Making orthos in Photoshop and then making the rough shape using them in either sketchup with a few plugins or in 3ds max and import into SU to be worked on.
This shape is much smoother than usual luckily I have been able to use the new Artisan plugin for subdivision and smoothing.

Thanks! I want it too

Really nice work. How do you make the organic shape of the model?

Why lost time to modelize that?
You can load hundred models in SKP format of this heres

i want to learn to model something like that.

Well, adding surface details on such spherical objects could be accomplished by Fredo6´s Tools On Surface, at least I think so - viewtopic.php?f=323&t=11212&hilit=surface+tools+fredo
Intersecting that "bowl" with another model could help in further editing.

thx...that helped a little bit.

hi,

can anyone please make a tutorial how to make only the spherical cockpit with all of its details.

here is a link of a great model which I found on the net: http://fractalsponge.net/gallery/Starfighters/TIE%20Fighter/index.html ( I know it's an 3dsMAX model)

a tutorial of how to edit a spherical object like a loudspeaker bowl would be cool too.

I struggle with such objects.

cheers and thx

What an awesome work! How do you make the engines? The details are incredible.

I hope you win one of the prizes at the da contest.

...Will try it out on the iPad and see how it works.

Please post some impressions. I want to know if it has some use.
I see that you can make your own layouts too and they have one for Blender and other apps.

I don't think that this app wants to replace the mouse rather than the keyboard.

Look really nice!

I think it's a nice toy for Sketchup.^^ I would use it with the Ipad because of it's bigger screen.

The people who represented Podium at 3DBC this year had an iPad viewer for sketchup. As they moved the iPad the camera within the model moved in realtime. I don't know if they could do realtime walkthroughs, or just see the model from a stationary position, but regardless, it was pretty cool. Did anyone else see this and have any more info?

that would be cool...any news?^^

Google released a SketchUp 8 Viewer for PC and Mac....now it would be really nice to see it for the ipad.

btw. thx for the help.

i don't want to miss your really great plugin which makes work so much easier.^^
