thanks for your comments 
I really like this house made with wood and glass .
I saw you put a tree (wood) , may be you could put a river (glass )too in the scene . So the house may symbolize these 2 materials of nature .
very simple and imaginative 
i like the composition , very simple and efficient and ....
a spider and its web, skeleton with handcuffs on the wall, 4 lines with one crossing them on the wall,one of these excellent french cheese delicately put in the ray of light of that quiet morning , or just the shadow of someone sat on the floor , a key on the floor, feet walking at the window ...
anything that can tells us a story ... 
I just wanted to put some volumes made with "Topmod" (the tree and the sun)in a little scene .
and as I won't make a render for this one, I drew some lines , the peacok's tail and the stairs .







yes , it looks nice . 
I like the colours and the light .
the only thing to do now is to hang on and keep working . 
ps: we don't see the tube when it is in the light of the mouth ...
thanks 
the buildings and the spider amazon are works I did 1 month ago . But for the all scene,including buildings and spider ama , it takes about 36 hours .
I really like the first hand .and it seems that there is no limits except your imagination with vray and displacement 
very nice 
thanks princedragoncok
for my next one , I will try to do a "meca", I am not sure of the name in english . it's a kind of war robot .
and to make an animation with it 
but for today I made the fight between spider amazon and spiderman .
the story:
spider amazon arrived on earth with her carousel (yes I know
)to destroy her ennemy, spiderman . she made a giant web in the city and captured an innocent victim (me actually, that's my avatar I made with sketchup, but you can see it entirely at my website http://www.jphurel.com/). she asked her cross-bow robots to slow spiderman with their arrows while she , as a sniper , shoot him .
the "buildings" and the "spider amazon" are 2 works I did few weeks ago . I did the carousel and all the "little stuff" for this story .
once upon a time in a forest ...
mmh no

something is wrong in the city ...

@Didier Blur mmmhh you are in the english part of the sketchup community
may be you should write in english 
@russellbeta said:
maybe i should make a seperate thread for this topic
yes may be 
but it is amazing that you posted this here because I have exactly the same questions on a project i think about . It 's a building, and, as yours, something "big" with details and I wanted to make a kind of "movie", a camera that flies around it and shows us the outside and the inside .... in the sketchup scene (without colours or textures , just the shadows from the sun), but I didn't know if that is possible so...I don't know ....let's see if we will have an answer here but may be the best for your project (and mine) is that you create a new thread !
@russelbeta no i did no research on Kerkythea, it is just that I need a free photorealist engine with no limits of size and a friend told me about Kerkythea. I have just been on the website and I like the gallery 
thanks russelbeta for your comment !
for the "hardlines" of makehuman, I wanted to keep them for these pictures because I want these "creatures" to look like "robots" and not like robot with human part . But thanks for the "smooth edges" , I keep it
.
for the moment, my approach for rendering is to apply differents matcaps in Zbrush to my volume, then to exports these pictures in PSP and put them together to have a nice picture . 
I don't use a rendering motor yet, but I will soon . I heard about Podium and the limits of the size of its rendering for the free version ...That's why I think that I will use Kertkythea instead of it . It seems to be a good one and no limit for size rendering .
and you are right,bezier seems to be usefull, I downloaded it and will use it
