More nice work sir.


Here is the link to the model: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/c4043800-28c9-4d1b-8ba8-e18634aa0d03/Shaparak
Thanks for the compliment. I am still experimenting with the coating layer and maybe am not using the right template but the result is amazing.

I edited, modeled and uploaded one of the sketches as a villa here:

When it comes to concept sharing, I personally prefer to keep the conversation open, not confined by materials, etc. I believe the best option is still using Sketchup styles.
Recently I adjusted some of my styles carefully for the best result in concept sharing and quick presentation. No need to apply any material, they work best in Monochrome mode.
I have tweaked them so that shadows have colors preventing default gray SketchUp shadows, section line, and selected objects also are customized to add more variations and match the style.
They are now live in the Shop section:

Each one is carefully set and built up .

I modeled the building, textured and rendered it to try the exterior scene. Texturing needs more attention and I will rectify it later. By the way, I liked the result.

Does not this also replicate the reality: An old Russian politician stealthy tore the Ukrainian flag and then gets punched in the face by a young patriot Ukrainian Politician? Others intervene to settle down the conflict.
I hate conflict, why we can not play in a win-win manner?
It is technically doable, you are right, BTW it was much easier using Stylebuilder.
I personally have developed all my styles inside Sketchup, based on my previously made line-art styles (using style builder).
I will share more soon.

I used a combination of a 3D model and a "face me "component for grass.
I made a very simple component ( a square and a vertical line) then included my grass models inside it. The simple one is on one "tag" or layer and the detailed and face me model are on another "tag" or layer. Then made the "heavy" tag/layer invisible to move between scenes,
This way I can handle grass easily.
Just messing around with the Prome ai sketch-rendering tool.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I had the chance to prepare a video on utilizing Rayscaper in product (car) rendering.

Here is the link to it, Happy Rayscapering!:

I spent some time finalizing and publishing a new short Skillshare course. This is after grand masters; James Fletcher-Watson and Edward Seago. I have tried to simplify and describe everything in detail:

Rational, quality and diverse spaces, coherent... Nicely designed!
@pixelcruncher My pleasure to do that. I guess it works for beginners to get familiar with the interface and materials and those who are specially into product rendering.
@tuna1957 Thanks mate. It is a basic course, by the way it may provides you with a few minutes of creative and quality time!
Feel free to share, please!
For those interested in design principles and creativity, I think there are some useful hints in my A, B, Sketches book. It is designed to boost your form generation creativity yet you may use it as a blueprint for 3D modeling drills to challenge and improve your skills.
You may grab your copy from the Sketchucation shop here:

Here are some images that I think are mainly relevant to design, and that is why I am sharing them in the gallery section. I would be happy to see your attempts.





@pixelcruncher  Yeap it makes sense if is in front of its name. Much better if could be undocked , floating and enlarged.
