C-ya !

i really need to start using LO .. i saw some amazing works aorund here. . and thats all i want ,, the possibility to create floorplans , with datas and etc .. i dont want to work with ca dprograms anymore. . i want to do everything i can in skethup ,, i will take alook at older posts and sse wich kind of infos i can find that helps me !!!

Cograt to u guys !!!

hey dude, , very nice !!

yeah ,, i am trying to design the plan floor at sketchup and export it to cad only to add somethings that i cant with su, or i think i cant. I really enjoy using sketchup. and id like to do everything in it.

But i miss some especific technical instruments .. like those cad things.. not the drawing but the technic part!!!

But . . thanks !!!! I try layout .. forgot about it .l. ive never used it really ,, !! Well ... cya!

Sorry guys ,, i dont know if i am posting it right. And sorry about the topic name but i couldt realize another one !

Well .. i ahvent found any info about this kind of thing. But lets try .... I dont know how u call it in english ,, but lets try.

I want to know if theres some good way , or some supoort, plugin, complement or etc that could we can use to draw that things we do in autocad.. i mean, those house's sketch, i usually import this cad file into su to work on it and build the 3d!

UHmm , anyway, id like to do in su what i do in autocad, that 2d plan that in sketchup i cant cause of some limitations like diferent line types for exemple .. so is there a way ? Or i must keep doing that at autocad?

Sorry about all this mess

Well guys here is my first project here at sketchucation.

really, ,u can use podium !! I mean ive seen some images u´ve done with podium and i really like it !!!

Hi there there dude ..

About the lights .. u want some soft light? With less hard borders?

About the wall ... depending on wich kind of wall you want, u can use variations of the same trick. Add a noise as bump map. U can control the type of roughness by increasing or decreasing noise´s size and also how strong or soft this effect will get with the multiplier.

A also use noise with water, carpets and many other things ! Noise is your friend !

Oh sorry ,,, my mistake .. well in this image tha trees are not part from the hdri they´re 2d trees located at the other side of the street .. The hdri is basiclly a bkue sky with clouds and mountains .. ive tryied another ones tih houses .. but all of them just reflect a small part in a big scale ..

I will try this dome thing !!! But anyway ,, is there a way to reduce or map how it will reflect !?!

is it too late to coment ? hope not lol !! Well im donwloading that and i really think this is fantastic ..

I enjoy doing this kind of work :

And with this plugin i think i have some new things to try ,,,

Oh yes .. uhmm i think i did something !! Thak u all !!

Well . here is the final image and two variations for this project who gave me some poblems .. well im studying vray , so all bad things at these images are not coincidences ... lol !! Im uploading it here, cause i think my images doesnt deserves gallery lol !!!

Ive seen sometopics talking about hdri and reflections .. but uhmm, lets see ..

Ive tryied in a diferent project, i couldt realize it. How it was a secondary detail, left it behind... now im trying again. Well .. i want things to reflect teh enviroment, but i dont want a bg and want sky as my source of light. This i way coundt apply a hdri map to any of these.. Well.. so ive apllyed a Hdri image to the reflection at the enviroment vray option.

UHmm ok .. the glass is reflecting .. but , a problem is the position ,, i have these maps , im trying to figure the way to apply each of them.. angular, cubic, mirror ball and etc , but doesnt matter how i do that i cant find a way to have my image all reflected. . i mean , just one piece is reflected its like the image is too big .. i have tryied to increase the number of repeations ( how do i write that?) .. but again, , the image is too big ,,, well here is a bulding im modeling ,, and ive applyed a hdri that would fit very well, that it could be reflect entirelly !!! C- u guys !

Oh fine ,,, good !!! And u use the pic for textures either ? or u look for similar ones ?

If you could take a pic from the front.. eith a straight angle .. u can get the exact size of the buildin at su !! But i thik its dificult !! LOl !!

Anyway ,, nice job , ,wish i do that someday !!!
