Thank you very much......can't wait to find the right place to use these.
Very much appreciated

i'm so embarassed. You guys were gracious enough to notice and I failed to respond. I'm working on leaving for a project in Dubai and haven't been able to follow things on the forum as much.

I guess this is a belated thank you birthday wish response.....first time in the history of the world

Thanks everybody
Ypnos

Coen,

Many sincere apologies. Sorry about the image size man. I didn't read your previous message regarding file size - i'll be more careful in the future. Please remove my original image if its size is burdonsome.

As far as posting the ruby script....honestly i'm a architect naive in the ways of mischeavous scripts. Fortunately the people who download the script I posted have reported no anomolies in the script because I posted it in the exact way I recieved it. I'll try and post the link to the script itself next time.

Again sorry about overstepping boundaries on this forum....no offense intended.

I must have missed your tut sorry. I make sense. I never thougth that running contours was direction specific as you have demonstrated in your tutorial. I have one more question.

If you didn't rotate the geometry 90 deg as you have done but changed the z-axis 90 would that be and easier thing? Probably 6 of one 1/2 dozen of another.

thanks for the clarity
Ypnos

don't know why the attachment didn't work...i'll try it again

ok
got it....the image was to large

I don't know why but sandbox tool yielded a very strange result for me (see attached image) You guys didn't have this problem?

I only got it to work when selecting two faces at a time but not all at once

Jeff glad to hear you are around in here checking things out. That project is following me around - it was built in 2004 and it has been published a dozen times. That normally would be a good thing, my only problem is i haven't built anything of substance since. I've designed a lot of cool stuff but somehow finances fall through, clients move/change their minds etc. So every time I see it I get depressed not because it wasn't a great project but because so much time has elapsed since a thoughtful project of mine got built......

Anyways - sorry for leading this thread astray everybody - wandering is a bad habit of mind that has followed me into this forum.

Talk to you guys later

i'm old school baby

check out some of my pre-Sketchup action.

Thanks for the compliment and insight Rob. Good chatting with you - hope you dig some of my work too.

One last question ------ if you know how to use more advanced modeling softwares, why do you use Sketchup over the others? Is the SU community any different from other modeling communities? Just curios

Rob

Thanks for sharing your background. You sound like a talented guy with a bright future. Glad we can exchange information and ideas in this forum. :thup:

Good luck to you man.
Ypnos

Definately a big shout out to Diddier for his awesome work on this script.

It's not perfect yet but it beats the hell out of connectin all those dots!
Great thread guys
glad I could contribute in a meaningful way

Major props to Rob for his excellent work
Hey Rob-what is your background anyway? What are trained in? CG, Architect etc.

just curious
I'm also guessing you are younger than me (i'm 34) which again will make me hate you

Talk to you later

Rob
Thanks for the advice------i realized i messed up the attachment and you might have missed my additional post a minute after i posted my first comment

I got it to attach properly the second time around.....so go back and find that script

I tried posting the .zip file of the ruby script and it didn't work. Not sure why....perhaps i should go back and read posting requirements

in the mean time i'll give it another shot
Skin.zip

I just tried the create contours idea and couldn't get it to work.

I did however have much success with the a new ruby call D.B Tools. It did all the stiching for me. Rob it sounds like you did all the stitching by hand....definately check this out because this will save you lots of time.

I've attached the script for you here
let me know if this works out for you

Thanks again for posting your tutorial - it is always great to see new work flows.

Regardless I'm haven't made the mental connection between your tutorial and the chair. How the heck did you make those pads!

Great work
thanks again
btw - i still hate you

You have got to be kidding...you did that in SU from scratch?

I'd love to see a brief tutorial on your method
outrageously cool
nice work!

btw....i hate you...i'm so green with envy

Nice work Andy
i gotta get one of those WACOM tablets!!!

looks really wonderful

What can i say but awesome

Love your work man - have been following over the last few years
great work

what is your professional background?/ are you an ARchitect, designer, 3d artist etc?

Ypnos

Really cool
i love to see these kinds of progress shots. Nice work
great final result

Kwitsen

Amazing work...once again you have proven you are a master at this stuff

Greg - thanks for adding your images to your thread....I downloaded them a while back and refer to them frequently because of their clarity. Really nice work.

The other examples are really wonderful - thanks for posting everybody. I will post some of my details once I am at liberty to do so. My primary client has prohibited me to share any information about his project at this time. I'm hoping to get a release at the end of the project.

Anyways - this is a wonderful thread - thanks for sharing your works fellas. Awesome - inspring work!

Outrageously cool

you have broken architectural detailing convention. This is exactly what I've been talking about with my colluegues! This is the future - drawing/modeling information that doesn't require a 4 semester course in reading construction drawings!

Nice work
I've saved these to show my co-workers.

The materials are fantastic. Where did you get them from? I definately would love to get a hold of them.

thanks for sharing your model and thoughts.
well done!
ypnos

Love the image
Love your technique
Never figured out that you can render directly to a .psd. That is huge
thanks for pointing out the obvious
which obviously was not so obvious for me

Thanks for sharing
Rock on
