Giant Aquarium Designs

Thanks again!

Google SketchUp

 

These are cool. I especially like the last one.

I once dreamed up an aquarium that was a complete circle so fish could have endless swimming room, but drawing it on a napkin is the farthest I went with it.

 

Thanks.

That one sounds cool too. How would people see it? Was is basically like a cylinder(people viewing from around the circle) or was there a doorway of some sort in the middle?

 

Definitely viewing from the inside. Figuring out a way to not obstruct the swimming line and getting people inside was the tricky part. I would put it on the second floor with a staircase in the middle. Would have to be a very structurally sound second floor though.

 

Those are very, very, very excellent sketches. It that your virtual self in those drawings.

Its not Droid, it's me fishies.

 

Why thank you, sir.

It could be me..: Actually, Google SketchUp always has a figure in the drawings to show the scale of objects. The same way we may use a pen or a pop can to show the size of something in our pictures.

The pics with a guy in them are when I used SkecthUp 6 & 7. I upgraded to 8, the newest version, & the character happens to be a female. The female is 5'5" while the male is just 5'9".

 

AMAZING! REALLY ENjoyed looking thru the designs!!!!

I should layout the next tank I want

 

VERY NICE!!!

You ought to freelance for LFS's. I've sold $40,000 installations with my graph paper, ruler, and pencil drawings. I sure could have used your skills.

 

Freelancing my services would be really awesome. Hmm..I wish I lived in a city that had a fish store. The closest fish store to me are a half hour away...Pet Supplies Plus and then the other is Jack's Aquarium and Pets. I don't believe either will do custom tanks? I'm not sure.

There's one a did just within the last week. Give me a few minutes; I'll upload that one as well.

 

If I had a way to freelance for stores, I'd sure be in business. Any ideas?
