[image: sketchup_to_vue_lowcopy.jpg] here is the image in image host. regards nacho

no se si es casualidad pero checa mi post, posteamos casi al mismo tiempo sobre el mismo topico , la info te va a servir mucho. saludos nacho

what about procedural texture generators (Genetica, TextureMaker, FilterForge, MapZone). anyone knows how to use any of them?

Sepo, I revised table at top of page. Deleted item from table because all support this feature.

BOUGHT IT !!!!!!! and started

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.

I concur Doctor.

I'm assuming you tried going to the View>Show Materials in Viewpot>As textures? By default you have to turn them on before they are visible in Max. Are the textures showing up when you render? If not, it's probably either a normals issue, or the texture didn't export out of sketchup properly. I export to Max all the time with no real texture issues. I use .3ds format, select By Texture and check Preserve texture coordinates. Now and again there are messed up coordinates, especially on roofs, but I just apply a UVW map modifier and then use the gizmo to rotate the texture into place. Also, sketchup should be exporting the textures to a folder in the place you save your .3ds file to. Once in a while I'll have issues with max finding that folder. If that's the case, just go to Customize>Configure User Paths and browse the folder with the textures and Max will automatically apply them to the geometry.

ah yes that pesky "corrupt" or unopenable file situation. recently tried out an intellicad 2009 version that would not open a fie that is otherwise working fine in my 2008 release. Go figure yeah just mentioned double cad since it has saved me spending cash on some sort of file export for cad, you gotta love the recent developments in low cost CAD alternatives. And when they come out free for ANY USE as opposed to say free for non-commercial (and what is non commercial exactly?) then I am getting really really excited about the future of electronic drawing and art BIG SHOUT TO GOOGLE for making a free sketchup too!
