If you have problem with Podium can you call in the Podium forum ...It would be useful if you post skippy with your post.

modelhead, not necessarily. You just need to turn the power up a lot if you dont set the background to black.

I vote for the return of sub forums..! Was much more easy to deal with...please!

Works fine on my laptop with XP 64 bit

Yes "The first official release of LightUp is now available" is released so no more beta for free after the first try

Hi Tim, welcome to the SCF! @mantis-1 said: I have the same problem, can someone explain how the problem was resolved. See the post two places up from yours... @sepo said: solved...issue of permission to write the textures. For the uninformed (i.e. those of you that don't check previous posts), this was using the Podium rendering software available for SU. A recent decision by management to throw all the toys into one basket and let you sift through it yourself resulted in the forum as it is now, somewhat overwhelming and disorganised.

using Irender...

Interesting, I signed up for the beta. Thanks

thanks kwistenbiebel, I think it would have to be looked better.

You can attach images to Forum postings using the Upload Attachment tab. You can email images or .SKP files to [image: Support-email.PNG]

Thank you for your answers but, the problem isn't the focal point, I have got it. And when I render, I have a little bit of blur; it work. The problem is that I don't know how to define the quantity of blur and the distance which is really net on the photo. I mean that I want to have a little net distance and after a quite big blur effect. I joined to my message a preview of my work. Thank you for your help about this. [image: q76R_Boules3bis.JPG]

Send a .SKP model to [image: Support-email.PNG] and we will take a look.

thanx Hal Materials: I meant that procedural materials (in the library that comes with Irenderplus) for example brik: when I select the material I can change it but when its applied I should be able to change it with all the options I get when i created it no? Bump: I was talking about the procedural materials... not images. When I create a marble material (in Irenderplus) there's no place where i can specifie bumpiness for the veins (for example...) when I use Sketchup materials (with images) It's easy to do so theres an "auto bump" option. Cutting planes: I get this message: ERROR during: Export Entities and Start Ray Trace: C:\Program Files\Render Plus Systems\IRender_nXt/ruby/nXt_extract.rb 1332 in nxt_add_section_plane_entity_to_model undefined method `>' for nil:NilClass

Great render. The lighting works really well, but the wood texture on the desk could be better, apart from that though. Great stuff!

Great work ! many thks

I can imagine that su2kt does not export images that have no geometry (i.e.inserted as images, not textures). I bet is you "exploded" the images then hid the edges and made components of them, they'd export properly.

Sorry for posting in this forum, my interface didn't show the option to post a new topic while in the Podium forum. Ben

@unknownuser said: Indigo is free, but AFAIK the code is not open source. Sorry juju I was refering to the this video editing app! Think you misunderstood me! http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/videoenhancement/videoEnhancement.htm

I think I figured it out - I was trying to attach both controls to the same point on the object and I think it was trying to move it in both directions at once. I ended up drawing reference lines on the object itself to break it up, then attached the two controls to the separate reference points on the object and the controls seem to be working independently now.

This is a long shot, and I don't know if it'll work, but you could put two motors on each wheel, one for joyLX (or joyRX) and one for joyLY (or joyRY). I don't have sketchyphysics on the computer I'm using right now, so I can't test it myself...
