Hey Guys

Want your opinion, after reading some news reports, came across the link below, to this image, of a ciomputer rendition of a newbuild to be built for Denmark:

Now it looks to me like its done in... Sketchup 

What do you think?

It looks exactly like Sketchup! 
They were too cheap to buy higher end software. 

[gibby12]

yeah that is sketch up 

[thom301]

thats just sad

Hundested Rørvig Færgefart A/S is a very small ferry company. So why should they - or the shipyard in Bangladesh, that probably builds she ship very cheap - spend money (which at last the customer has to pay) in high end software or expensive drawings? There is no reason to do that.

But I'm not shure if it is a good idea to let the ferry build in Bangladesh - after the ferry company SamsøTraffikken had to learn that even ferries built in Greece do not match the Danish quality standards.

[thom301]

yes you're right at that but there are also alot of other programs that are not that expensive but look more professional.

accutally, it doesn't look that bad,
but still, blenders free and an awful lot better

[krytsch]

Well, it looks a bit like a manually drawn drawing. Maybe it's the purpose ...

[krytsch]

o = oh
i = I
c = see

But yes it does look like that model was in Sketchup

You have a good point there  also.

Does look a lot like sketchup indeed, and yet, not 100% either, in some places.

Then again, there's sketchup stuff around that you would not think was made with it, aswell.  

And stuff that isn't, but looks like it.  


I wouldn't be 100% sure myself...
