@luigi755 said: @grega22 said: Does anyone know anywhere else to download kerkythea? Website constantly says "This site has been temporarily disabled, please try again later." I try to access the site and gives me an Error 401... Only the kerkythea forum at http://www.kerkythea.net/forum/ does work at the moment. No file ropository. Giannis is working with the updated site, but it's unfortunatelly a slow work (as most of the time is used on Thea render developement). If your friend/collequoe/... has a kerkythea installation pack, maybe they can share it. But please keep in mind that even as kerkythea is a free software, it not a public domain/GPL/..., and distribute it only in small a scale (unless you get a permission from giannis). EULA denies a mass distibution of Kerkythea via web and so.

I use it. I does a good job within reason. UV preservation is always hard to control. Did you try Blender's Decimation?

Yeah I think Pilou has the closest thing you're going to find. It should accomplish your needs.

What version of V-Ray for SketchUp are you using? Does this happen with the default materials that come with SketchUp? Does this happen in a fresh scene with just a box?

Here is an interesting post on the formz forum regarding a Thea plugin, be sure to read the 2nd post. http://www.formz.com/forum/discus41/messages/16/62491.html?1367870713

@unknownuser said: Nice tree btw! It was made with tree maker plugin for SU... @unknownuser said: I have to get used to using MLT method. It seems a lot slower though. Maybe you can try with Path tracing progressive? A bit quicker for that kind of scene. @unknownuser said: Just out of curiosity why does this happen? (Bias=halo unbiased=no halo) Well, I've never used biased presets so...I don't know. I think you need to tweak some settings as I said.

1.2 user manual is not linked on their website yet... being updated. here's the straight link. http://help.revizto.com/1_2_Editor/

good point, thanks

@thomthom said: Emissive materials should not be used as primary light source. Use omni or rectangular lights as primary. Thanks ThomThom ! It helps me too, because I tried this http://sketchupvrayresources.blogspot.ca/2011/07/trick-removing-splotches-in-vray.html But it's still the same! Now with a rectangular light it's really better.

Maybe you should start learning something about materials and their components first... this applys to any renderer not only maxwell. Maxwell for Sketchup is a bit limited when it comes to more complex materials (compared to the Render Suite), but starting with an AGS or glass material and adding a bump or normal map should be possible... http://support.nextlimit.com/display/maxwelldocs/SketchUp http://support.nextlimit.com/display/maxwelldocs/Maxwell+Materials

Hi Jonathan Why don't post the model and I'll have a look quickly. I'm fairly sure it's easily rectified. Andre

it's working...

@unknownuser said: These animations are real time ? Those are rendered in Thea Studio's darkroom.

YES! You are my hero! That fixed it

Genie out of the bottle, can't go back to version 8 since many of my students worked on project at home in version 13. As far as writing code I don't have the background to do that. For now I just scaled large toolset in three columns and have it floating close to the edge. Anyone else have a problem with toolbar editor extension not working ?
