Most impressive SketchUp modellingRe: Most impressive SketchUp modellingMods, any chance of making this thread a sticky? It took me a while to find it again- even under my bookmarks!

Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingI've made it a sticky for now.
There's a frontroom and a backroom....reverse faces
Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingHow about we have a thread that only mods can add to and post on but everyone could view. We could put up the most impressive models found around here along with a link to each corresponding thread. We could have a separate discussion thread open to everyone so they can nominate people's works etc. It would just be nice to have a real "Gallery" of the greatest SketchUp works.
![]() It's kind of elaborate I guess but I don't think it would be too hard to implement, right? --
SketchUpNoobie: the complete noob in all things SketchUp. Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingThat has been covered before but Mods are a notoriously lazy bunch. I wouldn't bother asking them.
We have recently grown the Gallery forum to add a WIP forum to accomodate the feedback we got on the Gallery becoming cluttered. Adding a Mod only locked topic kind of takes away the community spirit of the place. By having members recommending members it remains a true representation of what SCF thinks of the submissions on show. Whilst it does seem to have simmered down lately it is a great place to visit to get inspiration/motivation and mostly depression. But you never know you may get your wish someday......

Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingShut up Rich! I want my own thread, hell my own sub-forum. And who you callin' lazy?!
Where's the remote? Damn, I spilled my cheese!
Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingAnything by this guy;
http://www.giantmonster.tv/giant/ Specifically; http://www.giantmonster.tv/giant/?page_id=612 These images are produced mostly in sketchup. He used to have a great wealth of info regarding this project on his blog, including tuts, workflows, etc. But as time went on it has moved to the back burner and the amount of info has decreased, but I still find it very inspirational. He also used to have some videos on youtube showing his sketchup workflow. I forget what they were called but they're a good watch. Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingHe's Justin Chin and a member here:
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1565 You can search under the advanced search for his topics in the gallery (search for him as author and the topics he started - i.e. "first post..." in the gallery) Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingaaah Giantmonster... the artist that made me love Sketchup ...
I really enjoy his works ![]() Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingI just took a quick romp through this post, and all I can say is they are all FAKES. Photographs, pure and simple.
SU cannot be that good for such a simple to use app. ![]() And if there was ever to be a "Photo" contest, there would have to be a few dozen First Prizes. ![]() __________________

Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingFrom this thread http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=173014&page=1 which is what actually made me download SketchUp. --------- Burt
Stormvisions Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingI am not critiquing the quality of the SU art in any way, but, the mechanical concept of the Heavy Lifter is a somewhat backwards. The large dual wheels under the engine/counterweight should be as close to the lift forks as possible, as that is where the load will be. The 2 smaller tires in front are seemingly way too small for the load the lifter seems designed for. Plus the steering mechanism cannot take such a load, which is one of the main reasons almost all lift trucks have the steerables in the back. The load end is usually a solid axle.
Very nicely done model and render though. ![]() ![]() ![]() __________________

That second picture is particularly impressive. Whoever made that is incredible talented, I wish my sketches came out like that. Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingNumbthumb's "Acht-achter" cannon definitely deserves to be mentioned here.

Re: Most impressive SketchUp modelling
Haven't seen this thread in a while. You're welcome Marco.
That is the version used in the Macross:Do you remember love? movie from 1984. The movie is considered canon as a movie inside the original Macross universe...so yeah it's not acurate with the TV series but it is an actual version used in Macross. It is probably more popular because it's a more detailed version than the one in the series. The movie is renowned for it's high quality animation and detailing.

Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingWow. Fricken, amazing stuff in this thread. I LOVE IT!
My humble thanks to, "brokenkeys" for the mention! monsterzero
http://www.infinitemachine.com Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingI'll post a few of mine. Although they are nothing SPECTACULAR, they are the best I'VE ever made, and I'm hoping my skills will keep improving.
The first is what started off as just a single Pergola segment with a couple benches. But then I added curved corners and a flat roof in the middle and before you knew it I had turned it into a Gazebo as well. A Perzebo maybe? Then on a whim I took away the central roof and attached all the pergola beams together to make a vine trellised peak in the middle. And added plants to the flower boxes. The second is is a Gazebo I made to practice structure building. Then I added a swing to it. Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingHellnbak´s roadster undoubtedly belongs here:

Re: Most impressive SketchUp modellingHey, thanks Numbthumb, I feel honored to be included in this fantastic collection!
I'm in the process of making some improvements/changes to the car (opening the doors, etc.), getting it ready for the Warehouse. Will post some pics in my WIP thread soon. "Politicians are just like diapers -- they need to be changed often, and for the same reason"
