I think you mean borrowed...since we are slaves and we don't have any time of our own to spend we have to ask our masters for the time and they will loan it to us with interest and penalties.
Ok so let's say you are a multi-billionare...hey it could happen....anyway what in the heck are you going to do with that money...i mean think about it if you personally are in control of a billion dollars are you going to walk down to joe's bank on the corner and go to the teller and open a checking account...are you going to give that money to joe the financial guru and trust him to give you good advice...or are you going to create your own bank and do your best to insulate yourself from the poor schleps who only have hundreds of millions of dollars. So the notion that a group of multi-billionaires have banded together to formulate a plan to maintain their wealth is not far fetched.
The Results
Twelve out of twelve answers are correct. Excellent-- a perfect score and a superior performance.
look for imperfections...like the light bulb has a funny dent or bend to the metal that makes the reflections slightly different. But the imperfections are not at a "placed" place i mean they need to be at a place that they would actually occur. Look at the textures do they look to perfect if they do than it's CG. Look at the teddy bear picture one of the bears is just slightly of kilter...there is just a natural randomness to the photograph but in CG the randomness seems forced.
just my 2 cents.
I don't like how the floors just POP in all of a sudden. They should fade in or come in gradually like the walls and other areas are appearing. I understand why it's happening but I think it's not consistent with the remainder of the animation.

Speechless...these tanks are awesome. Sketchup and the talents of it's users never ceases to amaze me.
very cool indeed. I think you should post this in the gallery section to get more attention to it. This is a very cool thing that dynamic components can do that I don't think most users even think is possible.

aw phil, that's too bad.. you must be an old guy.. i'm still seeing 20/20 and they're coming in clear to me..
then this image should really get you excited.
I don't think they print 1 dollar bills I'm not sure what the lowest denomination paper currency is but it probably 10,000 or 100,000 dollars
Ah that was too easy now convert that to Zimbabwe dollars (ZWD)

1 US Dollar = 37,456,777 Zimbabwe Dollar
1 Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWD) = 0.00000003 US Dollar (USD)
Median price = 37,410,030 / 37,456,777 (bid/ask)
Minimum price = 37,410,030 / 37,456,777
Maximum price = 37,410,030 / 37,456,777

I'm just a voyeur into this conversation but I have to say its absolutely great to see the collaboration between users, third party developers and Google developers happening. I've always known why SU was so successful but it's nice to be reminded of it now and again. I hope you can collaborate and come up with a solution but more importantly please keep this dialog and exchange of ideas flowing as this is the heart of what makes SU successful.
Welcome to the forum...That's a great model you've created. I imagine you better have ear plugs in when that thing goes off.
Yes Sketchup does have a scale limit which could be the cause of your inability to close off something. Also could be a memory issue. Try to isolate just the surfaces surrounding the area you need to fix and make them a component, then save that component as a separate file IE: right click on the component and select save as. Now open that component in sketchup...now you are only working with a few polygons and see if you can close up the open hole. if that works save that component and then re-open your model then you can select the component in your model and right click and select reload and reload the newly saved "FIXED" component and badda boom badda bing you have a fixed hole. IF for some reason you are unable to fix the hole in the isolated component you could try to scale up the component and then try to fix the hole...that way you are only scaling up the isolated area and in a separate file and are not affecting your entire model. If you are able to fix the hole when it is scaled up you could then scale it back down and then save the component and then open the model and reload. you will need to be careful about the scaling up and down as it might change the component origin point.
Anyway welcome to the forum and hope to see more of your posts.

Bonzai Beta crashed within 2 minutes of trial..on basic stuff. It's definitely "NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME". Ive been using sketchup since version 1 and to this day I have never lost more than a few minutes of work. It's the most stable and trustworthy program I have ever used. I know sketchup like the back of my hand. They are going to have to pry the mouse out of my hand when I stop breathing and most likely the application running at the time will be SU.

I thought it was a fitting car for the cartoon style of the image.
Here is a straigt-up Sketchup sketchy style.
I consider sketchup styles as renderings.
