Here is my 2009 Trojan Cobra WIP. Still looking like a Mustang but now starting to look more like the new GT.
Total re-modeling time: 3 hours (more to come)
Poly count: 10,000
With wheels: 55,000
Estimated Final: 65,000
Tell me what you think
Oh....and another wheel. I hope you like it

Hello bahjon12, welcome to SCF and thanks for the comments.
The tool you are reffering to is the arc tool. You can also use the circle tool aswell.
When selecting the tool and typing a number and pressing Enter/Return you can change the amount of sides you will have in your arc or circle. You can also turn the arc or circle into editable edges but exploding it.
Both the arc and circle tools can be found on the getting started toolbar in SketchUp
I suggest you take a futher look at the Tutorials and browse the 3DWarehouse and YouTube for other helpful stuff:

Stop spamming other peoples topics! Rogue, these are nice renders but I think if you overlay the Sketchup line work it will help break up all that paint... just make sure the lines are subtle, just my opinion!
Thanks for the interest. How do you suggest I do that?
I have deleted all the other files and a few other really pointless ones.
Here they are:

Thanks soooo much for the conversion. I dont know why my photoshop wouldnt convert them.
This is what was happening when I was batch converting in Photoshop. It would convert the first one perfectly and all the rest would end up as just a conversion. No resizing and at low quality
JPG.zip
Those earlyer links are not valid anymore. I have removed them from my skydrive. I can re-upload them if you want me to.
I had a look at some of the blueprints, whooo, some a really poorly made!
Again, thanks all for your help.
Photoshop CS2 just has a problem batch converting files. It isnt a well made plug-in. I dont currently ahve CS2 installed on my cmputer because it craped out a couple of days ago but when i gt it re-installed I will give you an example of what is happening.
I have opend them in photoshop and resized them perfectly. They are made in coreldraw so they can be resized and keep perfect quality. I just need a way of batch converting them. IrfraView cant do it so i need something else.
Well, to fix the problem I had to start again with my computer. I had to revert it to factory setup 
But I did save all my files 
Here are those GM ones you wanted Alan Fraser: http://xmdolg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pES43upt6UBTpkuA_ykcMJRaaugIWhdRADV8mIBnfRssLRpITdLR1EJKt-MQr6IhZhse4z1IzpafdBWc4IzXjVA/GM.zip?download
I want to turn the vectorial .eps file into a high-res .jpg image so I can use it in SketchUp for 3D modeling. A .eps file is useless to me otherwise.
If IrfanView can't do that then I'll need another program to batch convert the images.
Chris Fullmer, if you are able and willing to convert the images fine to how I need them can you convert the ones from the following file: http://xmdolg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p2gygMqsEnKuNiI4ooxWLEo0vyx96jBw8fAs58ECdnbtZzsndLVpNnWeOaNhTjLITvIhk846GaOde48JGJljQZA/eps.zip?download

So tell me if you can make from a JPG or PNG format a batch process 300% ?
so I can transform eps on any format you prefer
make also 300% will be not practical because file will be too big for uploading
300 % = 500 kb * 1953 = 1 giga!
100% = 75 KB * 1953 = 150 megas!Ps Seems you have send twice the sames files!
What format do you want?
I dont quite understand what you are trying to say...
I am wanting to batch convert the .eps images from the .rar archives from the links above.
So, the images will be converted from the default .eps, size: 700x400 into .jpg, size 1750x1000 and I want them to still be the same high quality.
That means an increase in resolution by about 3x
@unknownuser said:
You must have no problem for make the same!
I have tried in many diffent ways but I cant get it to convert well.
Here is the full archive of files(both parts needed):
Part 1: http://xmdolg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p4rfa-CPRoRHPVNciBXQto3aDzv6fpQ4Pzq8DFSYpsrGWX9xF9kvtFYuJvm-FemB7eG0oI3TzfbpR3NXP4MsfqQ/EPS.part1.rar?download

Could you upload a group of 10 or something for us to play with? I'm cofused why the fist one works and then it breaks after that. I've never encountered that and I run a lot of batches. But I've also NEVER worked with .eps files.
Chris
Here is a zip file of 10 mazda images in .eps format.

If you manage to convert these files to a high quality and to 300% size would you be willing to batch convert the rest?
The original .eps files are of infanitely resizeable quality but this is a sample of what happens when i convert them (I had to decrease the size of the image, eventhough, it is still really bad quality
The lines should be smooth and sharp and that strange pattern should be grey.
Thanks Pilou
But the conversion isnt very good. It converts all to the correct size and eventhough the files are made in coreldraw and can be resized without quality loss they still have quality problems. The lines turn out rough and the colours turn into weird patterns....
I guess its the best I'll get, thanks for the help.
They are looking very good. I am amaized at how much you have actually done and how good they look. I started to use the same tyre and brakes on most of my wheels. Saves me haveingto spend hours fidiling around with a new mesh.
I hope to see more wheels from you.
BTW are you still uploading to the 3dwarehouse, if not, I wish you would.

I have been putting together some of my helpful links into a blog and came across this batch convertor called Picture Resizer available at http://www.rw-designer.com. It looks very handy but havent given it a wizz yet.
http://sketchuplinks.blogspot.com/2008/12/picture-resizer.html
You can thank me later.
PS If you do give it a "wizz" can you please let us know what you thought of it thanks.
Cheers Jeff
I downloaded and tried it. It is just an app for re-sizing .jpg images. Thanks for the help though. I had a play around with it to see if it was good at what it was made for. It was a bit confusing and needed a bit of reading to understand how it worked but it seemed to do its job.
It wasn’t quite what I was looking for but thanks anyway

it's free, works very fine!
I had a look and I had actually used this program before for a different reason with no result. I had a crack at it with the .eps files. I had to download the ghostscript but I just get an error message every time i try to convert. It just says "Error! Can't load" and "Can't load PlugIn: POSTSCRIPT.DLL"
Oh well...Thanks for the help
Hello
I have recently acquired a whole lot of images, 1500+, in .eps format. I am wanting to convert them all to .jpg while resizing them all by 300% and keeping the quality. I tried Photoshop CS2 but it only resizes the first image properly and the rest end up pixelated. All the images can be resized fine individually but that would take days of straight manual converting
I was looking for a program to convert and resize .eps images that is free but couldn’t find anything that worked. What can I do or is there a way to get around that problem in Photoshop?
The method I was using is at the following url

did you try the "help" button?
The help button doesn’t help at all, it is completely useless and I know enough about computers to not need to use it. I have contacted Microsoft about it but they have not responded as of yet. It is affecting Live and msn etc, both common Microsoft websites. Both just say that there is a the page load error "Network timeout". It also affects my windows update, I can’t update at all. I get bombarded with a whole lot of unrelated error messages and no matter how much I research into the error codes I reach no useful conclusion.
I know all of the things I could do to fix the problem, I have read all relative faqs on the official Microsoft website and have tried all solutions but nothing changes. It’s a computer software problem. Something to do with a message I received when I started my computer a while ago. It said something about an unauthorised change had occurred, something to do with the authentication or validity of my OS. Microsoft said the error message is just an error itself. I have already read everything to do with it but nothing fixes it. I went to the Microsoft website to try the manual updates but it said it couldn’t because of an unknown error and suggested I verify that I was a computer administrator. And, of course I am. I always have been and still am. I am the only one who uses this computer and I know that no one else has accessed it without my permission and supervision so no changes could have occurred without my permission.
I have changed nothing that could have done this so It’s just a vista problem. I have had many software problems with vista before, blue screens, sudden shutdowns, start up errors all the time and explorer cashes when unzipping files, showing videos icons etc. I think Microsoft needs to get a clue as to how their OS actually works and some of the problems with it. They need to communicate with their help staff so they actually know what causes certain problems. Every time I contact them they refer me to some unrelated thing or just have no idea what I am talking about. They are really useless and if anyone thinks other wise then they obviously have never contacted Microsoft for help.
Until the problem is fixed my computer usage will be stunted as I cannot access my Skydrive or update my computer.
