Thanks for the invite, Mike.  This is great!

Quick thumbnail sketch #1
It is only 3″x4″ in size and colored with markers and colored pencil using all six colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple). Outlined with Prismacolor black pencil.  Took only 5 minutes, it is a great way to communicate your great ideas quickly with your clients.  Remember, the best designers who don’t need t…[Read more]

Hy everybody¡¡ what about the shaderlight ?

After hosting LABash last year at Purdue – I’m excited to see everyone from FIU again and see how you guys run the show! Also can’t wait for a warm LABash 🙂

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]

Dears,,,,I am facing problem in sketch up 8,,,in moving cursor ,,,,and very slow,,,to rotate or flipping the models ,,is this problem cause i am using free version ,,,and i can not to import the CAD,s FILES ,,,,,PLZ ADVICE ,,,

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?

Hi
Does anyone have project info or links where I can find detail on landscape projects in Africa. Especially places out of South Africa.

Can’t wait!

All right! Go FIU! Cant wait to see everyone!

Thanks David and Bayazit.
I’ll have to check out some of those plug-ins, and while I’m at it I have to get V-Ray.
I’d love to see some samples of 3rd party plug-ins.

Hi Hefti,
 
you can find some examples at my DA Gallery 3D Jobs folder. Most of the recent works are produced with 3D vegetation, a combination of pre-made models, self-models used via proxies and rendered with MentalRay or Vray. Hopefully, they can give some idea.
 

Question: anyone have some pictures of examples of vegetation done in 3Ds?
 

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]

oh late night 3ds what would i do without you?

Also, any book suggestions for a general resource on phytoremediation?
