..cannot believe i've never seen this thread before.. you guys work in some AWESOME locations! i'm really jealous
me, not so awesome...blue collar neighborhood..southeast philly... back room in my house.. has a door to my deck, but that's the only window...haha..
anyone know of a simple way for me to calculate the volume contained in this? its for an exhibit i'm working on..doesnt ahve to be exact, i guess i could simplify it a bit and figure out the volume under the contours? any ideas? thanks!
wow...these compositions are great...hard to believe that most are native sketchup output! awesome!
(love the dachshunds too 
i've got two myself )
i actually use a modified version of the google earth style..haha.. which really, is no style at all... as for the white ceiling..its tough sometimes.. make sure the ceiling plane is set to not receive or cast any shadows...and just lighten up the shadows alot.. both light and dark..

would have like to see soem interior renders as that is exactly the sort of jobs i do.
here are a few images of a couple other projects.. just straight sketchup output to keep costs down..
yeah, there is alot of meeting space..i'm not really sure of the function of the space, chances are they have other floors in the building.. as far as i know, this is the entire floorplate... i only know what i'm given.. 
yeah, this was an autocad plan with an elevation or two.. the rest i guesstimated.
i tend to do these alot...they're usually pretty good money-makers but certainly not exciting...this one was rush rush.. got the info late last night and tackled it all today...about 9-10 hours.. alot of the furniture and a few other components i have from similar projects... finishes will come next, but some time down the road... the overall's seem much more interesting than the detail shots..since there is no detail....lol..so i wont even show them
good to know good to know.. i do that too, but its just because its easier to search there than on my computer.. maybe someone can set up a bot to dl 30 of your models/day haha
oh yeah, and i'm with ypnos!
...and just when i thought i coudlnt hate you any more! interiors! haha.. .these are awesome
wait... i do have a comment..
where are the trucker girls???
my two week old (today) baby girl of course, she wont be getting any! do as i say, not as i do..that sorta thing..haha.
love your rigging system justin.... (along with everything else)... really cant wait to see this all come together!
yeah...that's what i'm saying...owner permission. i honestly dont think it'll help what with what he's doing anyway.
..but i have 'faked' a larger manhattan model by going nuts downloading stuff from 3dwarehouse...there are ALOT of manhattan buildings on there.
i've got a couple blocks of low rise buildings i was hired to model from photos.... not sure that's very helpful though..and not sure i'm 'allowed' to share 
where is his nose?? haha.. this is great though.... i agree about the leaves.... the grass is a little neat...but i think it works for the image...
thanks guys..much appreciated.. i'll post up the finals when its done.
at all!
