It's the unbelievable quality of your work that tells me to just stick to my cars.

A million dollars if you'll teach me your methods (in small monthly payments, of course 😉 )

Excellent again John, your like some sort of machine churnin' em out !

What a great piece of art.

Thanks for the comments. I replied to this this morning but looks like I hit Preview button instead 😒 old age comes to us all.

"different approach" maybe wrongly worded. I was unhappy with the finished render as it was overly green, so lowered the saturation and applied a colour wash overlay and changed the blending mode.

My first attempt at digital watercolour

Wonderful image John. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

💚 I think this is one of your best texturing jobs, John - the street, sidewalk, the brick fence, house walls, gates, roof...all excellent. They really pop in the larger version of the image, where the details are more noticeable. Are the house walls one texture, or a combination different brick and stone textures? I think the one item that could be improved is the large timbers could use some more bump - the large cracks look flat/have no depth. Foliage integrated perfectly, as usual. Beautiful image.

I know it's been mentioned before, but you really should update your status from beginner.

BTW John, at some point you'll have to upgrade your "Level of SketchUp" status to something a wee bit higher than "Beginner". You make me feel embarrassed for calling myself "Advanced" 😄

🤣 What he said, John.

Fantastic and incredible as usual.

Gorgeous image John,your use of texture is really unique and also so much in keeping with your models.I think your images are some of the best I have seen here,and they also carry a "signature" which is very much your own.

It's amazing what one person can see in an image but the next person never sees. I have never noticed that crack in the texture until I opened it and it's as clear as day! The image posted here is 1/5th the size of the original yet I had to zoom into the original to (not) see those missing shadows 😛

This image always makes me smile http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=46674
a glaring cock-up but 420 views and nobody noticed 😆 If you can get away with posting a clanger here you can confidently post it anywhere.

thanks,
John

Thank you Pilou, your knowledge of Plugins is certainly impressive 👍 . I will check it out in the morning.

You mean one of these 😉

John, now that's just being silly.........

We all know what he meant was one of these:

Lee, I hope you had your sandbags prepared! looked bad on the news hope you escaped the worst of it.
Oli, thank you 😳 . I'm no master, that title is firmly reserved for Pete and others who do this for a living IMO. When you can choose your subjct and there's no pressure it's a whole different ball game.
John

agreed with Daniel...that stucco looks really great.

Beautiful John, absolutely lovely. Rosedale is a beautiful place (if it's the NY Moors one) and you've done it justice.

Sepo that's hilarious!

@ John - mate another stunning work there! This one inparticular is for REAL! Well done, you even got the gloomy english weather to a Tee!

Hi John,

I love the charm of these British homes. Very well done.

Charly

Thanks everyone.
Daniel, I have looked at Windsor so many times! can you suggest a view because she's so big. It would still need to be identifiable, even Street View can't get near! She's a small town in herself.
aadb, I can see what you mean now it's pointed out, the garden wall is making it look worse because they are at different angles.
