Hi all,
Just to let you know we finished our concept design for Elon Musk's Hyperloop. Many of the models are built with SketchUp and many of the scenes rendered in KeyShot. The line drawing overlay is done with SketchUp, then composited on a KeyShot rendering using the new camera match feature in the KeyShot SketchUp plugin (Thanks KeyShot team!). All of the rest of the line drawings in the book are rendered similarly, but just not with KeyShot as the plugin was only recently released. This book will be formally released tomorrow, so you all get a sneak preview tonight. I'll put the book link up tomorrow when we go live.
Here's a sample:

The project was a fun one...on and off for a couple months. SketchUp is just so fast at creating these sorts of models. Thanks to ALL the plugin authors-- couldn't have done it without you!!
Nice concept and modeling Chipp. I hope the prototype gets built soon.

Thanks Ed.
For any interested, here's a link to the book PDF.

Really nice renderings, and well done concept I must say!
Congrats Chipp! Looks like a great book. I'm sure Elon will enjoy it as well :)
Nice work man. Is your logo not the logo of the bad guys from Captain America? :D

Looks like it is though argo's doesn't have the skull.
Here's how it was made:

Inteviewed with Discovery and CNBC today so I suspect they will be going forward with something too. Nice to see the response from the press-- I'm sure a good bit of it has to do with the quality of the KeyShot renders. :-)
Big thumbs up to you Chipp - Deserved and earned mate :)

Kudos! Good job!
Something just caught my eye. The use of screens (monitors?) as "windows" is brilliant. Sit back, relax, and "be anywhere"!

Very cool! Congrats!
Congrats Chipp (and Argo team)! I've seen the coverage out there. Well done!!
Gone viral home run!
