A few of my models, used in the LAZARUS comic book

Impressive work. What version of SketchUp do you use and what are your computer specs?

[xayzer]

One more time shows the versality of sketchUp! Bravo!

just Wow! Very good work!

Fantastic work!

Really cool stuff. To me I am getting a 'Half Life 2' vibe from them. Again, great work!

Thank you very much guys!

Thank you, Dave! I'm using Sketchup 2018. My computer specs are embarrassingly low. I'm currently working on a seven-year-old Dell laptop (Core i7, 8gb ram, Nvidia Gt555m).



Here's another update. A military helicopter and an underground bunker base:

Excellent! Your work, then, is a great example of how SketchUp doesn't really need a huge super computer like some people would insist.

Oh, absolutely! A few months ago I had to download the trial version of 3ds max because a client had a few .max files that needed converting into skp. On my computer I could barely rotate the camera around the models in 3ds max, while in Sketchup it was no problem (with Profiles turned off, of course;)). I just wish there was more work available for us Sketchupers.

Thank you guys, you are too kind!

True, but the same could be said about a pocket calculator!

Here's one more, a VTOL aircraft:

Here's another update with a model I completed recently. I can't post this elsewhere yet because it spoils a location for the next issue of the book, but I suppose I'm fine posting it here. It's a model of an apartment that serves as a "clubhouse" of sorts for a special task force of soldiers called Daggers.

The portraits arranged around the Daggers emblem on the wall are of soldiers who have died in the line of duty:

In one corner of the room there's supposed to be a half-serious "shrine" to the leader of the Daggers, Commander Carlyle. A simplified and somewhat enlarged version of this made it into the final model, but I haven't made renders of it yet:

Could someone ban this guy? I mean posting photos as renders is NOT cool!
D@mn good stuff sir, d@mn good!

That first sentence nearly gave me a heart attack, I was like, "holy crap, what unknown rule of the forum have I broken?"

Thank you

Wow! Photorealism is insane!

Wow! Photorealism is insane!

Thank you, jo-ke! Though I don't think I'm achieving photorealism just yet

Here's one I finished just now. It's also for the upcoming issue of the book. Not a particularly exciting project, just a building (The Stanford Bioengineering Building), but I think it came out nicely.

[xayzer]

Time for another update with another model from the upcoming issue. This is an upscale Mexican restaurant in SoCal with an outdoor area.
