Cool render and space, I have downloaded a few of those myself, inspired to have a go.

@L-i-am nice images.

I would like to see the first horizontal seams on either side at the same height.

Thanks Rich, Box, I would not know how to use ruby script I gor around it easily by getting one face correct by scaling in SU, I when copied the good face and then rotating it 90 deg and replacing that "Wrong" face with the one I copped then every thing worked as it should👍

@L-i-am if you wanted to make it look less photographic you could use the rendered image as a basis for a hand-shaded sort of look. Combine it with a hidden line export from SketchUp Maybe use a sketchy line style or the straight line styles. Maybe enable extensions for some of the lines

This is just a quickie shaded thing. I'm not sure it's totally right but a start.

Supercalafrajalistic etc.

Wow, beautifull render

@Rich-O-Brien nothing to add, the scene looks very real...

@L-i-am

A lot of those in mid sixties to mid seventies buildings in London have those, South bank exhibition building a standout for concrete and glass.

Wow. Excellent work!

Both are great, but the second one is better. Top notch work!

@L-i-am

Sue-perlative.

Wow! Top notch! I would swear that's a photo.

I think what you want is like a variable pitch helix. The curve of the helix begins from a horizontal plane then begins the helix and at the top the pitch transitions to another horizontal plane. In Sketchup you'd have to mess with the line segments. I tried finding something in Blender and haven't found anything. I'm still a novice with that. It looks like Solidworks and Rhino can do something like that.

Thanks guys, I was looking at Armorpaint, but am downloading QMS. So down the rabbit hole I go😵

@L-i-am

Very 'Zen'.

@Mike-Amos agreed Mike, I get very confused in the render end phase

Stunning. Just stunning. Perfection.

@Mike-Amos Agree! 😁

@L-i-am

Cracking renders.
