Truely inspirational! This is going to be the first thing I'll show people when they slag-off Sketchup.

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. .

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"... 
Cheers Kim Frederik

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.

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!

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.

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!

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
