How would I animate the door? Using physics or something like that?

It is, but there are always things that I can improve in my next works .

This is very cool, you just can't hate SketchUp, everyone loves it !

A year ago (I was a fifth-grader) I did a project for arts in wich I taught the arts-teachers and later on a class of secondgraders SketchUp in a few lessons. After that, the arts-teachers made it a project for the secondgraders, in which they were instructed to model their house in SketchUp and modify it into a big villa.

I haven't got any video or other media of that...

SketchUp is just a wonderful programme, it can be used for all sorts of things in primary school, secondary school, studies and even by professional architects and designers.

Thanks a lot ! You guys haven't got any criticism, things I could improve?

In the Netherlands, you gotta do a big project (80 hours of work per person) to be able to get your high school diploma, so I chose to design a pavillion for the World Expo 2015 in Milan that represents the Netherlands and model it in SketchUp (the choice of your subject for the project is entirely free) (I want to go study architectural engineering after I finished my high school ). Walkthrough video:

In the video there's some explanation about what the building means, what it stands for etc.

Looks really nice, I hope you get the lighting well at the rendering part. A month ago I was on a schooltrip to Rome and there was this American man at the entrance asking someone who worked at the Pantheon: "Where's the pantheon?" while he was standing inside the Pantheon for God's sake. We laughed to death...

How do you make those highly detailed models? I got a pretty good, recent PC but when I'm modeling big and detailed things, SketchUp is really slow..

Wow, pretty cool! I'm really looking forward to that video .

Some comments would be nice.. I never get why my work sometime isn't commented and when it is commented, it's just two times for example. Other topics are commented at least ten times, and I don't even reach five. Isn't it good enough? Isn't it worth to be posted on this forum? If you guys are only interested in photo-realistic renders, then I'm off here. Is it that I'm 17 and that you guys, who are all over 30 years and got a job as architect, designer or something else like that, don't take me serious because of my age? If you think that I don't like negative criticism: I do, because I can make my crap better with it. Ok, enough blabla. I'm not begging for comments, I just want to know why.

Fixed some things and made new textures. Rendered with Vray (click for enlargement to 2048x1536 for nice details):

Yeah, but the Colosseum was quite a big model and though I have a very good pc, the model is very heavy for my computer and makes my computer run very slow. If I'd have added more details, it would be my computers death...

Yeah, I fixed that and finished the model.

Finished the model:

Yeah I tried styles but then I get this:

Not all 'edges' are displayed..

New try:

Combined these two images:

Result:

Wow, this is crazy shit The only criticism I can think of is that the ship looks pasted. Make the light on the ship a bit less bright.. Wow..

Watercloset! WC > toilet.

Thisone is pretty easy, but I just HAD to make it:

Hi,

For economics we had to creat a plan to set up something. We chose for a lunchroom. I'm doing that with two other guys and the biggest goal for me was to design the lunchroom. First we chose a building where it'd come. After that we went to the city hall to request the blueprints and got them. Today I started modeling it and finished it also, in around 8 hours. Before I already made a logo (also in SketchUp) which was assignment for art (to design a logo). I used many models from the warehouse, because that saves me a lot of time, and it doesn't look too bad: the teacher doesn't see that difference at all. There is a basement in the building and a second floor. The basement isn't modeled, but will be used for depositing the products etc. which can be brought down with a lift, which also isn't modeled (the lift is located in the kitchen). Please note that this is fictive..

Click on the logo to go to the page with screens I've made:

Some comments would be really great, because I'd put them in the report which must be delivered tomorrow before 23:59..

Ok, so the right one really isn't a photo? Only the background reminds me of a render..

It looks good but I think that the tank has too much reflection on the renders. A tank isn't supposed to have any reflections, I think, otherwise it would be visible.
