Sarayut, if you apply your materials, turn on the shadows to get the correct sun exposer, and place your rendering views in sketchup, save the file, you can open the model in 3DS Max you can press C and you will open a drop down menu that will direct you to pick one of the camera positions and then just render the view and everything will turn out…[Read more]

3D max is really cool but for the beginer like me might need some time to practice ,to me I looking for some thing that I can learn fast and the quality of the picture is similar to 3D max to explain my design, I also try MODO which is between SU and 3D max the problem is i need to convert the trees files from 3d max to Modo one by one ,so I give…[Read more]

Daniel- The image on the link is tremendous (with relative short render time as well). The plants look great.

I use Podium on a MAC. Although I like the results, residential clients are misdirected by the graphics and critique the plant textures instead of critiquing the design concepts.
I will continue to use Podium and adjust output settings until I have an appropriate solution for my design studies.

Another Rendering program that I have come to love is 3D Studio Max Design. You can set materials on the surfaces in sketchup along with camera positions and 3D Max will remember those when it brought into the program. Quality renderings and super easy to create quality renderings.

that’s cool thanks Daniel

welcome Sarayut

Dear all, I just joint the group and now trying V-ray for sketch up any suggestions about it is more than wellcome

Daniel thanks for the great webinar class, very informative. Andrew thanks for making it available through Land 8. Please keep me post for any upcoming webinars.

These webinars coupled with the book have been helpful beyond words. I am going to introduce it to our studio one people this fall.

Another great talk by Daniel. Since I’ve worked with Sketchup previously to bring in contour and other information from AutoCAD the small tips such as
* wblock the different layers in AutoCAD,
* make sure trees and things are blocks,
* create a standard measurement line (for use to orient the group horizontally once in Sketchup),
* make sure the…[Read more]

This information is awesome. Even though you cover a lot, it is very clear. And knowing that I can review it at my own pace makes me relax, not worry about note taking, and really understand. Thank you so much for this.

I love those webinars… they are really impressive and so much information!!! Kuddos Daniel!
Also, I have never received the link to the first sandbox video and would love to review it one more time. Please let me know where I could find it.
Thanks!

Another great session on the Sandbox Tool. I was able to follow along with understanding. Daniel, thanks a lot on all the resources, links and downloads you provide us…that is so awesome! I should be a pro in SU in no time…thanks!

Found the Sandbox Tools webinar tonight very informational. I have Daniel’s book also and I like how detailed it is. The book and the webinars are definitely companions for each other.
Thanks for offering these webinars!

Great webinar tonight July 8, thanks.

Just wanted to thank Daniel Tal for the class yesterday in building terrain. I’ll definitely watch the videos a couple more times to make sure i have it, but Daniel you were so clear in the presentation I have no doubt I’ll be fine. The biggest problem was shutting down my sketchup to get back to work on other things. No wonder it’s called…[Read more]

Daniel, Andrew and John, great session on the Sandbox tool! I enjoy these webinars a great deal, it provides me an online class setting that creates a visual impact to watch and to learn from.! Daniel you are a great instructor!! also, glad you have recordings to review over and over….love it!

Intro to Sandbox was really helpful to jumpstart my work. I look forward to future sessions.

Very good session. I was able to go into sketchup and create a basic terrain model right after the session.
