/3/ - 3DCG

I know, there is no disputing that but guess what... it's a "paid" one... you can be the best at render or even best at 3D in general and you probably are but if you can't deliver the goods on time or on budget then good luck finding a steady stream of paying clients...

OK... let me rephrase it... UE may not be "that" bad but for my workflow where quantity is a matter of life and death for my business, UE is not worth it... Again, too much time and effort to produce results that can be achieved faster in Lumion. Client does not care what tools you use to deliver the renders. What they care is they get it in the shortest time possible...

UE is not good for Architecture... very bad engine... at least in my case... too much effort for something that my client will only look for like an hour at most. Also, training staff takes time and money and chances are they'll leave me for greener pastures anyway. I live in a country where Architects and architectural services in general are paid relatively cheap so in order for my business to float, I have to streamline and eliminate potential bottlenecks in my work process and crank things up at a much faster rate than most Western Architects are comfortable with. Invested in Lumion 2 and recently upgraded to Lumion 7 (cannot upgrade to 8 yet... too expensive to justify the features). In Lumion, all I need is to import then adjust a few materials while sitting with client and when client is satisfied, we finalize, call it a day and move on to contractor who will build things for me while I prepare for the next job...

...my attempt using Sketchup

More than a week ago I posted a notice looking for someone familiar with / knows how to use Sketchup, AutoCAD or other 2D CAD Formats. While I am grateful at those who responded, there seems to be a bit of misunderstanding because nearly all the price quotes are for finished rendered images / animated movie walkthrough which is not exactly what we are looking for.

Basically, what we need is a "Native" Sketchup model based on 2D CAD Drawings. Model must be layered and grouped to make viewing the inside of the model easier. Model must have basic textures / color. No Rendering / Shadow Bake required. Preferred but not required, Sketchup 8 format. (See illustration attached)

Job is per project basis.

Email us at: info@solterraph.com

Please, give us a price quote and how long will it take to do. (Example: A home/house and a Large Factory). Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Regards,

John

I've been told that this place is filled with talented 3D people. Good day, I'm from Solterra Real Estate. Looking for someone who can read/port AutoCad Drawing to Sketchup. Don't worry about texturing, we just need geometry. Please email me at "info@solterraph.com" so we can work on details, compensation and everything.

Thank you and looking forward to working with you guys.
