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 ?

AaRON "Artificial Animals Riding On Neverland" à la Salle Pleyel

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

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.

Happy Birthday Dave +++

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

That is a nice website that this links to Simon. Thanks.

Dear Dale, I'm pleased you've noticed it

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)
