouse, did you make this or was it someone else?
can't us it if it don't work with 10.4.11, not every one has an intel.
Heres the other one.
