@Chris. The guide from mr. Haskin is terrific. Thanks a lot for sharing this, very useful. I was wondering how to get this effect for quite a long time, since I am autodidactic. Appreciate it.

Hi Daniel!
I became a promember of Land8 and I´m seeing some of Daniel Tal´s webinars on Sketchup. They are really easy to follow and very useful. There are also some photoshop webinar recordings but I haven´t been able to see those yet.
Hope this helps!

Hey There,
I have spent the last 3 years in a technical project management position and have become a bit rusty in the are of computer graphics using Sketchup and Photoshop in combination with each other.  Obviously, this is such an integral part of practicing our profession these days so I want to get better at this.

Quite useful!

I had problems the whole time I was in school with my desktop crashing because my video card didn’t have enough umph. What solved the problem was more memory in the video card itself. You can also check the auto-cad sight to make sure any card you are thinking of getting is ok with auto-cad. The laptop I bought when I graduated is a 64-bit with a…[Read more]

Awesome… thanks for the tips… that’s exactly what I was looking for.
THANKS!

I can attest to newer Geforce cards.  I have a 470 from last year, and it runs like a champ.  MIGHT end up going to a dual card setup, but that’s caused more by “Battlefield 3” than work…

Can anyone recommend me a video card to be able to work on Sketch up, photoshop, illustrator and CAD? I am getting a new computer and wanted to see the minimum requirements I should have to support all those software.

Thank you

Hy everybody¡¡ what about the shaderlight ?

Dear Zach,,,,Thank you very much for such valuable information,,,one more question ,,,Is there are many differences between the free version and payable one ?,,,,best regards,,,,kiwan

In regards to the first comment about the program operating very slow, I would guess that either there are so many objects in the file that it is making the program run slow, or hardware on your computer such as your CPU and/or your Memory are not fast enough for the program.  In regards to the CAD to Sketchup, Google removed that option in the…[Read more]

Daniel,
I like the Dynascape SketchUP.  Is the Dynascape easy to work with using their SketchUP landscape SketchUP plant materials? 

Looking good as always Daniel! My only complaint is the people, in that I hate them, in that I don’t have them. I’ll send you some of my newer stuff today to see what you think.

What rendering tool did you use for that model?

Does anyone have an opinion about the value of Dynascape for SketchUp – the plant library in particular?

Hey Daniel – I have a quick (hopefully) question. I tried to create a shade structure, but I can’t seem to figure out how to control the direction the fabric is taking. On the attached SU file, I would like the fabric to have a downward curve (showing the gravity) and instead I have an upward curve. Is there a quick way of changing the curve……[Read more]

Hey Dave. One way would be to map appropriate landform/vegetation/sky images to a curved background similar to these at SCF. You could also do a search for sky dome at SCF or in the 3D Warehouse. If you intend to fly right up to the edge of the TIN, you might also need to extend the surface out a ways to meet at the image. By matching the…[Read more]
