Here is how I do it from another thread: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=68246&p=624733&hilit=3dsmax+to+sketchup#p624726

to the OP, i think softening up the shadows would make these things. really nice as is, though.

@unknownuser said: These images are only a part of the whole modeling job And you get paid to do this?.....lucky bastard!!!

I didn't know oysters drank.

Cool models. You should try rendering them. Nice work.

I agree: great native SU render.

What a fun project, and great modeling.

Nice job - but I agree with James about the repetition on the brickwork. I have found that textures showing only horisontal joints work better at that distance. [image: 3WQd_pattern.jpg] You can retain the original texture for closer views.

That's what it was! Thanks, Chris.

check here too hth, Norbert

Durant, thanks for your inspiring comments!

Those look great!

Looking good man! Never saw a project like this before un SU

Eric, the trick is to know that not every project is a candidate for a sketchy style. The moment I feel the slightest doubt, I quit styling. This one felt right for the job, from the very beginning.

Cheers! there are more pics from the bar on my blog. [image: tImZ_bar01.jpg]

hi digicent, unfortunately it's not a standard style, but a combination of a sketchy style and some Photoshop.
