Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-Fi@ Sepo: Thank you. Glad you like them.
@ Phil Rader: Thanks for your comments. Cool architecture projects that you're working on. I have been to Minneapolis once before with my wife to visit her parents. That was "meet the parents" trip. LOL @ Liam: I would love to see what you'd come up with if you had time to enter the competition. i am sure it will be an awesome model. Just checked out some of your latest stuff. I love the lego model and the USMC tumbler. Great job! ![]() @ Dolphus: Thank you, Sir. How is your airplane project going? @ Michalis: Thanks for your thumbs up. check out the thread The Art of Sketchup - part 1: Fantasy. I replied to your message about the accuracy of the Greek temple. ![]() @ modelhead: thank you for your comment. @ Fletch: Thank you, I should. ![]() @ Suc: Thanks. I wish I could post more of the Sci-fi stuff but i don't have anymore. ![]() @ Pilou: merci beaucoup. J'espere que tout va bien en France. A+ As promised, I have posted a couple images of the current personal project that I am doing lately. Check them out in the thread The Art of Sketchup - part 1: Fantasy. Have a great day, _KN Follow Your Dreams.
Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-Fi
Cheers, yeah I was disappointed that I only found the competition when there was little time left. I think sketchup is a great tool and I love taking it head to head with the 3dsmax and Lightwave users in competitions its always a fun challenge. It annoys me sometimes when people just dismiss sketchup as a sub standard piece of software, yes its true its not as powerful as the others cannot handle large files and has a few big flaws but its still pretty awesome! What do you use to paint over your models just a tablet and photoshop I assume? http://events.cgsociety.org/NVArt/05/ this was the competition i was thinking about by the way I assume its the same one?

Yes, Sketchup is not as powerful as the other 3D programs and cannot handle large files, but it is an awesome piece of software that sometimes allow one to do things that Maya or Max users would not be able to do in a certain amount of time. Indeed, Sketchup is so intuitive and really fast for modeling. Some of my coworkers who use Maya are really amazed by what I can do with sketchup. Things that I can do in an a few minutes or a couple of hours would take them hours or days to do the same things with all the details. Also, Sketchup is free! The best things in life are free, right? ![]()
For this particular project, I used materials and rendered with Vray/ HDRI. No Photoshop post work. But for other projects, yes I use a tablet and photoshop for post work most of the time.
Yup, that's the one. Take care, _KN Follow Your Dreams.
Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-FiHi all,
So I mentioned in my other thread that I have stopped working on the two fantasy architectural interiors to focus on the EVE Online -Create a Starship contest http://news.deviantart.com/article/128272/. Thanks Liam for letting me know. More sleepless nights ahead but it will be worth it. The prizes are so sweet. I started the model a few days ago. I have less than 3 weeks and working on it a few hours at night, I hope I will finish it on time. Thanks for visiting and have a terrific day! _KN Follow Your Dreams.
Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-FiAwesome.. great guns dying to see completed project...go Ken..go...

Thanks, Dolph. So here are some more WIP I did last night. I will try to post some each day till it's finished. Thanks for visiting, _KN The little dots you see here are the human scales (1.8m). Yep, that space ship is huge. This will be my biggest model. The length is 1km. Follow Your Dreams.
Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-FiI haven't had any time do model I think its going to be a last min job for me, looking good tho good luck!

Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-FiPlease make a video when you are going to model some parts .. I still cannot believe it
![]() and damn .. 1KM . nice one Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-Fiwell I did a mock up by mostly kit-bashing older models but luckily I know exactly in my head what I want to make so when I finish this freelance project taking up most of my time I reckon I make it and paint it in a week fingers crossed? but yours is sure looking good make sure you stick to the rules i have seen a lot of peeps with great models but entering them wrong so they void the application haha!

http://www.robotsvdinosaurs.com/ Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-FiHi guys,
Hope you had a great weekend. @ Dolphus: Thank you, Sir. How is it going with your aerospace designs? @ Pilou: Merci beaucoup. Bonne journee! @ Solidseal: Thanks for you comment. Sorry, I don't have any videos. Maybe I will make some video tutorials of modeling high detailed models in Skechup in the future. Any free software I can use to make videos? @ Liam: Wonderful, looking forward to seeing what you have. Yes, I have noticed that lots of people did not follow the rules. Too bad for them, but good for us...less competition. ![]() Here's the latest WIP from Saturday night (fever...) ![]() Have a great week! _KN Follow Your Dreams.
Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-Filooking good ken im going to have my work cut out to better you haha!

LOL ![]() Hope you can do something, Liam. Prizes are too good to miss out on. Here's the latest WIP from last night (Sunday). Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful week, everyone. ![]() _KN Follow Your Dreams.
Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-FiI think you have done enough you have worked really hard why not take a week off ken haha (so I can catch up)
Looks really good, its nice that it actually fits within one of the races in the eve universe I have looked at a few entries and they dont seem to fit in, it wasnt strict about how close your design had to fit in but I bet all the winners and runners up will have game-worthy designs! What size is your ship anyway mine comes in at around 300M (Length) 890M (width) 200M (height) VISIT MY ONLINE GALLERY
http://www.robotsvdinosaurs.com/ Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-FiWhat an awesome work! How do you make the engines? The details are incredible.
I hope you win one of the prizes at the da contest. ![]() Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-Fi@ Liam: Yeah, maybe I should take a week off; go to bed and sleep. I look like a zombie.
![]() Thanks for noticing that my starship fits within one of the races. Some entries are very nice but they seem like they belong to another universe but EVE. The rule says it clearly: "Entries must depict a starship suitable for integration into EVE Online". Your ship's length is longer than the width? 300M (Length) 890M (width) 200M (height).....lol ![]() My dimensions are: 1000M (length) - 450M (width - it will be larger as I still have to add something on one side) - 450M (height). @ stonebreaker: Thank you for your kind comment. I made the engines with basic tools like drawing a profile using lines, circle, curves, etc., then I used "follow me" around a circle. Here's stuff from last night. I added details to the engines/exhaust and more stuff in the back of the ship. I will have to do the same thing with the rest of the ship. I will go back and add details later. Thank you for viewing. Take care, _KN Follow Your Dreams.
Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-Fi
Fraps will do I guess ![]() Love the detail .. with every picture I learn stuff .. even if nothing changed :d Re: The Art of sketchup - part 2: Sci-Fi
Thank you Solidseal. More WIP from last night. I added more details (panels on the hull, exhaust engines, etc.). Have a nice day! -KN Follow Your Dreams.
