inspired from solo's old Rock-face thread in the podium forum back in 2007...

Maybe they are the ones he also posted here?

yes Gaieus, thanks for that link. Although, I think he posted more in the PD forum

and one more..

before anyone asks, I'm not comparing v-ray with podium, just testing their bumps. Anyways, here's the model. Knock yourself out

podium versions of the already - posted textures

Here's another batch, plus a podium one

inspired from solo's old Rock-face thread in the podium forum back in 2007, but mine is a v-ray version with the low-res free textures from arroway (http://www.arroway-textures.com/)I don't think it's as good as solo's podium version though. Model made using SDS. Enjoy!

yeah.. I started doing the 3d challenge back in June.. that time i don't even know how to make boat hulls

a bicycle of some sorts might be a good start..
seems like a variety of methods could be used depending on skill level and amount of detail you'd like to go for.

good timing Jeff, the current sketchup 3d challenge is a bycicle... (http://sketchup3dchallenge.blogspot.com/)

Some one asked me why I post models made in blender here. But these have modeled just for this purpose. If I want to render them in blender (I did) then can use a higher level of faces-details.
So this fountain is not modeled in SU (see topology on att.), so importing it to MAX and render with vray, has really nothing to do with SU. Its an interesting work flow though. Always the capability to export SU models to other apps. If this is possible (for a complicated model).
So earthmother, these are great renders, but why do you need to import a model in SU and export it in MAX?

I think the fountain is made in SU, with the usual tools and SDS (check the dome) Is that right solo?

Here's another..something (I know the stairs are out of scale.... I'm to lazy to scale them back )

here's the finished thing itching to be rendered. C&C always welcome. Feel free to render if you want. Enjoy!





cons-transport.zip

looks really realistic, what renderer is that?

thanks leminilab. Here's an escape pod view:

Since that one is finished, here's another construction related one. This time it's a transporter, only finished the cockpit so far. Enjoy!

A bit more, added cocrete equipment and a quick clay with hypershot.


this one is finished for now, working on another one..coming soon
Final poly count is 20610 faces, with 48194 edges. Feel free to render if you want.
arm.zip

A small update, though poly count has more than doubled with 19664 polys, and 46060 edges. Rebar is finished, it is fast because all of it are components. Now for the concrete pouring equipment.

Hello again,

this time I'm making a construction scene for fun, the construction is suppose to be bridge building or something like that Poly count is currently 9186 faces, with 21660 edges. Original post here : http://ultimatez32.byethost7.com/blog-posts-and-other-things/construction-scene/

try turning on hardware acelaration from (mac version) sketchup -> preferences -> OpenGL and then make sure the hardware accelaration box is ticked

nope. Don't mind the arrow. Mine is very similar to speaker's first one

any guesses on mine? lemonade or lemon-aid was done already here:
