    • RE: WIP / Visualisation of a Green Wall Facade System.

      Ask away mate, bottom line is as much as I am a big fan or urban greening in general for so many ecological reasons. I think in practice they are a nightmare on so many levels, Having a lot of experience i this field as a systems designer I do not thing the are practical. and one hole in that waterproof membrane either vertically as in green walls or horizontally as in green roofs Green roofs being the lesser evil of the two.
      In reality we all know as normal building age buildings age things go wrong and damp is a big problem

      I do not believe the hype any more. Look up french green wall designer Patrick Blanc I believe he is the leader in this field

    • RE: WIP / Visualisation of a Green Wall Facade System.

      Again nice work mate. I love the idea of green walls and your systems seem to a watering system with climbing plants which is s good option. I have a good knowledge of green wall systems. the downside (not particularity your type of system. But other systems are incredibly expensive to make and to maintain. And often the interior green wall systems use interior grow lamps.....hardly environmentally friendly and ironic The other thing is if they fail the can fail catastrophically. This is just a conversation about green walls in general and not a comment on your work. If a company wants a green wall system, as much as I like them I would say if you have the money to have 2 Horticulturalist/ gardener/ technician, and a high rise rigging certification and you can afford about 60 man hours a week every week then go ahead

      ![alt text](![Failed green wall rigger/withe repelling certification 5 days a week then don't do a conventional green wall system on a high rise building, don't do It is

    • Projected texture or use map?

      Hi guys have been off the SketchUp horse for a while. And I am getting back on again.

      I have used reference images for a while now and always have issues when I send it into Twinmotion as it will stretch any extruded texture that I have pushed pulled.. To avoid this should I explode the Base image and project it or use it as a texture to trace the image?House.png

    • RE: I know this is totally off SU topic "adolescence"

      Yes it is worrying what life is like for our kids. One crazy thing about this short series is that each episode was filmed with one single shot, and the acting is next level

      Hi guys I realise this is random, But has anybody else seen "adolescence" on netflix? If you have not I think it is so freaking thought provoking, genius on so many levels

    • RE: Free ai pbr texture generator

      thanks i would say a tool that would respond to an image perhaps low res, then increase the resolution (if needed) and then create tiled image and normal's diffuse maps Etc,

    • Free ai pbr texture generator

      Hi I am researching free ai PBR texture generators. So I started down the rabbit hole I thought I would ask forums . Has anyone here had much experience with Free ai pbr texture generators they may recommend?

    • RE: Free of 2025

      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

    • Nanite now used in Twinmotion

      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

    • RE: My Architect ai.

      @pixelcruncher said in My Architect ai.:

      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 linearπŸ‘Ž πŸ‘½ 😠 😠

      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

    • RE: Urchin the Australian lunar village

      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.
