I’ve recently started to use Enscape for early design stage visualization, and I love the workflow it allows me to work with. I get to stay inside SketchUp during the early design stages with better visualization capability. I get to use the modeling tools I like and scatter things around, and all of it picked up smoothly. Check out this short glimpse of how these assets look like for a fast pre-viz while modeling in SketchUp.

Glen Urena. Growing up in Queens in the 80s, Glen Urena didn’t have any idea that he wanted to become an architect. In fact, what he wanted to do at the time was play baseball. It was a visit to a school of architecture before he graduated high school that gave Glen his first view of what learning about architecture could be like. He was particularly impressed with what he observed of the studio experience and the collaborative atmosphere that he saw there. .

If you were in the market for a new bull this year, or if you were selling bulls, then 2021 will be a year that you will probably remember for a long time! The price of bulls this year was well above he average of te last 5 years. There is a reason for that. The combination of high cattle prices; seasonal conditions that resulted in high pasture growth; herd rebuilding across the county and overall optimism for agriculture all played a role in driving bull drives.
