@patrickbateman said: Are there more tree libraries available for it from anywhere? Only what is on their website. They don't allow commercial packaging of prebuilt speedtrees. The trees they have are pretty great though. Most of them are in Lumion. I don't think anyone would seriously buy the software to get the premade trees, in the same way you wouldn't buy 3dsMax to get the sample scenes. It's a modeler, and a bad ass one at that! Also, I don't think any of them would work too well in sketchup though. [flash=800,600:2d98c46j]http://www.youtube.com/v/g10NDl6HdD4[/flash:2d98c46j]

So it's working now ?

I'm mainly comparing shaderlight, podium, twilight, and a couple others in this range and between shaderlight and podium I haven't really found any huge differences and they are the same price. I have just grown used to having a huge library of pre-made fixtures and it saves a lot of time lighting a model especially when the architecture is not the focus of my models. Having 350+ light fixtures that are very well modeled and preconfigured with lighting that I can throw in is a pretty big bonus for me. There is also a nice selection of other high quality materials and components. It may not be a deciding factor for some people but when everything else is pretty much the same it might be.

Thanks for another great release!

Yes, the SU2KT exporter will export all UV co-ordinates you assigned in SU. If these are missing, it is really hard to get materials properly mapped in KT (there are some basic UV mapping tools there but you can only map by material - which means everything with that material.)

Hi, Great 2 hear about your plugin. I mentioned few words about it in research paper im preparing these days. Gladly it is a cloud service, that will be perfect. I will write about your plugin more in my future papers. and i will contact you for copyrights permissions. Cheers!

Now I really have no excuse for learning DC's...

yep that was brill thanks what one would i use for mac viewers please

Roger, I'm glad everything worked out. It's always a good idea to schedule regular backups. I've lost more files than I care to admit by neglecting to backup. I try to contact the authors of any plugins that do not work well from outside SketchUp's default folder. The typical reply is that "I'll consider it, but it's not a common request." The installers of some plugins even allow installing to any arbitrary location even if that breaks their plugin.

Looks superb, I havent considered Lightup before but I will definately check it out after seeing those videos.

You do have to look at a monitor to see the model, a webcam (or other camera connected to a computer) is used to "see" a target that the model is projected up from, so whatever else the webcam sees will be in the image as well. Confusing maybe, but that is what it looks like.

Yes and with the new DX11 patch it looks even better. The feeling of painting entire forests of animated trees is great.

Thanks for your comments and insight. You are driving me crazy with interest.

I like Simlab's, they seem to add new features frequently, but I haven't tried any others.
