interesting idea, wanna see how it turns out

Duuuuude that looks like SOOOOO much fun!!! Id never go to bed and work 24/7 on it.
Keep it up, looks really fantastic!! Bravo

this twisted building must have taken you some headacked and time to build hey.
Nice modelling

that 15 hour render s quite heavy waiting time hey.
I love your trains, yo ushould do a cowboy scene in the mountains. good work

what program did you use for rendering

stunning work as usual! I love it!

not bad for first renderings

nice work! When are you posting more stuff, we are all interested in seeing more

looks good, kinda as if it were made by hand

the roof was build as a single plane, then used joint push pull to give it depth.
Then i just dumped a projected texture over it, used these ones from this site

http://www.cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=7528&PHPSESSID=8c15e745d9e197588c9c3888de8869cb

and then for the edge i photoshopped it really quickly using a stamp tool with a round pointy brush for a brush stamp.
That was pretty much that.
Luckily it did not deform the texture too much when i did the projected texture.

you got my attention dude. Really nice model , love models with a lot of detail
One always start off, very excited and during the time you get bored building it because it take soo long to model, till then you add detail and cant stop doing it because it makes the model come alive.

You should make the cockpit window flip open, and a side panel next to it, to get easier into the plane. Also then you can see some inside panel detail, underneath the glass fixtures details and inside the cockpit itself which will look awesome. dont worry about poly count..su will handle it. I have a model over 3 mil poly count and su still holds.

nice one biebel!! looks like its cabana week! everyone is posting some kind of thatch structure hee hee

12 panel each one is a A1 sheet.So the presentation was quite a huge board

w w! superb images! how did you render the elevations in vfsu?

you choose an elevation in sketchup, no perspective..set up the shadows and make sure you got the new vray installed and render it using the default camera

Well i must say..i like vetorworks a bit more than autocad. But it comes down to user preferences.
You can draw just a sfast as you can in autocad if you get to know it better and set up some basic shortcuts, and it also do have a 3d package in it, really bad, but overall i like it. worth while learning it.
It has got layers, classes and saved sheets. Layers you can group all your pens which is switched on and off into layers and have them as groups switched on or off. It has got viewports also. Further on on the new vectorworks 2008 you have pens and fills you can make transparent, like if you want to make glass, draw in a class you set up called glass and give it transparency like su and it will show it like that in cad, anything behind it will still show depending on transparency.So id say its not a bad program to learn and also quite easy to learn it too. If you walk into a firm not knowing vworks, ill bet you you will be running the program by the end of the week, if no one really helps you.

Hey nomeradona, congrats on your prize on podium!!

I think Free Agent has doen a great job on this model. I really like it. Hi 5 Free, keep it up!!

The plans were done in Vectorworks, exported to pdf, and imported to photoshop cs2
The elevations were done in Su, rendered in Vray and touched up in cs2
Sections were first made from su, brought into vectorworks for cleanup and then pdf and cs2
But final composition were made in Photoshop. Glad you like it

we entered a competition but did not get it, pitty...it would have been interesting to see it go up.
The bungalow is still happening tho

I am doing now su for 4 years and vray for about 2 years. Self taught. Me and Free agent used to work together and we helped each other to get into sketchup and vray. Sketchup is easy to learn and a lot of plugins helps you to do better models in quicker time. Thats what makes su so great. Vray is kind of a steep learning curve, but once you kinda know how to use it, you can use it in other platforms too. The interface is the same in other applications. So its a good thing to learn it. You can contact me if you need help, and ill help and support where i can. In modeling or in vray.
