For me it was the "Save for Web & Devices" that stumped me at first. Because even once you get it imported, it seems all but impossible to save it as an animated .gif. It lets you export to any filetype, or regular save as a ./gif that is not animated, but the animated .gif type is ONLY available in the "save for web & devices" window. Maybe they fixed that silliness though for CS4, I have only done it in CS3. Glad its wokring now. I really keep meaning to look into GiMP too, Chris

We have selected the finalists in the IRender nXt Rendering Contest. Thanks to all who participated. Take a look at: Rendering Contest Now we just need to determine the 3 winners from the 12 finalists. Also, we are letting the SketchUp Community be one of the judges. Cast your vote HERE.

Some people have been having problems running the Tree Editor, either from SketchUp, or directly from the disk. We now have it creating a debug file as it loads. If you have been having this problem: Download the latest version from: Downloads Start the Tree Editor. If the tree editor fails, go to the RpTreeMaker menu under windows and select Show debug file. Send us the content of the debug file so we can determine where it failed.

Aaahhhh well... We have a number of different domains... But the official site should be http://www.kerkythea.net/joomla I will ask our web admin (Greyhead) to re-direct users to the .net domain... The different domains we have are used for "storage" and test sites for upgrading Joomla and phpBB forum...

ahhh, sorry about that! I'm from the states - studied industrial design at a place called Art Center College of Design. I was looking at your blog and just realized you're in uni in rajasthan! anyway..sent you a pm.

Yes, that's it. Thanks Frederik.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I was only referring to the Su2Pov3 system.

ahh, you're talkin like a nurbs solid like solidworks produces, got ya. have you tried moi3d?

@adamb said: Did you use the Image-based lighting to get the shading like that? Yes, both videos have HDR backgrounds, but the Great Wall video uses the SketchUp sun, too.

wow, that looks really awesome. I'm hooked now! I like projects like this. I also did one on making a whiteboard screen using a wii remote and that was also fun! just wondering what kinds of things you can scan with this. I would love it if sketchup joined with videotrace! because that is so similar to scanning and yet you can have so much more control over the final model

It was there after I uploaded it. Guess I will have to redo it on Monday.

With Indigo, softening the edges seems to be the solution (just until the edge disappears, that is [edge angle + 1] deg)

Here is what it says on the site: @unknownuser said: Esperient Creator Community Edition is a free fully featured version of Creator aimed at encouraging technology adoption among enthusiasts and students. Unlike the full product, Esperient Creator Community Edition is watermarked and scenes are limited to 4mb in size.

For exploded vue you can use the animated section plan See this video For the rest (Mover.rb) use Snaping Screen motion prog capture like Camstudio..

Nice link. Thanks a lot. There are lots of other Tutorials on the Tips and Tricks homepage in SketchUp, Archicad, Acad, Vectorworks and more. Good source.
