I used Squirlz Morph too for what I needed it and it worked great, so thanks guys.

Maybe by : Kmz-->Blender-->OBJ (or 3DS) ?

how can i do this ... whats a displacement map ? which rubies do i need to download and how to i go about creating these terrains like solo has done?

haha..this is great.. i've got Wall E as my wallpaper found a site with some hi res images from the movie.

I know this is a really old thread but I was wondering if Solo or another sketchup guru has any videos on organic modeling of animals or cartoon characters... Most of the pictures are gone from this thread and I would like to learn how best to start an object... Specifically, I want to model a whale! Thanks! Stuart Edit: I think I get how to do it. I bought vertex tools (amazing) and using artisan, I just have to push pull and PRACTICE! Quick whale test, long ways to go... s [image: H2zr_bluewhaleraft.jpg]

re: Vue... Solo is referring to Vue Infinite their website is http://www.e-onsoftware.com/ but you could try the new UV mapper for SU by Whaat - available in the ruby forum.

@lapx said: You should seriouly consider writing a book on technique etc... oh yes - a book for "pros" to get a step closer to SketchUp Godhood! Solo, you are the Architect... and SketchUp is the Matrix!

solo i must say this is again impressive, especially the textures used on the dumpster. rubbish never looked so good. pav

They did check, the image was not tampered with...

Thanks Pete, nice useful additions to the library

Dear Remus, i have watched carefully those videos you tell me about: Subdivide and Smooth Tutorial Part1 Subdivide and Smooth Tutorial Part2 And: SCREENCAST.COM SubD2_Chair SCREENCAST.COM Pilow Ok, i have understood the overall functioning, but i must tell that i "rest on my hunger" (french expression). We would really need need at least a reference quickcard to exploit Subdivide and Smooth finely.

Maybe he didn't want to be parted from his gaol buddies. I mean, really...

Cool but...Will it blend? Err...I mean , will it render nicely using render apps?

Hi Solo It is nice to be shown/reminded how easy it is to make object in sketchup. cheers

Well Thom is working on this that'll make thing alot easier for this type of thing. Haven't heard anything in awhile but it'll definitely allow alot of mesh tinkering

Great as always Solo, keep it up. Is it worthwhile to try using the free version of Vue?

Beautiful, Pete...and I too think the night render is just great! (Please don't post this model, as I'll then be tempted to add it to all of mine...at the least to cast a shadow :`)

You know, I had to laugh at all the folks who were out protesting and claiming the war in Iraq was a war for oil. Go back to the first gulf war, and they said the same about Kuwait. Shows how ignorant the protesters really are. Go back to the 1970s when gas prices went from less than 30 cents a gallon in many places in the US up to over 50 cents a gallon and remember when the prices leveled off there. Seems there was this pipeline that the oil companies wanted to lay up in Alaska and it was being held up by the government at the behest of the environmentalists. Pocket books got involved and an oil line got put in. G.W. was not in gasoline production, he was involved in domestic drilling and exploration. He never did want cheaper ME oil. ANWAR is what the drilling and exploration people want. More drilling off of the coast in the Gulf and the Atlantic is what they want. How much is there? I truly don't know. The environmentalists say it would be a drop in the bucket, others like the fella on the video say it would make our current imports seem to be a drop in the bucket. Thing is, you can't really believe what any of them tell you. And don't depend on the press to tell you the truth, either. They're not interested in the truth.

solo, I found this link on the web. Compares the "Intel Core 2 duo e7300" with the " AMD Phenom x3 8600". They also threw other CPU's (admittedly, all Intel CPU's) into the mix for a better comparison.
