I don't know if it is belgium or french style ! let's just say it's mine 
thanks for all your coments , it helps me to continue !
I prefer the Sketchuip render too .
I use this tutorial . Work only with Sketchup 6 .
yes, I think attachments is a good thing to do for pictures
mon dernier , modélisation Sketchup , colorisation Photoshop
c'est une moto radioguidée , les béquilles sont en fait les antennes et se relèvent à l'horizontale quand la moto roule . La loupiote rouge est une caméra .
Le deuxième rendu a été fait avec Blender et montre la moto en mode "course"
thanks alex 1811 
here is a new picture of the same moto, and a new render with Blender and Photoshop
comme dit Eulgrand , je pense que le joint pushpull est le mieux ! selection des faces,joint pushpull,joint pushpull, appuies sur tab pour afficher les options, a la place de "erase original faces" , choisis "thickening" , fais ton extrude et voilà
you did this after one week of practice !!?
excellent render ! 
you used the free version of Shaderlight ?
my last work , a robot moto, I was imspired a lot by the confederate fighter
the model in Sketchup and a render in Blender 2.53 .
@sergio non, en fait GM ça veut dire Google Men , on le voit sur le côté du bus ( mais à la base ça voulait bien dire General Motors) je parlais des autres lettres, i b w p w c, c'est pour is beautiful what please without concept, la version anglaise de la signature de Pilou .
@Pilou, d'ailleurs je t'ai donné la solution sur un autre forum ....là on a l'impression que je te l'ai donné sur ce topic ...
ahlalala , il a encore des cigales plein la tête Pilou
@psylo merci
pour le poids du fichier , 27,6 mo et environ 400 000 polys .Ca rame un peu à l'affichage mais ça peut encore aller .
@Pilou je vois pas du tout ce que tu veux dire 
et elles veulent dire quoi les lettres sur le bus ?
@adebeo ok si ils te demandent comment il fait le sous marin pour nager dans la piste tu te débrouilles tout seul 
@vick non je connais pas du tout 
@sergio merci . oui , bien vu le recul et l'humour , c'est exactement ça
yeah but with tinypiv, for 2 months, i have to write a capcha for each image uploaded......for this work it means about 50 capcha ....

well , first you draw a form that will be the half of the leaf (a rectangle on my example), then you draw lines on it
then you use the offset tool on all the faces
then you erase the lines you draw at first , and the faces created with the offset
you select it and make a mirror to have the complete leaf. Then you use the "radial bending by selection of plane and angle "
not very pretty on this example because there are not enough faces but you get the idea
and that's it !
it took me a day to do it
someone sent me a pm to tell me that my thread freezes his system ...does anybody gets the same problem here ??
the smartdrop is so excellent !!!
and the components seems to be very usefull too !
thanks a lot massimo
thanks very much for answering , I will try it
hello everybody
I am looking to a pluggin to rotate an object so it can be parallele to a selected face .
I explain
I work on a project , a car race, and the track is composed of curves . I have 20 vehicles and I would like to do pictures of the vehicles on differents places of the track . I already began , and it is a nightmare to put them precisely , one by one . 
here is a picture of the track
thanks a lot for your help
Happy Birthday Eric and Sid
