Hey,

I wanted to model a stadium again, so I first made a model.
It's just fast-done so I see if the realization is even possible.
But now I'd like some suggestions from you, I still don't know how to model the 2 "towers". They look a bit too much like boring watertanks. Of course every critic is welcome. (This is just a concept model, I know the hull of the stadium isn't perfect)

Btw. Please don't mind the small comment at the pictures, they just say top- and sideview

Nice cars, but in times of the climate crisis you should better modell a Prius.

I couldn't beleave it when I heard it.
I always have to think...
Who will replace those legends?
Elvis - 1.485.000.000 sold copies.
MJ - 450.000.000
Both still rising, especially MJ now.
Or which band now could ever sell nearly a fourth as much as MJ with "Thriller"?
The only one who even came near that after 2000 were?
The Beatles... With the Album "1" with 31.000.000 copies

Hi everybody,

This is my first Post, so I hope you like it. I just saw some of these great optical illusions and thought "Why not model that in SU?"
So now here is the first one, 10 Min. Work.
Btw... Finding the right colors was the hardest part.

And if you want to know how I did it:

I hope you can understand why shadows or rendering might have been a bit hard.

Others are coming soon maybe.

I would use a bigger (more x more) texture and expand it more, so you have no more cuts in your water surface.
And I would use a single Background area. The edge doesnt look realistic.
The boat itself is nice.

This is great!
What comes next? Asterix? Idefix? Miraculix? Or maybe Caesar?

Ah, thanks, I found the Problem now. I've just set black and not the sketchUp Background color.
Im rendering for 4 min now and It works perfectly.
Ill see how long I will net it render.
It should be possible to continue modelling the model I'm rendering while the renderer is still rendering? Erm... I hope you know what I mean.

Edit: One more quiestion:
It is possible to let an object glow in an other color like red?
I was also trying a lavalamp and wanted to have red bubbles.

Edit:
Another question:
The should be a photo in the picture frame and the folder should be colored.
How did the color disappear?

The Tutorial didn't tell me to set it to black.
I'll try it.

Im doing this: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=33cc1f10f2cfdf13e8ecbc8e672e253d&hl=de&ct=lc
tutorial, but at "Materials 1" it says right-click and then "100W Incandescent". Thats not in the list, so I go to the Edit button and there I press "assign present" and then "100W Incandescent". But then it says I should press "OK", but there is no OK-Button.
When I try to preview, there is an error: "Blackbody lights are currently not supported by this feature"
and there is no Image, just the red cross on a white ground.

Thanks for help
