haha i have made a bit of a fool of myself but i was a bit high on pain killers and paint thinners so head wasnt working...sweet...so now how does everyone learn or know how to render the projects or ideas of their mods on sketchup? its impossible!

 

the program is pretty easy to use, I found it really easy because I have taken mechanical and architectural AutoCAD classes before

 

"impossible" so far from the truth it's bizarre.
If you want photographic style renders look for Podium.

 

Hey guys. I am looking for a Zalman fan controller (6 fans) and a Vizo Master Control Panel 2.

 

For those who do these awesome motherboards, how do you do it? I want to do some boards that you guys haven't modeled yet...

 

We've got some new items by MadVez in the latest items in the SCC.

 

@KayinBlack: First take a good dead-on (straight from the front) photo of the board. Then start with the pcb in sketchup, make it the right diameters. Then apply the photo as a texture. You can use the components in the photo as a guide for the placement of the components in the model. For capacitors you just draw a circle and use push/pull.

Oh and jazzle, I got some models at my site that you can add to the scc.

 

I was waiting for someone to do a fillport, I made a homemade one but it didn't look that good

the tip on the fill port where there's a big circle and then a littler one, how do they do that???

 

To make the truncated cone, just make a cylinder and adjust the radius of the circles.

 

Haven't I got those already?

 

Not all of them

 

Greatly appreciated. I'll hopefully be adding a few of my own models shortly with that info...

 

Man, how long does it take for you guys to make those models?

 

I have sum "homemade" watercooling stuff if you want me to add to your collection

res, water blocks, barbs, manifolds, t-lines, and an unfinished external watercooling system

 

I usually only add models of items you can buy.

 

could we perhaps have a "how to" of making models?

 

You can find some great how-tos on the links below.

These are SU forums with a lot of info and resources, if you really want some help you should register and ask the SU gurus their. They are very helpful and you can learn a lot from the community. You can also see the great rendering other SU artist are doing.

Hope this help everyone who has questions about Sketchup....Scooby

 

I was doing a few pumps for a friend and now that I'm done I thought I'd share it with you all.

1. Koolance Pump Nozzle Base w/ Laing DDC Pump.


2. Laing DDC with PetrasTech DDCT 01s Top Combo.


Just a little sketchy about the Koolance pump, I was working off of just pictures.

Hey jazzle, how do I upload to you again...its been a while.

Also have a question for you guys, I am doing a motherboard too and when I bring in a photo as texture it come in tiled...meanning when I move the component the texture does not move with it and the alinement get off. Its like the texture stays fix in tile mode. Am I doing something wrong? Big thank for the help.
