"my "ART-SKETCH COMPONENTS"...

[urgen]

Hi everyone! Firstly some bad news... It's a pitty , I have to start the topic "my" ART-SKETCH COMPONENTS" at a new board, have to start it blank...
It disappeared from the old board and hasn't appeared at a new one...
It must have been a technical mistake of a transfer... A side effect of moving on...
But cheer up: I will copy those components and files that were there step by step later... I have all the post info saved...
... Want to answer the latest questions:
...to Antoino6911: I have already mentioned I deal with the design of built in furniture (wardrobes, furniture case etc.) That's why the components I need
are specific - house things, clothes, instruments and tools...and there's a minimal chance to find them anywhere on the internet. So I have to do it by myself.
I consider myself to be a creative person. That's why when after finishing a component, I start improvise and create something else...This can be labelled as a hobby.
For instance, I have done individual shelves for a garrage recently. The client asked to place several sets of wheels for his cars there. I have modelled a wheel,
And the final result can be seen below...
...to Takuji: I have seen your model (it seems to be an alien) Takuji, the the principle of building my models is different than yours...
In my models the model's skeletion is hung to the texture (photo), that mean I do the form based on a texture. your varriant seems to be more classical:
making a form and then "painting" it with textures. But the alien model can be done as you want to.
We need:
1 the model (pre-made without textures),
2 photo of high quality (front, left or right),
and finally, besides SKETCHUP knowledge, you have to be skilled in PHOTOSHOP.
Without it, I am convinced, it is almost impossible to create a good model...

These are the wheel...

...and the textures for them.

Hi Urgen,

Yes, as I wrote in the PM, it was most probably me who screwed up something. Sorry againg - now at last in public - but really good news you still have the post info saved.

If you want, I can recreate the whiole thread from it and attribute every single post to its original poster (simply the way we are actually doing the transfer). Seriously, I'd be extremely glad if I could do this so therefore please, send me all the info so that I can redeem my fauld by recovering your topic.

The best would be via email (maybe the files are too big) at gaieus(at)gaieus(dot)hu.

This was such a great topic that it must be retrieved

Thanks in advance (today I'm going for some family lunch since we celebrate Christmas more on 24th evening than on the Day of Christmas but I could do it tomorrow).

And since you are from Russia, I guess you celebrate Christmas in January but anyway - a Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas to you (in this way this order )

[urgen]

The holidays are coming and I would like to create the holiday magic atmosphere and a good mood in pictures...enjoy it!!!
...and this is a small bag

Recently I have seen post info (Jon) of how to make sport shoes (viewtopic.php?f=40&t=1817).
Quite an interesting topic for me. These are some things from my collection:

[urgen]

...this is go-o-od man shoes !

[urgen]

...OLD RADIO- one of my first components. Despite of a couple of drawbacks , it seems to be pretty good ...

[urgen]

...thermometer - there's nothing more simple than this one to make!

That's all for today.... Merry X-mas and Happy New Year everyone!!! See you!!!

A superb virtual Christmas present!

Happy Everything

Wow, it didn't occur to me that this was native SketchUp until I downloaded your *.skp. Now I see. This is really impressive and shows me how much there is to learn in SU.

[elmer]

Wow! These boots are really made for walking!
Work of art, thanks for sharing.

Have a nice Christmas day,

Patrice

...May be somebody is interested in the variants of shoe1? Please, here's the post info...

[urgen]

...and shoe textures:

[urgen]

...probably, somebody still do not clearly understand how it works... giving the post info of how I do the textures to SHOES. The same way I did Skies ,ski boots and wheels that I showed earlier ( I gave the material to GAI and they are going to be restored soon). This is probably the learning video of how to work in PHOTOSHOP...

urgen, awesome work there!

I was hoping somebody could download the file and host it on an english server, I'm flying blind on the russian download page - I've tried the links (after the counter is done, that url) without success.

Urgen,

So good!!..thanks.
Questions:
What kind of camera are you using?
Are you using a "light box" or natural lighting?
Have you found an average optimum file size for you photo textures?
Cheers!!

I use standard photoshop's filters. Here I used the "filterforge"(Freepack 1 – Metals).
http://www.filterforge.com/download/ ----- it is very funny! ..

[modelhead]

Yes Urgen, but the photographs??? Did you take them, and if so I am still curious about these two things...

...Sorry, didn't get the whole question ...a language trouble plus a new year excitement. ..I am not a photographer and take the photos from different places...mostly on the internet (free pics in e-shops), rarely on photosites for money (if I really like it and the price is not outrageous)...
A piece of advise for work:
1. firstly, the photo should be of a really good quality.
2. the size of the final photo should be not more than 100KB/
3. I usually try to do the textures of a big size with decreasing their quality (JPG), although it is not always possible...
4. I do the textures in PHOTOSHOP, always a bit sharper than I want it to be...in sketchup they look pretty good...
Hi to everybody!!!One more time HAPPY HOLIDAYS,
MOre information next year!!!

[modelhead]

I would be happy to supply you with photo's...I do take pictures for money but for you it would be an honour to collaborate. If you are in need of images of any special objects please let me know and I will shoot and send to your specification....cheers!!

hello everyone!
first of all want to wish a Merry X-mas for those, who are orthodox. I've been thinking some poeple do not fully understand how Ichange the textures... I work with SU5...and the others mostly work with SU6... sending post info in SU6...Of course, this is not such an effective thing as in SU5, but more understandable for the users of SKETCHUP.
The main thing is MAKE COPY(CTRL+C) of one from the sizes in the window EDIT TEXTURE of the basic texture and PASTE(CTRL+V) in the same window of the new texture... this is simple...

[urgen]

... some things from my collection:
...brush - a simple component but quite a good one...

[urgen]

... a GOOOOOD leather bag! and this is how I used it in my work...
