Not bad

I have used that at a client's before. He designs house plans. I tried it out by drawing a staircase. You have to manually draw all the dimensions - each aspect of the 3D image. It is amazing how you can pivot the view to see from all angles.

I really like it but would like it to render the 3D automatically.

Hmm. Nice app.

Tribble · Post by **Tribble** » 29 Jun 2007, 00:15

Ok - show off them. My stairs were architecturally correct

Wow - that is awesome. Guess I need to play with it more

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 29 Jun 2007, 00:22

Hey i can "show off" too

I do quite of lot of work in sketchup. Great app

Seems like I am the only one who hasn't really played with it. That will have to change. Show us your stuff Dae

Sorry for the hi res pics

Here's the mod i designed. Work on that mod should start soon, really soon:

I didn't make all of it though, but i made about 95% of it.

Here's the house i'm designing for my step dad (not finished, far far far from finished):

And here's the screen mod i'm designing. Also very far from done:

Also, here are links to the fan grille i quickly sketched a few nights ago. I made it in about 10 minutes for someone, just as an "alpha" design. Will still be tweaked very much:

I still have LOADS of other things if you wanna see

Tribble hangs her head in shame for she knows that her work will never match that of the Dae or the Mikdog.

Dae - that is awesome. I really did not know you guys were using the program to that extent. And knowing how difficult it is compared to some CAD packages, I am really impressed. Granted, once you get the hang of it, not a difficult program but having to draw the 3D aspects yourself - that takes talent.

Love the mod you have planned. At first I thought you were modding a hamster cage

because of the water bottles. But wow - really nice. Your fans are so realistic too. Maybe I should ask you to design my extra rooms that we want to add on to the house

:lol::lol:

And yes - I love looking at other's stuff. So please show us

Thanks Tribble

Glad you like it

The fans i did not model myself though. I downloaded those

Tribble · Post by **Tribble** » 29 Jun 2007, 08:20

Cool stuff anyway

Off-The-Chart · Post by **Off-The-Chart** » 29 Jun 2007, 08:54

I only see a huge office block...

ecthelion · Post by **ecthelion** » 29 Jun 2007, 09:10

isnt that genecide? (hope i spelt it right

)

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 29 Jun 2007, 09:29

Yeah ecthelion, that is Genocide

OTC: That's the house my family will be building

The sketch doesn't look that cool now yet, i need to populate the house with stuff first

Tribble · Post by **Tribble** » 29 Jun 2007, 09:33

And the program comes with predesigned elements like furniture, fittings, etc

No it doesn't. You can download stuff like that though. Problem is that that serves no purpose in my case as i need to model our exact furniture. No problem, i enjoy it

BTW, it took me about 8 hours to model that house, and about 20 to model that PC

Tribble · Post by **Tribble** » 29 Jun 2007, 09:47

Now that is quick. Really quick. Took me half an hour to do a staircase hehe

ecthelion · Post by **ecthelion** » 29 Jun 2007, 09:56

DJV -> well that designs have major details...didnt except it 2 b a quick job

does this program have better renders in the pictures? (more life like looking) or does it always look flat? im studying architecture (3rd year) and always interested in learning new programs.

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 08 Aug 2007, 21:11

Sketchup isn't very detailed, so yeah, it basically looks like that

PureFire · Post by **PureFire** » 01 Feb 2008, 12:43

you guys are friggen amazing in sketch up...
how difficult is it to learn to model in it?

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 01 Feb 2008, 13:27

It's not that hard, pretty much point and click
