BTW, merlin you use... eum... Kerkythea(?), right? does it give better renders than podium?

[Merlin1701]

I dont know i have never used podium...I do find kerkythea easy to use and quick to render.

[tjoflojt]

well, i don't... i downloaded it, but all i can do is open it. sketchup files aren't supported, or something like that... some help?

[Merlin1701]

flo, did you download the plugins for sketchup, if so did you put them in the sketchup folder plugins.

[tjoflojt]

I did now, however, i can't seem to find/use sketchup files anyway.

EDIT: Ah, problem solved i somehow managed to make a plugin folder inside the plugin folder when i installed it

My Alpha Site shipyard...

I stress that this is very early on in the design! I will make lots of changes yet. I have not decided upon a name for the design but bison class shipyard is pretty high up.

Spoiler:

Merlin could I use this model as a shipyard in 4.0?

[tjoflojt]

Anyway, managed to get a basic grasp of it, and here's a render

Spoiler:

just to clarify, they are supposed to be missile silos.

EDIT: the light is a tad strong, how do i change stuff?

[boberth2o]

Whens 4.0 coming?

[Experiment 442]

very soon... They're just cleaning stuff up at the moment.

Update time :

Got a bit of work done.

You should break up the bottom of the neck more

[Experiment 442]

do you mean add more stuff, or take some away?

Because I'm not finished with the neck yet. I'm going to change the pipes at the front part of the neck into something else, not too keen on them.

[boberth2o]

Well everything was all linear/parallel and right next to eachother.

[tjoflojt]

what kind of missile silo should i go with? i'm a bit torn...

Spoiler:

This?

or this?
