The renders look not bad but very AI styled. Not reaching to the level of being presentable to the clients. It also leads to their impression that the whole design is AI generated, destroying all the value of the design itself. Until the AI can deviate their renderings from the strong similarity, I won’t use it for the final submission to clients(not even in previews)
This is actually useful, so much of landscape architecture done with people sitting on their computer and not working on site, is not helpful to the design process in my opinion and experiences.
Hello Edson! The terrain came from multiple sources, depending on the project: drone scans, PlaceMaker Terrain, PointCloud which was converted to Mesh using SketchUp Scan Essentials. Some from survey.
Very impressive portfolio of work Dan. 🙂👍🏼👍🏼 Would love to see more videos on the work + work-flow of you & your group. 0:55 - - curious…is that bridge-looking structure real?
The bridge structure is real. It is in Sioux Falls SD. That was not a model but more the Confluence home page. It's a very amazing sculpture. I'm working on the second round of videos now so more soon and thank you!
@@danieltal3d Thanks - very cool. I’ll have to look it up. But I’m wondering - is that still under construction as a utilitarian bridge - or is it a unique urban sculpture - purely aesthetic?
@@_Breakdown Its built. Its not a usable bridge. They build bridges north and south of it though and the sculpture is intended to show both sides of the river "touching". Sioux Falls is a very cool city.
Doesn't always work. Some cad drawings are a goddamn layered geometry on top of geometry on top of curves nightmares. That solution will cut holes that cant be filled. Re-drawing detailed parts is always the best practice imo.
If you want to get some in-person training from Danial, he's one of the industry experts presenting at this year's SketchUp 3D Summit, which Mike Brightman will put on in Denver from June 17 to 19, 2024.
Hi. I've never used Placemaker, but I purchased a year subscription to do 3d imports. It looks like I'm missing the "3D Earth" tab on the left. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
hi. that feature is not live yet. its going to be live in 10 days. you will get an email to update your pacemaker that will include that feature, we are wrapping up beta testing now. feel free to contact me at gidion311@gmail.com and we can push it to you. ty. daniel
Q: (3:50) - - when you enter “which direction do you want the fence”? - - how did it know how to _match_ the exact slope? (Was that info somehow embedded into the original shape you traced before you flattened it?)
Hello - you can select the line work from OpenStreetMaps and use them to create profiles. Bridges, roundabouts, driveways, working on terrain, more traffic features, turning lanes are all on my feature list and road map.
Been using Transmutr for this same exact implementation. Though I’m learning that I’d rather just do all the work in blender at a much higher poly count. 🎉
Thanks Daniel for another great video ! I am retired now and I still have my 2021 SketchUp Pro permanent license ( but no more upgrades) I would have loved to try this new app SketchUp Diffusion. I downloaded the app, but for free trial I think It ask me for a new license... My question is do you know if it should run on SketchUp 2021 ? Thank you, George
Very important for us to pay attention to the detail or else we will be replaced by AI. Haha. Great video thanks for sharing. Now I know what diffusion is all about. Should have downloaded it when it asked me a couple weeks back. Hope all is well DT.
Hey Daniel, I appreciate the videos. My Sketchup Diffusion looks a little different than yours. It says "LABS" on it, and I do not have the options to add negative prompts, keep seed, or expand to fullscreen. Also, I'm trying to render a house exterior and I cannot get Diffusion to render the walls the correct color. Is there some update I need to do or something?
Hey Micah. I was using a pre-release version which I probably should not be showing but im sure ill be coming down the line. As for changing wall colors, do that in Photoshop. We use FireFly and Photoshop AI tools for quick selections and editing texture and colors. I hope this helps!
not sure I am liking the results of the these AI generated images. I think people will eventually be able to detect AI generated images vs original images in the future. Just like detecting chatgpt paragraphs.
I agree with your sentiments. I would look at this from the lens of short to midterm changes. A year ago this just all started, a year latter we are here. It's worth investing the time into learning how these tools work. That has become the focus of our Studio.
Hi Daniel, thanks for all you do for the SU community! Thanks for your video. What prompt can I use that will keep Diffusion from changing the colors of my building - I am doing an exterior that has some greens and browns, and the diffusion images are beautiful (in a weird squiggly lines way)- only they change the colors of the building drastically. I tried the promp "do not change the colors of the building walls and roof" but that resulted in changed colors as always.
