it seems like from an animation movie ...

creative and beautiful

very good

yes, there is something "special" in this room I really like ...

@fewdavid thanks for your comments ok for the fanclub

ps click on the link under the image , and then click on the image appeared to enlarge it .

yes, me too, I really like the style and the colours of your pictures ....

thanks for your comments

@Igor spend time your models and you will find the "details". It is really just a question of work

what is very cool with Sketchup is that it is really simple to use .....not a lot of tools to use(draw then push/pull) .Then let your imagination be your engine !

me, I usually work with a picture, first I try to do what I see, and then I change my model as I feel it .

aahhh ok ... I understand the volume now

nice !

some rendering I did with the matcaps of zbrush and photoshop .

I like this one very much ...your kind of art applied to something "real".

but I see it really bigger ! the human should be at least half the side he is now .

really nice ! I would like to live in it

yes, it seems that there is a lot of possibilities ! I understand when you say you have fun with doing this

I like your renderings, very differents and nice .

@Julius thanks !

how can I delete it ? If I erase it, a surface disappears ...

may be there is a pluggin for that

@Kwistenbiebel no...not yet, I wait for my new computer, I think I will have it next friday, then I will begin works with Zbrush too and colour/rendering with my Sketchup models .

thanks for asking

but you can see some "rendering" on my website (3d) . But I think I will do better mith my new machine

thanks Julius and Pilou ! yes components are very usefull

a train I did in old-futurist style

@ah ok ...are components usefull ? I will make inquiries about it .

thanks

a kind of amazon spider . the human part is from Makehuman

thanks !

@Durant Hapke how to make some lines invisible ? well, my model is not very clean .I mean that I usually work with symetry , doing only one half of my model , then I do a "mirror" .This time, the mirror I did was wrong . Normally, there is only one caudal appendice, now there is 2 .But i liked the result, so I repaired each half it piece by piece to have at the end something symetric and "closed" . the "invisibles lines" are the intersections of my 2 halfs , the volumes are crossed but the intersections are not drawn

I hope you understand my explanations

and I do like your machine, it is crazy ans funny, as you are may be I guess

hi Pilou yes...my moto in a pink sunrise ! looks nice

thanks for your comments ...

I
just bought a new computer, I think I will have it next friday .I will be able to work some colours and rendering of my Sketchup models ...

I am very impatient to have it

At the beginnig, that was a fly ...but at the end, Iknow it is an insect and I know that it flies , but I am not sure anymore of its name !

@kwistenbiebel yes you are right , I do my subdivisions and smooth with Zbrush or Blender if I need some

thank you everybody for your comments

that really encourages me

yes but these 2 are the only ones I like ...I tried others like the gun ...and it is really ugly .

but I work on it .

a moto I did today

thanks for the compliments

@HFM yes, the next step is rendering . The problem is that I don't know how to do . with 3D , I "come from" Zbrush and its matcaps which are very powerful for illustrations, I used then on my models with photoshop, you can see the results at my website http://www.jphurel.com/dossier3d/album/index.html

but with "mechanic stuff" it doesn't work, I tried a lot ...

so... I don't know ...may be do the rendering of mechanic parts in Kerkythea , use the matcaps for the rest and put it together in Photoshop ...I am still thinking about it .

but, you know....normals maps...displacement etc it is just ARGHHHH !!(that 's the french sound for "mmh I think I will just explode in a very near future ")

the best I did for rendering with Sketchup models with matcaps and photoshop are these
