I don't think you can get rid of shadows. Not sure though.

I take screenshots, paste them into Photoshop and resize them.

There's a shadow renderer in SketchUp; you can turn it off (I don't know which operating system you're on, I use OS X). Actually, flickr has perfect sizing for these fora, all you have to do is go to File > Export > 2D Graphic and upload the .jpg image to flickr, copy the image address and IMG tag it here.

Thanks!!!

A Few random pics here, a lil look into the house

[Captain.Remy]

Very interesting, you seem to be a great desginer !

[BBsupreme]

Thanks!! ya really think so?????

House Piccies!!!!!!!
My house is very ummmm circular and full of glass walls. No matter what room hm are in they will be able to see every other room so the is literally no privicy. The only rooms you can not see into from other rooms will be the bathroom, toliets, and the diary room, as each room is revealed you will see what i mean. I didnt do an outside of the house or entrance just the actual house.

Main Living Area, Kitchen and Dinning Area.

This is the entrance/exit to the house.


This is the lil seat that is always in the living area. Red and Purple and is completely madeout of cushiony stuff lol


The kitchen,
has wodden and grassy surfaces, the grassy surfaces are actually artificial grass to add to the affect. Has a few random diff height grassy surfaces to add to the anoyance of them being in the way.




The blue outlined cuboard furthest to the left is the freezer that pulls out and the other 2 are fridges.


Dinning Area,
has a round table with 12 stalls around it.


All the stalls are a diff height again to add to anoyance.






So then what do ya think????
More pics soon!!!!!!!

My favourite room is the kitche, awesome.
But maybe the lounge is a little too bit. I love the vlash of the colours !

[BBsupreme]

i havent shown the lounge yet, that purple a red seat is just like a sofa there not the actual lounge lol

Diary Room Wall

This is the diray room button as i shown before.


The button is actually on the door and the whole circle in this pic is the diary room door, preety big door lol.


And for the first time ever the diary room is outside in the garden

[Matt]

[Captain.Remy]

[Conzors]

2 words..

Wo Ow!!!

[KKBL]

its realy realy good and its clear that you put alot of work into it!keep up the good work!

[BBsupreme]

Ok first house didnt work out as planned so now working on a second house.
And i was wondering if someone could design me an eye (i cant do eyes) plz to go with the house a purple and green one would be nice lol ta

Outside of house


Entrance
The entrance is a circular glass tube which enables the crowd to see the housmates when inside the tube.
The first door will b opend by the 2 security quards and the second one will slide open like previous doors


Inside Tube


Stair Way
The door at the top is where they enter from the Tube. The stairway is a calm blue and black but the walls are green, purple and yellow quite vibrant.




Front Door
And this is the front door into the house

[bbcanada]

[Ruth*Star]

[KKBL]

OMG thats brilliant!!well done!
