A quick test render:

No doubt the true master is you for crafting these! to you!

Here's my attempt at your Spindle:

I'm always impressed to see real world hand/mouth-crafted objects!

Spindle Pendant is a fun one to model. I couldn't resist trying...

Flora's glass may be achieved more easily with texturing rather than modelling...
Unfortunately, I use Thea Render and can't help you with Maxwell as far as texturing goes...

Well Admin acount and Java were the two culprits for me. I'm out of ides... Sorry...

Have you got Java installed?

Hi leminilab, that's worth a try! Did you run SU from that account then?

Yes. I think I re-installed SU and Image Trimmer on this account and it worked.

Sorry for not being more positive about this but I had to format my pc and I haven't needed image trimmer since...

Adding a Windows Admin account with a password (don't know if it has something to do with it...) did the trick for me.

Looks awesome! You must (rightfully ) be thrilled!

Hi,

do you have a reference name for this stool? Or a bigger reference image maybe?

Hi Cotty!

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about this.
Don't worry about the apparently ingrateful downloaders!

Some of these borrowers will eventually end up sharing things too...

Let's see the glass half-full and consider the fact they downloaded your models shows how great they are!

Thanks for your models and thanks again for this great thread!

Hi Bob,

As weird as it may seem, I'm still struggling to label my job correctly!
I'm working in the event organization industry and what's closest to what I do may be stage design.
Basically, I'm given cad plans of the venue where the agency want to organize an event and I try to meet production costs and artistic ideas to sell the concepts.

Since the business is quite slow at the moment, I like to spend some time practising, modelling and rendering and trying to help people when I can. I got helped so much on this forum... It's an amazing community!

When I started modelling in Sketchup 3 years ago, I just thought I had to do my best to make a living out of it. And when I started rendering, it just met my personal tendency for precision and taste for photography... It all just made much sense!

I started rendering with Kerkythea and now I'm using Thea render. Thea render's new release is very exciting and from my point of view a true revolution for Sketchup users. And a lot of the Sketchucation community also migrated to Thea which makes Thea's community also amazing.

I can say I met a lot of great people on this journey and if I can also help a tiny bit then I'm the happiest guy!

Nice meeting you Bob! Have a nice day!
Nicolas

Thanks for sharing!

That's a real fun challenge

Is this ThomThom new quad subdivision tool?

Hi,

The foot model is probably not as clean as it could and I know it could be better but I'm really glad it ended up useful to you!

A few things I noticed:

• you could use one single component for the legs.
• purging the components and materials in your model helped me reduce the filesize from 11Mb to 7.5Mb.
• SketchUV and Thrupaint enabled me to texture your model in 5 minutes.
  Idon't know what you intend on doing with your model but if you want to render it at some point, these 5 extra minutes are a must.

Thanks a lot for sharing!
Have a nice day.

And another try before going to bed! Still not the exact shape but closer to it... And poly heavy...
I'll try to join the skp to this post.
A 16 sides polygon extruded and resized. I selected every other faces and join push pulled them. Artisan 2 subdivision.

And a quick test render in Thea.

pied3.zip

A little more work. Still not there yet...

A (too) quick Artisan proxy and Joint Push Pull. Needs a little more care but I think it can be done.

Hi,

I decided to be more serious about modelling... I think I might be on the right track and decided to share some models on the warehouse.
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?uq=1106685347342413624736238&scoring=m

I still need to understand why it's better to model with quads or tris only.
And how to do it.

If anyone can explain this to me briefly, I'd be thankful!

Hi,

I just had to model this chir and I immediately thought I would share it on your thread Cotty!

There it is:

Spazio chair.skp

Thanks a lot! I'm sure anybody can use these!
