urgen, awesome work there!

I was hoping somebody could download the file and host it on an english server, I'm flying blind on the russian download page - I've tried the links (after the counter is done, that url) without success.

.....OK?

...May be somebody is interested in the variants of shoe1? Please, here's the post info...

edit shoe.rar

...probably, somebody still do not clearly understand how it works... giving the post info of how I do the textures to SHOES. The same way I did Skies ,ski boots and wheels that I showed earlier ( I gave the material to GAI and they are going to be restored soon). This is probably the learning video of how to work in PHOTOSHOP...

Quite an interesting topic for me. These are some things from my collection:

Hi everyone! Firstly some bad news... It's a pitty , I have to start the topic "my" ART-SKETCH COMPONENTS" at a new board, have to start it blank...
It disappeared from the old board and hasn't appeared at a new one...
It must have been a technical mistake of a transfer... A side effect of moving on...
But cheer up: I will copy those components and files that were there step by step later... I have all the post info saved...
... Want to answer the latest questions:
...to Antoino6911: I have already mentioned I deal with the design of built in furniture (wardrobes, furniture case etc.) That's why the components I need
are specific - house things, clothes, instruments and tools...and there's a minimal chance to find them anywhere on the internet. So I have to do it by myself.
I consider myself to be a creative person. That's why when after finishing a component, I start improvise and create something else...This can be labelled as a hobby.
For instance, I have done individual shelves for a garrage recently. The client asked to place several sets of wheels for his cars there. I have modelled a wheel,
And the final result can be seen below...
...to Takuji: I have seen your model (it seems to be an alien) Takuji, the the principle of building my models is different than yours...
In my models the model's skeletion is hung to the texture (photo), that mean I do the form based on a texture. your varriant seems to be more classical:
making a form and then "painting" it with textures. But the alien model can be done as you want to.
We need:
1 the model (pre-made without textures),
2 photo of high quality (front, left or right),
and finally, besides SKETCHUP knowledge, you have to be skilled in PHOTOSHOP.
Without it, I am convinced, it is almost impossible to create a good model...

I saw a beautiful lamp a while ago at a friends house that was made of bent wicker frames conected by stiff wire with rice paper stretched over it. It stood over 2 meters tall and gave off a wonderful soft light. You just couldn't take your eyes off of it.
I tried to make a simple model of it. I'm sure if one of the rendering wizards got his hands on it he could make it into a decent model.
Anybody care to give it a shot?
you can find the model on the warehouse:

... http://www.texturama.com/ - is the real emperor of texture web pages!However, it's not on the list, have no idea why..It's not for free use, but for the people who's ok with that- this is really a treasure! Max. professionally made textures. I haven't seen anything better, the great variety of textures of concretes and facades. For the rest: some previews can be privatly used in SU (quality is enough), finishing it using the well-known methods ... architects and designers, enjoy!..
