Reply To: Help! Making Sketchup more realistic

[Chuck B. Edwards]

I think it mostly depends upon the client’s needs. I mostly deal with residential clients and anything beyond SketchUp is overkill (that’s just my opinion, and I have been known to be wrong before). Larger developments might need a more finished look – but maybe not. We are selling ideas/designs, not pretty pictures (well the drawing has to look good at least).
I really think that each designer will have the program they feel most comfortable with and go with. I don’t think there is a right answer – each program will have there +/-

See some designs here, most are done with SketchUp.

my 2 cents for the day…. sorry for rambling.
