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

haha..no, not really... unless you've got something good in mind.. going to keep at it, mess with the composition..add a few more elements.. put our name in there someplace.. hopefully find an hdri to reflect...

maybe have the 'baby' standing or leaning up a bit since that will be the new addition to the family? some kind of focus on it? or maybe have it cutting out some pink dough?

anymore ideas?

definitely looks like you are having fun... keep em coming

yeah, cookies would definitely be good...that, or dough and a rolling pin or something.. not sure i can pull off the cookies or dough though

haha...well it was my wife's and i scanned it to get the shape so, close...haha..

so this is going to be yet another christmas card... this time for the family... still working on composition and need some elements to make it 'christmasy'... any suggestions are appreciated...

there's going to be more to this, but this is the first test....

happy bday, dylan!!

haha...no, i'm totally with you, frederik.... looking back on this, it could've been way way better!

...just came across my card from last year (have been rebuilding my MacBook after a hard drive failure :-/)...

these are awesome, kwisten.. i'm having a tough time deciding which versions i like best i'm kind of leaning towards fryrender i think...

very cool, frederik. i ran into the same problem with the xmas balls i started with.

just highlight the items you want mirrored... right click, and go down to 'flip along'.... and pick the axis...might take some experimentation with the axes.. it flips 'along' the axis...

daaaammnnnn..loving the birds! i dont know..the fluorescent green trees still get me but maybe they work on this one.. either way, this is coming along awesome.

thanks everyone...glad you are as happy with it as i am

and tina..i've always got extras..hit me with your address...haha.. amazingly, i think i have almost 100 cards to send out.. last year it was probably half that..

this is awesome... you could make these images into a rough animation with quicktime..or an animated gif with imageready... could be cool b/c these are awesome.

phil..i did not try that because i though the '21' would blend in too much....and i didnt really want to change the color of the ball..

alexander...this is maxwell render

hey, thanks guys!

eric..just noticed the cut-off too...editted it and made the image a bit smaller..

think i've got this finished now (old post in the old forum: http://www.sketchucation.com/scf/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3618 ) I'd like to play more.. but dont have the time..i dig it though.

(editted it and made the image smaller to fit)

yeah...i think it has to do with converting metric to feet/inches... i think it interprets the decimaled number wrong... or the original modeller did i've had this problem with sketchup components occasionally as well..
