Hi Guys, and Galls

I am using Sketchup for a while now but never wanted to post anything (well I did once )
But now I am building a MechWarrior where I am proud of.

It is far from perfect and I have problems with anatomy and inspiration
Also the legs are to short I guess and the feet are a pain.

I included the SU file so maybe .. just maybe you can render it or change some bits so I can learn what to do

If not . thanks for watching

Model is inspired from the Hellhound from MechWarrior game

Cheers
Mike

I was flabbergasted most of the time..

one question:

Do you work on paper to make some sketches? if yes can you show some of those 'raw' paper sketches?

Make some tutorials while you at it

pretty nice work big 10+

hmm cannot see the pictures

Nice design and render...
What render app did you use...?

@solidseal said:

...those chairs have some ... rly interresting forms

You mean something like this chair designed by Fabio Novembre...??
(lots of inspiration for modelling and rendering...)

yep

nice work although In have to say that those chairs have some ... rly interresting forms

very nice .. looks like a robot for robot wars

Sir Kil-a-lot ftw !

Haha... No, not boozed - just got my eye operated on Tuesday and didn't want to start using the computer right after the operation. I'll hope to fix it today (although I hate poking around in obscure html codes)

Any progress yet ?

or still boozed

Or maybe one thing to model, broken into two parts. For example the Space Explorer could have been broken up so that newer users could have modeled the navigation wheel and buttons and more experienced users could have worked on the molded form. Take the best of each and put them together, then everyone can have fun rendering it. Just an idea.

nice one

to much organic parts is somewhat hard for lots of ppl I think.
but an organic shape like for example a bottle is doable for most.

make a poll

I used Vue for that and yes the materials are applied in SU and then in Vue I add reflection, gloss, bump, etc for the effect.

Okay, for the next model this challenge I was wondering if y'all want a serious organic challenge? or want something less challenging, maybe someone has something in mind.

Maybe 2 models

one for pro's and one for newbies
but then again .. I love to see the pro's at work .. and gives me alot of info.
Maybe I am going to buy subdivide and smooth cuz I think it is a must have.

@solo said:

I got one, I use it all the time, it is not to replace the mouse but rather to compliment it.
I use a mouse with my right hand and explorer with my left hand, together.

ah .. you have found a photo of my house .. I lost it .. thanks

nice job

@gaieus said:

Okay, thanks for the link. I will (try to) fix it tomorrow - not tonight (here) after the booze I've had.

hehe

Thanks in advance

Why are u asking!?

wel because when I create a sphere with 2 circles with 100s my pc has serious problems also when I take your model and I copy/move the upper layer of the connexion explorer it needs like 20 seconds to think cuz of the high polys I guess.
but I think your models are high polys also but it goes way smoother .. or are they low poly ? ( dont know all about polygons though)

Thanks!
Sorry i didn t kept the model without subdividing ..Maybe other time!

Elisei .. I have seen your vids @ tube making that supercar (posted there also )
I was just wondering. What kinda system do you have ?

My work so far
Not perfect but thats all I know about this programm

No plug ins used
and the big knob is a tad to big

could you post a link to that tutorial?
I changed a couple of things in another one (and yes, the css is screwed up).

Hi,

Playing with sketchup is even more addicting then I realized
so here I want to show you my first model of a Mouse and a render of it in Kerkythea

inserted the SKP file . maybe you can show me a better render of it
Cheers
