Ronen Bekerman - 3d Arch Viz Blog

I added a new SketchUp blog to the list: Please say hello to Ronen Bekerman; who just posted part 1 in what promises to be a great series of work-flow articles named "MAKING-OF MS House at Dusk" :

In part 1 I will cover topics starting from the initial DWG files manipulation and up to the point of exporting the SketchUP model to 3d Studio Max.

As for the blog itself:

This blog is about 3d architectural visualization. If you are interested in modeling and rendering architectural subject matter using software such as SketchUP, 3d Studio Max, V-Ray, Maxwell Render, Fryrender, Photoshop and more, then this is written for you.

Mr. Bekerman is also the head of Polytown - a 3d architectural visualization studio he founded in 2005.
