thanx. this model actually reaked with detail...but a lot gets lost during the render...I have taught myself...a model is as good as its details. Candy 3 needs quite a bit of thought...i didn't actually thought of what would blow your minds.. ideas could be welcome...what you guys wanna see happen next

LOL NOw im getting the OMG's lol...yea...i fooled everyone who looked at this first time.. saying..hey look at my model...and they will just stare at the screen and say...so...wheres the model.. hee hee..
The last 3 images were rendered in Maxwell render, approx 3 hours each, 2 would have been fine too.

sketchup is the so far the easiest program on the planet to work on. Its just a lot of people do not really understand its power and spend thousands to buy expenve difficult programs to create high poly models like these. Yes sketchup is limited in ways, maybe su7 will help going that direction. lol

like i said..i said those last images are my jewels
Yes its my renders.. not the people...but the choppers are this chopper

thanx guys, i really had a blast. I So wanted to post something while this was under construction but tried to keep it in, and so under the lid as possible, to be released on the big day which is today of course. So do you guys have any questions? its this a better model than my previous one (eye candy 1)

silver_shadows eye candy 2: Black Hawk

Hi there again. I am sure you guys are glad to see me again. This is probably the most anticipated model building project I have ever taken on, trying to push sketchup’s limits more than I have ever imagined it would go. This was a 2 and a half month project and actually thought it would take longer, since I was doing this after hours. The final result was quite pleasing and wanted to do more, since I have modeled everything I could find on this helicopter, but time got the best of me.
I was inspired by this Blackhawk’s beauty that I could have build a lot of other types but it always came back to this. To me this is the most beautiful machine in the helicopter range and is probably one of America’s most useful machine during war, transport, evac and just have so many uses. I liked its body structure and looks. So here she is.

Specs:

Tools used: The icons listed below is what I have mainly used to construct the bird
Modelling time: 1 full month (if I add up the bits and pieces during the 2 months)
File size: 32.9mb
Rendering: tests took over a time of a week
Render engines: Introduction page (fryrender – first renders I have done on this application)
Assembly pages (sketchup v-ray)
Final presentation images (Maxwell render – first renders I have done on this application)

So here we go, how this bird was build, hope you guys like this, all my resources was acquired via going through hundreds of images and I tried to get it as accurate as it can be. After this trying yet but satisfying experience, this would be my last candy for 2008, but I will return in 2009 again. Be well, and thanks for being fans of extreme sketchup. PS: I want at least one omg lol.(swear words are allowed hee hee)

These are my jewels (not referencing images, but renders done in maxwell and final post processed in photoshop)

THANX GUYS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS ECT

silver_shadow

mine is doing the same as solos one. all works fine, when checking it in skp, nothing works.
do you mind sharing those fryrender sketchup plugins. Its no where else to find on any website than one place and it does not really seems to work. I really wanna try this, emailed fryrenders website, no reply, registered to go into fryrenders forums, no permissions to post anything..so im reallly really stuck. please please help

silver_shadow

its a set of tool called projection
i only like the last one the most..usefulldoing glass balaustrades ect.
you just need a line...click on the tool and specify where the line needs to be extruded...very simple and effective tool

silver_shadow

ok i blew my top for nothing lol. I found out that you draw your rivit first,on a surface...them you move it to the surface you build and it sticks to it like glue perpendicular to it, only downfall is you need to place that manually

the skippy.skp

silver_shadow

guys you know what would be super awesome... like those set of surface tools... but maybe for say move. You make a box and you want to put it on a curved surface. So activating this tool you move the box to the surface and it snaps BAM, the base of the box sits on the surface, now if you move it ANYWHERE on that surface.. it still snape to it untill you click again to release it. Im drooling over my dreams here hee hee

silver_shadow

so we can say at them moment there is no easy solution for this.
see my main thing is i want to make pop rivits on a curved surface... so just thought hey maybe there is easier ways of doing this rather than putting one by one down manually.. hee hee maybe a rubie will be born form this post lol,

silver_shadow

hmmm i think component spray works too, draw the path and use single entity and specify that it need to be perpedicular...and then you just click where you want it but it does not sove the spacing...then you need to put in every single one manually

silver_shadow

I have this problem... i want to copy this object along the curve of the surface bit it needs to staperpendicular to the face of the curve..is there any way to do this easily

silver_shadow

the sky i chose i wanted to show a specific part of the landscape and was not doing it 100% to my satisfaction to use as an hdri, so i photoshopped that in..
