[Gaieus]

...I wouldn't be surprised if Google is interested in showcasing this project...

I think we should make sure this happens
OMG OMG OMG!

[kwistenbiebel]

hi guys.. i really take my posts really seriously so no mocking, off topic subjects. My (candy 1) was a bit frustrating when someone started to post waay off topic work on there about wallie the robot. No offense, i see this as pieces im really proud of, so biebel its fine what youve posted. Just dont do waht happened last time guys. Thanx.

You're right about that.
I edited my post above and made that image into a clickable link. That will keep your thread clean.

And yeah, as Gaieus said, your work would make great promo material for Google Sketchup.

Have done my best already.

[sepo]

Wow.... Amazing work Silver...

[Frederik]

Based on the comments posted, I sure look forward to get home and watch it...
Here at my office I can't see anything, since the images are hosted on a site, which is being blocked by "Web-sense"...

[dazza]

Bliksem!!!!

Awesome work Jaques, you make us proud!

[Teezer]

Just damn!

Wonderful work, Silver. I can certainly see the hours in the details. You are an inspiration to us all...

[Jackson]

Hi there again. I am sure you guys are glad to see me again. This is probably the most anticipated model building project I have ever taken on...

hi guys.. i really take my posts really seriously so no mocking, off topic subjects. My (candy 1) was a bit frustrating when someone started to post waay off topic work on there about wallie the robot.

Yep, very impressive models and renders Jacques, but I imagine you'd get even more praise if you demonstrated some humility like the rest of SCF's contributers.

[silver_shadow]

im sorry to those i have offended

[madllama]

Wow!!

Jacques, im just blown away. Can't quite understand that those last pics are renders. As many others have said, you are a true inspiration to us all. Keep up the just amazing work and keep sweeping us off our feet!

[geh4evr]

Jacques, That is truly Perfect! I honestly thought only a program like 3DS Max could do that! As others have said, you really pushed the boundary's of SketchUp!

Let him have is 15 minutes of fame Jackson.

He deserves to have more than 15 minutes of fame. Doesn't mean he can start insisting that all the yellow M&Ms are removed and no one is allowed to look him in the eyes though.

If he wants to wear sunglasses at night, that's up to him.

Guys lets stay on topic here, it's about his amazing work not his character.

[Aernoud]

This is OBVIOUSLY THE BEST SU MODEL I'VE EVER SEEN!!!
Sure this is fantastic!

Buetifull to see such amazing work with SU, SU is one of the best 3d programs...
And this project shows us its true!!

[chiphines]

Absolutely beautiful work. Thanks so much for sharing this, and for showing the progression in development. Im a newbie, but this really demonstrates what is possible.

[drewpoeppel]

Not much more to say. Thanks again for sharing, especially the process, really helps. Your machine must be a beast!

[gaganraj]

so rad!

i have a question... between image #6 and #7 of your process - there is a huge jump in level of detail. how did you do it?

again, really inspirational work. sketchup needs someone to really push the boundaries of the app. and show others what it can do!

keep rockin' it!

[HFM]

Posted today and already 4 pages of comments The detail you put in there is amazing!!! I'm still working to get my skill[z] to eye candy 1 level ... No seriously very good work, love the process images

Big Blasting Silver,

My arrival here this morning is clouded by last nights beer, however the Jack bird hat must come off to you as I squint.

Bring that action, and have a sandwich.

Have a par of sandwiches and a big tall boy... And some ice for a chaser.

Rocking get a bit of pleasure lotions and get lubricated, take the day, and have a killer lay down rest.

Wondering about your experiences with Maxwell...

You use the SU plug in, or export obj to bring that action in...

Did I just hammer that out?

Did I tickle the lettered teeth in such a manner?

Jack bird light it up Mr. SS.

i understand Coen.(sigh, you guys are really rubbing this in my face)
I did not meant it to sound like that, but merely that im back with another model. no to brag
Between step 6 to 7 i did a lot of work on one file and did not keeptabs on those days that passed, my bad.
About maxwell, i did not set up specail materials in skp, just named them so i can change them once they are in maxwell. I used maxwell studio to work on those textures till im happy and just rendered...the rest is basic photoshop work with the output file.
To all those ive offended, saying what i did not meant to say, ill re think my wods carefully next time...my bad
i'm also upset how you guys reacted about it, making me feel i dont wanna post future candy models. i'm only very passionate about modelling.
I do not go and say whaaaaa im better than you... i do not have a personality problem, just merely want to share something that is really close to my heart and inspire others to push their sketchup the limits

[silver_shadow]

The system im using is not also a monster of a machine.
dual core 3.4 intel
intel motherboard with 667 ddr ram (2gb)
geforce 8600gt 256mb graphics card
But would love a faster machine to speed up rendering times hee hee

[silver_shadow]

but to those who loved this..thanx a lot, it really means a lot to me
madllama : those last 3 images are photomerges. The helicopters are renders, with a little bit of dirt on it put onto photos i have found on the internet

[JuanV.Soler]

get a hug Silver and return¡¡¡

[dale]

What astounding work. And thanks for sharing your methods. Please post more.
