Are you gonna dress yours up?

im not sure how much i want to do with this one. but i took some images about whats happening underneath this and in the interior.. those blings its up to us again.. btw these jeepneys varies from region to region. but i like those in pampanga where they make graffiti out of the, and inside were equipped by dolby speakers and dancing, mirror lights.

Momer,
love all the modelling you have done. About the Jeepney, I rode quite a few times when I spent 6 months in the refugee camp in Bataan. Those were the days... have a great time there.
must be vietkieu.. my wife is viet too. bataan quiet close to my province pampanga. you can for sure know the context most of the things i love to model are filipino related. thanks for dropping jchau2007

Philippine Jeepney.. Work In Progress.

Pampanga native province Christmas Lanterns

Traditional Cooking stoves.. Only during Christmas.

Back to basic.. Sketchup[img] Modeling skills. Recently I focused more in honing my Modeling which is already rusting. I call this back to basic, because i really want to shift some of my tutorials from rendering to modeling. It was not really popular with the community of visualizers in the Philippines because of overly dependent with Pre-existing models like 3d warehouse and evermotions. I am glad that the passion is winning new converts in focusing more on modeling aspects..

Just want to share some of the experimental, revisits and some for passion in giving back to the motherland..

1. Ifugao Mask

2. Folded Tshirt

oganocoli was right just use fresnel refelction and blurrying it

andy that is cool tests.

if its using wattage then biased render cant replicate that.

very nice model... love it.

i dont know. the first image is very easy to achieve even in vray sketchup.. why dont you learn from the setting of the different guys here. Look for those MTM (mini the makings) download the pdf tutorials and see it for yourself. there is no quick quick stuff in learning. understand why these guys are doing them like that..

download all the MTMs here.. http://www.sketchupvrayresources.blogspot.com

i will recommend pixplant.
