Great work, I think the materials would spoil it.

Nice work Eric.

Maxwell definitely in about 4 or five steps you can render within an hour have reasonable quality architectural renders, but if you want to use materials with maps and things and other features ..multilight etc ...its quite a long learning curve.

I am not sure what you did here, the image is small but one way is to hide all the lines
except the ones you want to retain visible.

Great work, love it.

Looks great

Nice work Mannie. Keep it up.

Richard, Welcome to the forum.
The problem with 3D plants and trees is that they usually become large files and it becomes impossible to place a lot of them in a model. What people usually do is to create them in some other application such as onix trees and use them later by placing them inside the rendering application. Sketch Up is not exactly the best application for creating realistic plants and trees.

Anyway have a look at some of these recent threads regarding trees and making trees.

Great work.

Alan beat me to it, I was just going to say that those are some of the best snow scenes I have seen.

Mateo,
I did a little Googling and you live in a beautiful place. Maybe I should visit, buy a little vinyard overlooking the sea. I'm trying to find a local store that sells Croatian wine, no luck yet. My wife spent three months working on a movie in China last year and tried a Chinese wine called Dynasty - they all called it Die-Nasty is was so bad.
BTW I really like your designs for MARINOVIC.

Thanks, If you decide to visit I can organize some winery visits for you. I am very fortunate that I do a lot of work for some of these wine producers. They are a great bunch of people in love with the work they do and they really know how to take the best out of life. To have a little vinyard has always been my dream. I have some olive trees, oh yes and I love good wine, well thats a start anyway.
You probably cant find Croatian wine in stores is because we have a problem with quantities. The wine
production at this higher level has begun only recently 10-15 years ago with the fall of the communist
goverment and the small vineryes havent had a chance to develop quantities like the french and the italians have. The quantities at the moment are sufficient for the local market.

Andy,
Great images and thanks for sharing your interesting work flow.

Hey Mateo,
The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon, Yountville Selection from Grgich Hills sells for $135.00 USD/759HRK. What does the most expensive wine at a comparable Croatian vinyard sell for?

The question here is about selections. There will always be somebody that has a limited selection from
a good year that will place a price tag on it. But generally a good year, good winery barrique sells around 150-200 HRK - 25-35 US and at the wineyard you could probably get it even 20%-30% cheaper. If you were closer I could send You some to try. These local red wines are really good. Lot of sun on steep hillside.

Thanks James, great recource.

Got any larger version of the sketches?

And the image .

Greg,
Thanks for starting this topic, although I come nowhere close to film and stage ( I wish I did) I find this topic very interesting and inspiring for creative SU use in general. And I must say that your painter images are amazing .

Cheers,
Mateo
