Hi Robert,

I'm not able at all to help this translation..
But here are some additional links to this wonderful stadium

taken from here

Here is a chinese Sketchup model of the National Stadium of Pekin National Stadium_v0.skp which is dealing with that sort of questions and is very interesting to dismount...

(taken from:
archINFORM)

I have worked on it for a friend who was asking me quotations, cause he was to install a "Spider Cam" on it for a manifestation...

Rover: a single singer with his only one guitar for sweet ballads .(his guitar: a Rickenbacker but due to the so little lights I can't say what model it is ?

It is very evident in such a case that the question of the details is asked: What is the "Fine Line" where do you stop ?

Some people loves, some other don't.
They are fine and friendly

simon

Woao! Classy!

and please forget la "trompette de poche"

I played drums in my youth. Now I filmed them

simon

Dear Eric,

This one is (virtually ) for you!

I have found this nice little "trompette de poche" in one of those shops which are taking advantage of the proximity to "Salle Pleyel" in Paris. I had taken the picture thinking it will be one day for you. It is the good occasion to deliver it to you I guess.

friendly,
simon

( phone reply )
Thank you so much dear Slaven + +

This one was done with a mouse. I now have a super tablet.
Sculptris is a good choice, but you have to manage import export, and simplify the mesh.
Help this with Meshlab is a good idea.
Re: both softs are portable

Hi dear Tim

I'm very touched!
In fact I can't remember a modeling I have done into SketchUp which equal for long what Numb delivers to us here.

You may think rather to things I had modeled with Sculptris I guess. This dedicated soft to organic is far easy in comparison...

@unknownuser said:

@simon: nothing misterious about it, my friend. I used SDS and tools from Fredo6 Collection.

It's not often that we see such a mastering of organic modeling into SU . I would had preferred some little nice secrets which would had made things easy

+++simon.
ps:

reminds me some movies

I recognize Predator and Robocop

Hi Dear Numb

I find your models extremely fine ++
I would wish to know what sort of tools and techniques are involved into these works and mainly the SketchUp part . But of course, If secrets are, no offense if you keep them.

Dale,

you probably need an assistant in the manufacture of your furnitures. It seems that this one has yet to be trained.

Good. What are you rendering it with? It looks like Kerkythea. IMO a little (bit more enhanced?) bumpiness would add to it. Of course, eventually there needs to be some environment or a render to look good (even for the reflections as there needs to be something reflected of course)
