Your modeling is really kickin butt. You have a real knack for it. Just got your chests yesterday and have used 1 of them ready. They are great man. And a big thanks for putting them up for free. You are the man!!!!! -Bruce

Awesome! My jaw is still on the floor. Thank you for showing them here. I love seeing things like this. :-D

Thank you, Bruce. :) And thank you, Ang25! :) I am happy that you like the Chest Set freebie! Modelling is a key for me - like Bryce - to explore new worlds. In rendering, I like all kind of image types/ scenes. But in modelling I've found that architectual works are the ones I like most. Fortunately I can combine both in Bryce. :) J.

What modeling app do you use?

Wow!!! Your modelling is fantastic! Very creative and very, very well done. What software are you using to do the modelling?

Thank you. :-) For modelling, I use a fairly unknown, but highly effective application - SketchUp. It's kind of a CAD program, but it is so easy to use for me. You can download a fully functional trial version at www.sketchup.com. J.

Exclamation marks all over the place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are fantastic Jimi you are such a talented guy, I just love these models. My modelling skills are very weak but I'm so impressed when I see the work of someone who can model. 8) Great work Catlin

Thanks. When and if the Mansion interior is ever finished it will be released as freebie to you. :-) J.

Woohoo!!!!! You are the man Jimi. There is also great news for you students out there, you can get an edu version of Sketchup that only costs 50 which I think is around $70-75. 8) Catlin

Awesome models, isn't radiosity fun?

These are awesome, you have my utmost respect, your models are just fantastic. I dl your chest's and a big thanks for them as freebies. Can't wait for the cathedral and the others to be released, I have images planned for all of them. Go Derjimi, the model master!

When i can get myself picked up off the floor from being in total awe maybe i may be able to try that link out .A-1+ job.

My, you have been a busy guy lately haven't you? These are outstanding looking models Jimi! it's hard to pick a favorite becuase they are all excellent! You've inspired me. :-)

way to go.

Wow! Good work! I especially liked the starsip interior.

Woo! That's some impressive modelling! Looks very good.

awesome modelling skills you have !!!! I couldn't tell which one i like best ... i love 'em all!! Excellent stuff :)

WOW WOW WOW!!! simply fantastic, all of them! And I love your chests too. you have an amazing talent! thank you for sharing your talent

Jimi, the first image, is that the window you used in a challenge a couple of months back?

Wow! Those are going to be sooooo sweet! (tasty now too!) Very cool work.

Thanks for the view and the tip on the program derjimi, Downloading it as we speak.

Catlin, yes, I used an early version of my church. I also used it in "The warriors prayer" and "Adventurer's End". --- All your kind comments make me really blush. Thank you so much! Jimi

quick note- cathedrals are usually in the shape of a cross..no problem for you, of course..long central hall, and two short wings near the front. The overall dimensions were based on what little they knew/used of materials. Just a bit more height, and some flying buttresses, and you're there (unless it's not a Gothic cathedral..either way, all within your talents..;) Only been in a few cathedrals meself, mind ye..;) I'll check out the program..don't know if I could do this in Wings..;)

Hold on, hold on! laughing This really is a fantasy church and has nothing in common with real ones. I mean - look at the windows! You won't find these anywhere in real life. :) I wanted a small church, with fairly low ceiling and windows which play with the light. :-) Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it! J.

I'm amazed!! I've been playing with Amapi, - and I asure you, modelling doesn't come easy to me. These are great!

no problem..;) that's the beauty of modelling, a few tweaks, and voila!, new model..;) Considering all the churches there are, you might find one out there with windows like that..heck, a few domes, and ya gotta mosque..;) Just keep on bringin' out that good stuff..

This is fabulous stuff, Jimi. I'm gobsmacked! Just a small thing, and I appreciate that all this is a WIP, you might wanna put rainpipes/guttering on your mansion......

Rainpipes! I knew I forgot something, thanks! :) J.

I think Bryster is after total realism. 8)

I find it interesting that Jimi models in grey or that greeny/yellow. I always use the orangy-brown stuff....but then I use bright red and bright green to test for collisions and bad fits........ Catlin, this is a real as I want it to get......
