The Making of 412 Broadway

Detail of Scott Baumberger rendering from www.sketchupartists.org

Read this! A very cool, readable article about how to create a non-photorealistic (NPR) architectural rendering by Scott Baumberger. He uses SketchUp, Shaderlight renderer, and Photoshop.

The article can be found here on sketchupartists.org. Via the Google SketchUp Facebook page.

St. Basil Re-Modeled


Arrigo Silva's beautiful model regains top spot and its place on Google Earth after some dramatic improvements from fellow modeler Peterg / gipuzkoa3d.

I have added it to these 3D model collections: Place of Worship, 1840s and Earlier, My Favorite Models, My Favorite Thumbnails

EDIT: A detailed illustrated essay about the cathedral by Arrigo Silva can be found here
