definitely..i just now really noticed the background 'terrain'..looks awesome.

that's a good idea, tina... i will give that a whirl..i've been trying to find a way to emphasize that piece..taht might just do it....

that's an idea, kwisten.. i can probably do somethign quickly with the terrain editor in sketchup?...i was trying to get away with using some old rocks i had..haha.. i do have silo sitting here..i have yet to open it though..haha

taht's not a bad idea, solo..i was going to look around for some photos of dough and see what kind of map i coudl come up with..

flour woudl be an awesome idea..but i dont think i have the skill, time, or energy to produce it unless someone has some suggestions..

getting closer (I think)... what do you think about the dough?

i need to make the dough in the bowl a little smoother.. and make the spoon a little larger..

dayum..these last few sci-fi images are AWESOME! dont know how ya do it..haha..

the recipe idea is awesome, kwisten!.. but i think this is going to end up being a postcard to keep costs down (printing, envelopes, postage)... daniel, i jumbled them a 'little'..but still kept them in a line so you read them as a 'family'.. i'm adding a few more details and hopefully i'll have something somewhat final later on today. thanks for the help guys

quick 6 min. image to show the direction i'm heading..need to move that branch up a bit so the balls arent on the table..i hate when my balls are on the table..

And a good talent in modelling!

..but only in sketchup, as far as we're concerned

anyone else think the title of this thread is extremely fitting to the hijacked content? haha

(and scott..i apologize...that's awesome to hear taht everyting in formfonts is modelled in sketchup!)

well yeah, its more than hitting the button..but i dont think he meant it like that... and he's 100% right.. you cannot have a good (photoreal) render without the detail..

nice.. this looks great. awesome placement of the person too.. it wouldnt have half as much feeling without him.

this is a touchy subject.. if something's on 3d warehouse or formfonts or wherever sketchup models are distributed...it should be fair game.. i'm sure there is a ton of stuff on formfonts that was modelled in 3d studio or something..

this is true, coen...sorry..... i only use maxwell.....

wow..looks awesome! this is such a great model.

very cool...love the stylized tree model...

very 'rudolph the rednosed reindeer'esque..haha

well i didnt want to say anything....but.. haha.. kidding

thank you solo

i actually did make one the other night, just have had a crazy deadline this week and of course, have multiple meetings this week... and havent had time to play b/c i'm stuck 'working' at night..haha.. (all night last night..yech)

funny guy.... i like to keep things simple

true, ross.. cutters in xmas shapes would get the christmasy effect across..
