Oohhh... Please share this model...!!
I would add some piquancy models from Daz3D - you know, where you see some skin, but not in a bad way, but where there's something left for the imagination...

My wife is also a great fan of these books...
Haven't read them myself, but I'm also a big fan for sure...

Hi there! Flashes of skin would be alluring indeed! I'm glad you appreciate my lighthearted SketchUp project - it would appear that not everyone does (I've got a few 'dislikes' on my inital post...oops!!). I'm not sure how easy it would be to upload the entire 3D model, the bed is very geometry heavy!!

Your wife clearly has great taste in books! I CANNOT wait for the movie!!

Ahh, I have to agree with Solo about the subject. I think to make the room really steamy, add some haze... for effect! I'm sure it will add to the feel. Even if it isn't accurate, add a candle or incense would be appropriate here! Thank for pushing Sketchup to the next level. You are now my new SketchUp hero.., ahem, I mean heroine! Love it!

Thanks! You're probably right about the candles/haze etc. and I did consider candlelight but this was purely an exercise to create THAT room to the exacting descriptions in the book! SketchUp heroine??!! I like that!! I like that A LOT!!

@jo-ke said:

nice idea.

Cool renderings

Thanks

Daniel, of course I read the books!! I've read all 3 more than once!!

@andybot said:

hah! how do you top that?
Nice renders...

These are without a doubt the best renders I've ever done and not because of the subject!!

@rich o brien said:

i'd make suggestions...

but writing 'the material on the sex swing need tweaking' just doesn't feel right.

C'mon, you know it feels so damn right!!

Where's the gimp?

This is total filth, well done!

Isn't it?! And what awesome filth it is!!

@solo said:

Is this based off the upcoming movie set or just your imagination?

I could be wrong but this may indeed be the first porn set modeled with SU, well done.

Haha! I didn't think of it in that way!! These images are based on the actual descriptions in the first book and NOT my imagination!!!

Yes, you heard right. Slightly unorthodox? Yep. A wee bit risque? Absolutely. But I couldn't help it. I'm a fan (rightly or wrongly) of the Trilogy and when I heard last week that the release of the official trailer was imminent, I decided to create a few 3D Visuals of the infamous 'playroom'.

What's the point in having all of this amazing 3D modelling/rendering software, if you can't have a little fun now and again??!!

Anita

P.S. I know that you guys like to impart constructive feedback, so before anyone mentions that the room is too dark: it had to be!! The lighting had to be moody, dark and mysterious. You can't have a brightly lit room of this nature, it just wouldn't work!

Thought I'd have a little fun in my downtime...yes. I consider this fun. Clearly, I have serious problems!

Anita

Guys, thanks for the feedback. I'll consider these points when completing my next project.

Anita

Sure, why not! Go for it

Thanks for your input! Yes, my goal is to make the renders look as real as possible. Mike's only critique was on the size of the wheels. what exactly are you referring to in these scenes that you don't feel makes the overall images look real?? I'm asking purely to get a better understanding of your feedback

@mike amos said:

Just a quick observation of something I missed before, the wheel units on the pallet coffee table are quite over sized. Or it might be me.

Hi Mike, thanks for your input. These coffee tables are available in wide range of styles; from quite small wheels to large ones. I actually prefer the larger wheels

@pixero said:

Nice images but...being a swede, they don't look very swedish to me.

Thanks. I'd be inclined to agree to be honest. Not my design but the Designer apparently drew inspiration from Scandinavian design. It may not be a literal interpretation but I can see where she was coming from.

Thanks Bryan

Victor, thank you. I'm glad you like it. I use the Maxwell Render suite.

Guys, a little update! Maxwell Render recently published the 'Making of' case study I did for them. You can check it out here: http://www.maxwellrender.com/index.php/gallery/case_studies/0/21

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it

@mike amos said:

Seriously late to the party here but, nothing strange mate, all good. Sounds like the business is taking off in a good way. Hope it continues, stay well.

Mike, you're not late at all. Here, have a beer. Thank you, I hope it continues too

@castromann said:

Impressive - Congratulations!

Thank you!

@chedda said:

I didn't model it Neets i found it on archibaseplanet in .3ds form. Maxwell makes the rest very easy as you know Your right it's an important milestone to get recognised and appear in the gallery. I have been trying to get on Ronen Bekerman's pick of the week now that's really difficult !

You're so right about Ronen's pick of the week!! I've tried to get on there myself and he keeps ignoring me! Grrrrrrr!!
