I can't stop watching it.
This has to be the coolest video I've seen yet.

Thanks Boof!

This is indeed sad news

My first inspiration to want to be an artist. He had such awesome talent.
The world and concept art will not be the same without him.

There is a plug-in for Blender 3D that does what you are requesting. You could use it and import it into SketchUp.

Thanks everyone
Bob, I didn't make the cockpit clear because I was too lazy to do the interior.

And thank you Boofredlay for that awesome tutorial. I learned a ton about SketchUp from it

Hello all,
I wanted to share my SketchUp learning experience with you
Firstly I wanted to thank everyone here in this great community for your contributions and advice. I may not post much but, I’ve read a lot. Any question I had was answered with the search button
I wanted to do the airplane tutorial from Eric Lay (Boofredlay) that he had written for CatchUp #5 and here are my results. Granted I did things a little differently (that’s my thing ). A couple of screencaps from SketchUp and a couple of renders with the free Maxwell renderer:

I also wanted to thank all of the great plugin authors and their contributions to a fantastic program. The following are the plugins I used for this project:
From Fredo6:
Tools on surface
Fredo Scale
CurveLoft
Round Corners
From TIG:
Mirror
Extrusion Tools
From Brian ConCannon:
Face2Face

This tool is awesome
It works superbly. The only thing I encountered was that the two faces must be facing in opposite directions for the plugin to work (at least for me).
It makes things so much easier for me.

Thank you.

Thanks for the nice Christmas present
Wonderful set of tools

Wow...just WOW!
Being a big Studio Ghibli fan this is probably my favorite movie and you have done such a beautiful recreation. I don't know weather to be inspired or just give up

Those are gorgeous. Thank you so much

Absolutely superb!
The update is excellent, thank you
