I did this one recently

Hi I did this some time ago. I never posted it before




Layha for Production Exploded 1.pdf

Had a medical procedure so have not used sketchup for a while so I got back on the horse today. Was a bit rusty. I did this referencing an image from jamzVIEW But put my own take on it. Building model was from 3D warehouse by Desired Space that have high quality models and are recommended. Sketchuo plus TM

Hi Guys, I decided to do the door, it is hellish I did the stained glass in Autocad by Autode$ it too many hoursand many more hours just to kix the planars.. If anyone has a godd sandstone texture you could pass on it would be appreciated. I am doing the sandstone as geometry block by block

Have done a bit more work. This is the final

Just did this render in SU and TM with a bit of post with luminar Neo, based on an image I saw with a few changes

I have made the changes to the steps.![alt tex

I had another go at the house, I prefer this version.

I just did my quickest render ever. I know this is a SU forum but for this I only used sketchup for the terrain. I used Sketchfab and Megascans for the models and TM native trees. The first image is using Luminar AI to replace the sky and the second image I added filters to get the more mystical look

Hi, I thought it would be cool to have wet tyre tracks on the driveway. I could not get hold of some wet tyre tracks. I used a TM native puddle an shrank it down to the size of a tyre track and arrayed them as instances in a linear fashion so there are hundreds of puddles in a line, looks quite convincing I think

I can see AI completely take over modelling altogether. I could imagine a time when you would have a pen and pad and you would do a rough sketch with scale and AI will come up with a model and show you the results in perhaps 10 seconds. Then you would perhaps talk to AI to or add and modify the architecture and AI would make refinements to the model. I think threw the sketches and dialogue the model could be rendered in short time. perhaps the whole process may take an hour from concept to final render. Then you could get construction drawings in another half an hour with two agents competing in a similar fashion to the deep fake process and checking each others work. so there you go from idea to construction drawings in half a day. I do not think that is to long a bow to draw pardon the pun.

I wish text to image did not exist but there is no doubt but grudgingly these images are very impressive. I feel the skills a lot of us have devoted our skills to learning how to model and render are almost redundant. But that felling will be felt by many. Doctors, lawyers, musicians and admin etc Jus saying. What others feel about AI

@Gus-R Nice work Gus These two shots are my faves

Hi Guys just came upon this, I have not used it yet but TM is now utilising a function that is in Unreal Engine called nanite a concept I was not aware of before. I wont go any further in explaining it uses a reduction in polygons on a as needed basis looks pretty cool and useful for rendering heavy polygon models

Looks like rayscaper is maturing well

Thanks for sharing @Mike-Amos - It's a brave new world.

I wonder how many users are ditching rendering solutions and are going for AI rendering. The results they show are great; I only wonder if it can consistently produce such good results.

This tech is AI and constantly learning. As far as "consistency" we are just scratching the surface. Ai is in a learning phase what it will produce images of stunning quality. Pointless for me to hope that Ai design and rendering would disappear, but it wont. It will just get better and better and I do not think the "improvements in AI will not be linear

I fed what you said to gpt and it came back with this:

@majid said in Potential for SU type interface for Blender?:

I tried the script. It does create a rectangle, yet not intuitive enough. Rest did not work for me, but a good start.

I have no doubt what you said is true, but it makes me sad. I did my first play with a song creating AI program today the result was pretty amazing. Wild wild West ATM

Exactly Majid, have an Industrial design degree. And if I was to sum it up a lot of the course was deprogramming. In its most simple explanation would be that in day one of the course you would be asked to design a chair. In our young heads and 99.99% of us would see the a stereotypical break down of a chair and visualise a flat plane for your butt perhaps 4 legs to keep you off the ground and perhaps a vertical plane to support you back. Whereas a trained designer very deliberately undo the brief from "design a chair" and change it to "Develop a device to support the human frame in an "X" environment" then we might study the human anatomy.

Biomimicry is such a cool device for inspiration from nature

Agreed if understood right. In many cases, it is just playing with forms, nothing more, while we might be inspired by the forces that shaped those natural innovations. By "forces", I mean all chemical, mechanical, logical... forces that shape a phenomenon.

This is a subject that holds a lot of interest for me. I find sharks beautiful not by deign but by evolution (although I don't fully endorse Darwinian theory in its entirety) the form of a shark is purely efficiency of hydrodynamics etc, etc. I also draw the analogy that I also find fighter jets beautiful almost in the extreme. There were no industrial designers or sculptors involved saying "I think if that was a little broader it would look more sleek and pretty" or "if we put the cockpit back a bit it would look more balanced. So every single part of the and the resultant jet is a beautiful at lease to me yet NO part of it was an aesthetic consideration. It was all based on pure logic based upon the skills of the design engineering and testing, even the additional considering the aircrafts radar foot print has added another function in balance with aerodynamic considerations turns out such a beautiful "sculptural" form.
Imagine when AI gets its hand on aircraft design, skies the limit Who knows what innovation will be the form of future aircraft design will take. It may also seem organic both in form/ function...............print me an aircraft
