Beautiful desk, great model and very nice rendering.
If I built this desk, I would leave out the center portion and plant that desk in front of a window with a peaceful view of the garden and while away my days contently.
Very Cool. I did a SketchUp of a Shaker clock featured a couple years ago in Popular Woodworking Mag and submitted it to their collection at the 3D warehouse. Here's a link.
Here's a quick update on the status of my web site, http://www.Creeksidewoodshop.com. I have rewritten every page so that it conforms to standards and is now usable for web browsers other than MS-Explorer. Thanks for your comments and support.
Thanks all for your comments, they are well appreciated. Hazza, I never thought of the term “surface vs. complete modelers”, but you are correct. When I first started to use SketchUp I was a surface modeler and was happy just to be able to draw and view something in 3D vs 2D. Now I find more value in using a complete 3D drawing to build furniture from than a 2D drawing. I don’t draw anything in 2D anymore.
Peweuk, thanks for your kind comments. I really can't say for sure how long it took me to arrive at the final SketchUp model. The 1st draft really only took me 2 to 3 hours, but then I spent maybe 2 to 3 more changing and tweaking the drawing to arrive at the design that I was satisfied with. As for the render, all of the setup was done in SketchUp. I used a 2 sided room & floor and added 2 or 3 lights above the cabinet to get the lighting that I wanted. The SU model was then exported into Kerkythea with out change. Ron
