Google Sketchup: Skatepark Design 12

[ALIKZ289]

look slick 

[mrAmazing607]

Thisis hard to make

[97jfox]

which version of sketchup do you use

??

[KTownRiderVT]

@thisismirul

Is there any possible way you can send this to my email. Like the actual plan? i love this design and would be willing to make it a real park. But i would need dimensions and plans.

[cmccorkill]

I skate but it would be hard for beginers and to many grind boxes

[thisismirul]

@cmccorkill hmm. i have a very different opinion on that. i think this skatepark is for beginners. 2 stair. small hubba, small mini, mini pyramids. :)

[skreim]

what tiles or colors do you use?

[mason53mason]

Crappy song

[thisismirul]

@mason53mason how about the design?

[thisismirul]

@mason53mason well it's not that important, kid.

[evoker818]

hey man you think its ok for me to use some of ur ideas for this game i play skate 3

i could prob remake some of these parks in there for other people to skate in the game..

ur parks look really sick so yeah .

[Inatje]

@evoker818 i already asked and ,btw it free to make on skate but not coping on sketchup

[skreim]

how do u get the camera moving like that?

[thisismirul]

@skreim use the scene tools. look for tutorials on that around youtube. :)

[i2funforu]

its gone

[gr8n8skater]

Please design more, i am thinking of asking the mayor to build a skate plaza in my city and i cant settle on a good design. yours are amazing and realistic!

[fgcarva1]

what's the song BTW I'm flagging the other dude's vid.

and faved :D

[thisismirul]

@fgcarva1 the song's in the description. thanks a lot dude. :)

[Inatje]

@fgcarva1 i know how! think about ricks on obsticals and put them together

[thisismirul]

@Inatje that's right buddy.

[Inatje]

@thisismirul btw i ment tricks lol!

[thisismirul]

@Inatje yeah i know. :)

[pilzbmx]

come on.... use your opportunitys .... your parks are realy good !! but my parks (and stuff ) are going to be realy build so you have to use your opportunitys !! take a look at "Maverickindustries" thats the standard... i`m close to this quality... best regards !

[thisismirul]

@pilzbmx yup. i watched maverick skateparks. it was awesome and i was very inspired by their design and still learning to create more dynamic and creative designs.

[thisismirul]

@pilzbmx i doubt that my designs will be built, not in my country anyways.

anyway, maverick industries uses a very good rendering system, they probably have a powerful rendering pc for professionals cause obviously it's a company. for me, i don't really have the rendering power create such videos. But still im researching for good rendering software and 3d modellers. and btw im just doing this as a hobby. :)

[pilzbmx]

@thisismirul some helpful words for you: Kerkythea, Soapskinbubble....im just using a 2ghz dual to make my stuff...

[thisismirul]

@pilzbmx lol. then what do you use to render. mine's 2.6ghz quad. :P

i just cant seem to find a good renderer. i used some free ones but they sucks.

[pilzbmx]

@thisismirul i use kerkythea , it`s a question of settings ! my new kidney animation needed 24 hours to render(without soft-shadows!). i think maverik uses v-ray and 3ds or catia v 6 .... in neer future i become a 3,4 ghz quad and then i finaly got my slave-PC .

[thisismirul]

@pilzbmx dude, thanks a lot for the information. i'm really going to try to render it using kerkythea later. cool stuff!

[uglypornstar]

@pilzbmx is this english? =S =P

[pilzbmx]

@uglypornstar : what do you meen ?

[uglypornstar]

@pilzbmx nvm

[09PlanBSkater]

what program do u use to record this?

[thisismirul]

@09PlanBSkater use the export function in the software itself. google sketchup 7.

[399Oddball]

so sick im offically in love with your parks could you please make more

[da1nonly345]

Really nice parks man. I want to do the same thing that's why I'm going to school to become an architect so I can actually start building some of my ideas lol but I use rhino and 3dmax to render my projects. Keep it up

[FR3Estuff]

i'm still having difficulty exporting it, i make the animation, i go to export animation, but it comes out shit quailty, any help?

[thisismirul]

@FR3Estuff Before you sove the filename for the exported file, there's an option button on the bottom right corner of the window. Click on that. If you want it to be HD, set it to1280 x 720 for 720p. You can also change the frame rate.

[FR3Estuff]

YET again! you are a life saver!! :)

what frame rate do you reccomend?

[thisismirul]

@FR3Estuff The optimal frame rate is 24 frame per second but you can put more tough. You don't want to put to much fps cause it will make it longer to render.

[FR3Estuff]

cheers, check out my new vid i gave you a shout out ;)

[amirulbangi]

Nice one!

[thisismirul]

@amirulbangi  Thanks.

[kweecap]

nice man!

[thisismirul]

Thanks.!

[MattKaye93]

just downloaded a screen video capture my sketchups mega laggy at the moment so ile wait till it speeds up a little and upload it tonight :)

[MoltanCS]

You have really inspired me man! Now i've started to do snow stuff instead, like rails for snowboard/skis

[thisismirul]

Glad to hear that. I'm also interested in snowboarding but i haven't tried it yet. =P

[MattKaye93]

I still need to download the scene tools and record my sketchup plazas and load them up good work on yours though

[thisismirul]

the scene tools is available by default. thanks. :)

[bmxude]

I love your skateparks i know there made for skaters but im very much into street bmx nd they look awesome to ride. i use google sketchup but is usually do more bowls and tht kinda thing

[thisismirul]

Thanks. I'm a skateboarder myself and i prefer street and plaza stuff so that influenced my design. I'm still learning to create bowls and pools because they have a lot of curves and stuff. =)

In the future, maybe there will be more bowls and transitions.

[pilzbmx]

nice work ! you need to get V-Ray for sketchup

[thisismirul]

Thank you. Yeah, i tried some photorealistic rendering plugins before and V-ray is nice.

[pilzbmx]

yeah ! i got it (o: .i`m rigth now rendering since a week !! maybe its done at weekend ... i hope it looks good...

[FR3Estuff]

AMAZING! where do you get your ideas for these parks? when i make parks i can never get the gaps and stuff, help!?

[thisismirul]

I usually get ideas and inspiration from skate videos, street spots and stuff that i wish i can skate on. Lay it out and draw it on paper, combine it together and there you go, you have a skatepark. :P

[FR3Estuff]

how did you record this btw x

[thisismirul]

export it directly from sketchup. Use the scene tools, set the scenes and export it.

[FR3Estuff]

thanks man, please sub me :) huck me up we could do a joint project or something! :) x

[heymaxsup]

oh and could you tell me what grass texture you use? thanks

[thisismirul]

Thanks. The texture is 'Vegetation_Juniper2'. And yeah, gotta love the gap. =)

[heymaxsup]

pretty sick man, the grass gap looks hella fun
