Mike

Is this offer good for members that have already signed up for SketchUcation Premium Membership?

And if so, where is the download located?

Thanks Mike

Mike, never mind. Seems today for some reason I wasn't log in when I stopped here. Everything is OK.

Mad as a hatter!

Well Michael, please don't be too hard on your poor old blind Mom! I imagine 16 hours a day should be enough for her on the corner selling those pencils, she will need a few hours sleep

Yes, indeed Ken, the offer is there for existing Premium Members, like your good self, to pick up these goodies for free, worth in access of $80! Happy downloading

[mwm5053]

Downloaded and used most of the free stuff and some discounted items as well it's a great deal if you ask me.

[pbacot]

My opinion is that the quality of the vast majority of these is so great, that even if paid for individually, they're a good offering, made by people who really know how to model and texture for SU and rendering. Thanks to all contributors!

I added some of Rich's watercolour trees to a WC of a little pool house I did. Mind you, I added in GIMP because the picture was already done. Those trees were a nice surprise.

Peter, is that water colour effect done all in post - or is it based on a style? I there is reflection in the water, which I assume is rendered. Is it a clay render, mixed with SU lines and then filled in with colour in post?

[Mike Lucey]

.... which ever it is, it's a clever way of presenting ...... cutting out segments!

[pbacot]

Heh, all the above? I first did a straight SU, export lines and colors separately, use FotoSketcher (actually "Sketcher" on the Mac). and GIMP.

Then i wanted more so I rendered a simple scene in Kerky and used some Kerky water in the pool and then Sketcher and remixed back with the work I had done before. The background is a Sperical HDRI included in that run. Water was not good PR (too hard-line) but came out interesting with Sketcher.

So it was basically done in a non-landscaped style. I saw Rich's trees and exported png from the SU file to add to the finished picture in GIMP.

There's no special style, but it made me think I might try that FS HDRI as a watermark.

Some inspiration from DaveR's work. But no clay this time. Oh and Also Allan Casas' book ideas! I used a "splash" layer of wc colors from his book goodies.

If I had started knowing the eventual process, it probably would've taken little time. Most fiddling was softening the grass edges and blending the trees in

Thanks for the comments. Mike the cutting was probably to justify the lack of entourage, make it look more artsy instead of a completed picture.

[Cardinalgary]

It's early in the A.M. i admit, but where does a premium member go to download that trove of free downloads?

Gary Anderson

[Gaieus]

Gary, here is a link to a page where all freebies (either free for premium members or some for all members) and discounted commercial plugins (for premium members) are listed:
http://sketchucation.com/premium-services

Also, when you are logged in and browsing the shop, anywhere where you can only see a "Download" button (and no "Buy" button), it is a freebie for you:
http://sketchucation.com/shop

[ashscott]

This is all still included? Signing up now - please confirm

Ash

[Rich O Brien]

Yes and more is added to what's listed here.

Check the Premium Downloads link in the menu. That lists all the freebies

[ashscott]

Does "before we go back to sanity" infer that I need to download all this stuff before you take it away again? Or do you suffer from the same kind of madness that I do - the irreversible kind - which would allow me to leave this stuff online and simply download it when I need it?

[Rich O Brien]

Its yours when you need it.


.

[Mike Lucey]

Yep Ash, irreversible!

[Mike Lucey]

I must update the list as Rich and other shop owners have uploaded a lot more free content for Premium Members.

[Elibjr]

Mike, thank you and all the moderators, developers, programmers, and artists of this site. With all I have benefited from this sites existence, I have truly become a SketchUp addict and evangelist. Keep up the good work! ALL those who have contributed to this site should be commended for keeping this website alive!

Thanks for your kind words Elibjr. These are always welcome and appreciated by all. However you have also become a Premium Member and this is truly appreciated as in your case actions speak louder than words.

Best regards,

Hello.

Sorry for bad English, Google translator:

I decided to contact You because of an official source http://help.sketchup.com/en/contact/pro-sales, there is no answer.

In Russia I know many comers who wanted to have the licensed program SketchUp PRO 2013 but do not buy because Russian language has no SketchUp PRO 2013.

Developers - Sellers SketchUp Pro probably not interested in the sales on the territory of the Russian Federation of Your SketchUp PRO.
You do not provide localization into Russian language, thereby treat with contempt the Russian Federation and population - users from Russia, it's such a bad policy SketchUp!

So what can You say whether or not localized руссоязычная version of SketchUp 2013?!

Thank.


Здравствуйте.

Я решил обратится к Вам потому что от официального источника, http://help.sketchup.com/en/contact/pro-sales, ответа нет.

В России я знаю многих желающих которые хотели иметь лицензионную программу SketchUp PRO 2013 но не покупают потому что на русском языке нет SketchUp PRO 2013.

Разработчики - Продавцы SketchUp Pro наверное не заинтересованны в продажах на территории Российской Федерации Вашей SketchUp PRO.
Вы не предоставляете локализацию на русский язык, тем самым относитесь с пренебрежением к Российской Федерации и населению - пользователям России, это такая нехорошая политика SketchUp!

Так что Вы ответите, будет или нет локализованная руссоязычная версия SketchUp 2013?!

Благодарю.

Hi Igor,

I think SketchUp does support Russian. Have a look here, SketchUp in your language
http://sketchupdate.blogspot.ie/2009/02 ... guage.html

Also this site might be of interest to you, SYSSOFT
http://www.syssoft.ru/search/?q=sketchup

Also we have a Russian Forum here, viewforum.php?f=53 if it is easier for you to communicate.

Thank you for your responsiveness.

Sorry for bad English, Google translator:

All this was LONG ago, MANY YEARS AGO, why send me there where there is nothing new ... it's already in the past - history, NOW 2013!.

I asked a specific question and waiting for a concrete answer! Do You find it difficult to answer directly on the merits of the question?!

Thank you.

[Rich O Brien]

Alexia,

No one here is responsible for SketchUp. We don't develop or do anything related to development of SketchUp. .

It is a discussion board for SketchUp users.

I think you are better off bringing this up on the official SketchUp help forums.

Thanks for the clarification.

I was just hoping for an answer here, even from someone in order to have any information on.
Unfortunately the result is as always, Some do not want to ... , Others may not ... !

There is a saying in Russia on there and here no, Russians are smart people themselves will find a way ...!
