francis_nyc@everyone
ReplyDeleteMy challenge entry is up and running. It depicts my playground... circa early 60's when I wasn't out in Scranton for summer with my Uncle Vinny and his FixIt shop. The city street. This street. One of many identical streets throughout the Five boroughs. The download consists of Five Sketchup Scenes and pulls back each time to give one a pretty good overall view.
Hope you like.
PS: Thnx for voting me Second with my Snorkelers Camera.
I finished my model and the renders today, you can see them here .
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it, have fun !

In fact, have you stopped adding the models into collections or it's just temporary ?
ReplyDelete@ DesignsbyALX
ReplyDeleteHey Nijmegenaar! (ik kom uit de buurt) Mooie speeltuin heb je daar! Ben zelf ook een "toestel aan het maken. Meer het Leemkuil idee :P
Groeten
*updated playground*
ReplyDeleteNow it's real playground!
Picasa
SU
Great, I love your new arrangements !
ReplyDeleteAnd you made me wanna add some more things, so I did.
@ Henkie Tenk;
ReplyDeleteDaar heb ik ook aan zitten denken!
Ik ben uiteindelijk voor dit idee gegaan omdat het wat meer variatie biedt! En zo kunnen mensen zelf ook weer een beetje spelen! ;)
@ Dilbert™
ReplyDeleteof course the slide was made with sketchup.
@ all
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone has a trick to make a slide a little more quickly? I made a spiral and then follewed it with a cirkle. Then you have a spiral tube. Not that difficult. But making the slide open like mine is a lot more time-consuming! I had to draw lines on the tube and then erase the upper half. I already tried it with a spiral and a half circle, but that doesn't work --> the slide will be upside down at the end.
Anyone any suggestions?
well here it is - not actually a normal playground but my imagination is not normal haha - this is ship 1 of many that will end up being the whole set - shown here with swimming pool for the diving plank effect - but will eventually have a pond with several ships of different types to complete the whole area - just didn't have time for all - also somehow i managed to acidentally load it into google earth and can't figure out how to get it out but working on it =)
ReplyDeleteanyway hope you like it i had fun and still having fun

ReplyDelete@ ChrisBence
ReplyDeleteI create separate folders for each project, a file name is not necessary for me. And I worked on its several days not at once, that would be crazy. haha :P
Everyone seems to have done good on this challenge. I don't have an entry this week but you can see what I worked on this week: Star Wars CrawlIt's the opening crawl for Star Wars: A New Hope done in SketchUp. Play the animation to see it. Enjoy

ReplyDelete3:dracoscove
ReplyDeleteNice idea, and nice work. Some suggestions; some things have zero thickness, like the half-barrel and the windows in the back of the ship aren't fitting well.
2: DesignsbyALX
Good componentwork, but als a bit to much. The model looks very big and complex, but at the end, its al the same component. But nonetheless, it works out! Good job!
1: Moboille
Good chains, nice idea and nice model! Maybe using some brighter colors, may help it look more childish
And the are more good models, but I haven't got any points left!
Tatatataaaa, my points for this weeks challenge;
ReplyDelete3 points go to Dilbert, for his great looking hubs! Overall not the best playground, but personaly, i like that look!
2 point go to DF Andy. It sure as h*ll looks like mine, ( ;) ) so i can do nothing else than award you with these points!
1 point goes to Chris Bence for his Water Park Playstructure. Nice colors, and probable the most fun playground (for me anyways)'cause water adds a lot of fun!
WHAT's NEXT? ;)
tough voting the are all good , so i went with what looked fun to me =)
ReplyDelete3 points underwater playground - by JD - although no entrance it's a great idea looks like a barrel o fun =)
2 points cableway - by henkie tenk , i have always wanted to do one of these at my moms on the river and still might one day =)
1 point the playground - by designs by alx , i used to do alot of underground forts with my pals when a kid although i would have made more of it underground it's still good job =)
Oh and by the way designs by ALX the second entry was my wife =) we just haven't made another account yet - also we just got a new house and in the process of moving so not alot of time - hopefully we can do another challenge before we move because it might be a few weeks before we get to do another but we'll be back
ReplyDelete@Dracoscove;
ReplyDeleteGdm, i wish i had a wife like that. Mine realy doesn't like Sketchup. :(
And for the underground remark; I started on a B vesion with a bigger basement, but halfway through, i thought hey what the heck, let's leave it at my original entry! And next to this, i just hope that somepeople make their own versions, wich would proof to me it's a playable model!
@LoganC;
Where the H is that next challenge?! It's almost Friday!!!
@ henkie tenk - thnx for my first vote =) and yes some things are kinda done in a crude manner - lol more than just what you pointed out but i spent so much time on the rest of it i kinda got in a hurry to try and finish - but i am doing a few more ships to go with it for a final product since it was so much fun and will change a few things to improve it
ReplyDeleteTerribly Sorry everyone!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be probably another few hours before I get the new challenge up. I'm quite busy at the moment, so bear with me!
