wow so much hatred! i have nothing to do with this particular project.
i just found it online and they seem to have used the model i posted

manhattan airport project with this sketchup model! hahaha

it looks like 2d voronoi in my opinion
for 3d voronoi there are plugins and scripts for
3ds max, rhino, and maya and sketchup.

for 2d voronoi, my choice was rhinoscript(pointset reconstruction) and grasshopper voronoi definition. grasshopper updated diagram automatically when i manipulate the point cloud (it was a bit buggy and couldnt calculate large number of point cloud). and after creating voronoi patterns it was projected on to a surface and exported it to sketchup.

here are some good examples of voronoi

and this was a little test i did last year

wow i cant believe you managed to import the file into sketchup!!
and its 1.35gb

hello everyone
i have been digging around internet for more detailed model and came across
a 3ds file with much more detail from central park to union square area
(With topography!)
i'm having trouble converting the file to sketchup for number of problems.

1. scale is too small
2. too much polygon count
3. model is oriented in weird angle
4. everything is on one layer but with each building grouped

i tried optimizing the file in order to import it into sketchup but after
two hours of importing, it came to an error

can someone help me import this 3ds into skp format?

i think the person who made the model
converted it from some other application.
i had no idea it was double faced

it usually takes my laptop about 5 minutes of freezing sketchup to load

The link to the skp file is right underneath the image

From what i remember, this is a sketchup model of Manhattan that I got this from sketchup forum from http://www.sketchup.com back in version 4. I looked through google sketchup forum but couldnt find the original post. This is not the most accurate model of manhattan but it comes handy when i needed 3d model of the city for my project.
file is about 27mb and credit goes to whoever made this model.

Hello everyone
after browsing around the sketchucation community forums for a year
i decided to model a violin for first time. i'm not good at rendering
but here is what i have so far

wow thank you!
that was super fast

hi
i'm trying to apply a wooden kerkythea texture to a subdivided shape that i made
and the result is texture applied to each triangulated faces of the geometry.
is there a way to smooth out the textures?
