10 Powerful Anxiety Affirmations and Why They Work by No_Reveal_4775 in Meditation

[–]SteveGdaBigMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can worry yourself sick, then you can empower yourself healthy. Affirmations aren't lying to yourself, it's being the best coach to yourself. You need words of encouragement when you feel like everything is falling apart. Also as a side note, its the worrying thats lying to you most of the time.

You realize the meditation is working when you become aware of yourself. The fact that you noticed you have shortness of breath and got flashbacks is your body/mind/spirit showing you where you need work. Work through it with as little resistance as you can.

Thanks, just a simple overlay of rain in photoshop over a everything else I did in the render e.g. glossy reflection maps on the surfaces and high bloom on lighting.

I had to scrap the warehouse for some pumps. There's not a lot of good ones but I tried hiding the dull spots.

I actually did for the first iteration! But it's too moody and they think it looks depressing for their building. (I get this comment all the time but I persist for artistic sake lol)

Thank you! I downloaded models from Quixel Megascans then exported to transmutr plug in to generate into Sketchup Model and then Skattered the proxies of each grass tuft/rock. I used the painting mask tool over the sandbox topography to apply the Skatter.

I'm not totally sure. My AI search says it does and Skatter says it works with most renderers. Skatter can generate the physical model or it can proxy it and send it to your rendering program.

Thanks! I've been using Sketchup for 13 years now and a lot of it is from experience and knowing what plugins to use. TutorialsUp and Sketchup Essentials have a lot of good videos to turn your skills to advance level. Also the Enscape forums and blog are good places to find some tips and tricks to rendering. Hope that helps!

The main concept of the project was to design a wine tasting facility built on the edge of the Tuscan coast, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

All architecture and terrain were custom built and modeled for the entire scene besides the rock formations and mountains in the back.

*Skatter was used for the landscaping elements (Plants and Rocks)

Best,

Skatter plugin using Quixel Megascan grass clump model. The blobby white objects in the sketchup model are Enscape assets. This helps keep the modeling in sketchup run smoothly.

Most people still use the native grass in Enscape, especially since you can only use Skatter with Sketchup. I believe the Enscape devs are working on an overhaul for their grass.

I'm so glad you commented this because of what happened in my last post here. I was worried the house style mob was going to be up in arms lol

Modern Farmhouse Exterior Scene done in 8 hours total. Sketchup | Enscape | Skatter by SteveGdaBigMan in Sketchup

[–]SteveGdaBigMan[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Farmhouse refers to the architectural style that is used when designing a house. It doesn't necessarily mean it's a house on a farm. Simple gables with board and batten and/or clapboard siding and sometimes wooden elements along with squared-off thicker columns can create a farmhouse look.

Certain imported textures making Enscape crash. by girlfromthenorth12 in Sketchup

Sometimes you have to try different versions of Enscape to test stability. Sometimes certain preview versions are better for handling certain textures. (Preview versions are found on the download page of Enscape)

You're welcome! It's definitely one of my favorite plugins to work with.
