I find the AO style looks more dirty than AO. Its like a cavity map mixed with AO. Not your scene just in general. Looks great for exterior stuff but object filled interiors looks a bit grimy. Nice to see them gives Styles some attention though. I always felt that StyleBuilder was really an opportunity for SketchUp to have a companion app that allowed us to do NPR rendering etc. Your scene is nice though.

@L-i-am No coincidence mate, when you posted the thread about your hometown I had a look around virtually. You have a fine combination of classic and modern architecture which blends in with the subject and being local, you can physically look around for inspiration rather than on a screen. That modern art gallery seems to me, to be the best setting but you will come up with a cracking result whatever gallery you choose.

Yeah... wow!

@Rich-O-Brien said in Missy the missing Cat (very funny Mike): @L-i-am do we know if she found Missy? Missy was found alive but only just, she was found in the veggie compartment of a beer fridge ( In Australia that is a fridge in the garage just for beers when you have a party or BBQ) she was found alive but with severe hypothermia.

@L-i-am Speechless, gobsmacked, very happy to see these. Pukka and then some. You Sir, are the real deal.

@Rich-O-Brien said in TM sketchup interior: @L-i-am I like this version. The bathroom only diverted my eye. Plant needs some work but lighting is a vibe. Good job You were correct about the plant but I attached the wrong image that time[image: 1719730490693-plant.jpg]

@jo-ke said in Le Corbusier, heavy patina render: Wow! beautifull I am using artistic licence and calling it rendered brick

That's UV projection. Select the face in SketchUp, right click and check if its set to Projected.

Very nice!

@Rich-O-Brien said in Genius small house: Wonder how these manage high winds/storms etc? I think the sturdiness of shipping containers is where the benefits lie. They travel the oceans. This is a quote, one of many items online about this subject "Container homes are engineered to stand their ground against strong winds. The sturdy steel construction of shipping containers provides a robust framework that can resist powerful gusts" I know what you mean though. There is potential for wind to get under the structure. Would be a simple task to get a structural engineer to draw up some specs' These containers have A twistlock or twist lock, on each corner just attach suitable footing to these I am sure the structural integrity would be up to the task.

@Rich-O-Brien That may be so Rich, and I do not know the full attributes that Keyshot offers as I mentioned. However TM has offered specialised product studios and environments for the last 2 or 3 versions. People may not be aware of this. that's why I posted. I should have made my post clearer on that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy3rm2BfK3U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F24wMRUY95M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovd-nYIo2pc

@Mike-Amos said in PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up): @L-i-am Really good to hear folk are taking ownership and doing the right thing, go Australia indeed. We think these are new problems? https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/deadly-make-up-regime-queen-24550328 Cheers Mike, in about 2005 there was a toy called bindeez. Basically they were little beeds where kids would form a coloured pattern of the beads and join them together by spraying them with water and letting it dry. Anyway the Australian toy company decided to get them made in China. In that year there was emergency warning on TV and radio. Seems like the Chinese manufacturer changed the formula to make the product cheaper, hence more profit. The replacement contained "1,4 butylene glycol" that simulates the drug gamma hydroxy butyrate (GHB) (Street name "Grievous bodily harm" a drug not unlike ecstasy if swallowed. children were hospitalised. Then around the same time a Chinese company put melamine in babies formular as that would allow them to water down the milk and the melamine reads as protein, making the mandatory lab test show the milk had the correct amount of protein as per specification. I remember seeing a grandmother buying some Santa clause shaped predominantly red confectionery (clearly made iin China ,at a supermarket I vividly remember cringing

@L-i-am Man, This is enchanting. Thanks for sharing.

Additionally I opened the same model and I could apply textures, then after about 10 mins I get a bug splat message and then it goes into uncooperative mode again

@L-i-am said in "Sketchup go" question: Thanks, how do I mark a question solved/ answered? When you are creating a topic there's an option to 'Ask a question'. If you use that then you can pick the correct answer. Not sure if you have the ability the retro-actively edit your post to convert from a topic to a question? [image: 1712751755648-brave_cgir1prae6.png] If you do then try it and see you can mark my reply as correct.

@tuna1957 said in Just moved in (Render): @L-i-am Excellent job. Only critique is the brightness of the garage space seems to take away from the more somber overall look of the render…. Take it for what it’s worth….. Everybody sees and interprets renders differently. Still all in all a great job. Hi Tuna, with all respect to your comment the lighting was central to the intent of the image, ying and yang, light and shade
