ok, then... NO

@las2vc said: No, I haven't, but that looks like a good potential resource. Thank you! It's the best forum for Podium lol! I learnt sooooo much from the Podium forum. Everyone is very helpful and critical which is great if you want to improve your work. I guarantee you'll have it figured out quickly. May be a good idea to start off your post with what preset you are using and we can go from there. Do you have a problem just rendering an omni within a box? Could just be you haven't created the omnis properly because it looks like they aren't turned on.

That's great

Try to export to Blender (A, A, Remove Double see this anthology post) or Wings3D all free for easily cleaning your OBJ polygon mesh before exporting in OBJ format for Rhino! And also try for the fun Moment of Inspiration who is some ergonomic than Rhino you can make Copy Past : ctrl + c, Ctrl + v between the 2 applications (Moi Rhino, Rhino Moi) And Moi has an export SKP ! And the best export Nurbs to Polygons if wanted! And an new exceptional export PDF!

Thanks wind-borne, I'll check in to the cost for Pro.

Regrouping and reducing nested Groups did the trick.

please check the roof 2.1 plugin because can not use in sketch up 2013 64 bit there an error message thank you

Hi Dave, I'm new to the forum as well, but have been lurking for a while now. I use SU for the exhibit industry and have become very fond of the Maxwell plugin. It is really easy to use, but isn't the fastest renderer out there (the results are worth the time in my opinion though). I was using the free version for a couple of years and finally decided to buy a license for the plugin which really is not that much money compared to other options out there. Maxwell is a nice all around rendering plugin, but for exhibits I am constantly on the look out for better ones. As an exhibit designer you might find issue with the lack of lighting options. Lights must be built in to the model by assigning emitter materials on to faces of actual objects (geometry). This produces very realistic renderings, but sometimes in the exhibit design world you need to just throw some lights in there with beams coming off of it to show clients that their exhibit will be well-lit. So I use Photoshop a lot to fake my lights. Hopefully this helps. Kyle

Sepo, Thanks, yes I did the same before I saw your post and that did the trick. Thanks again. Now I'm finding however that SU Podium will continue to render one scene over and over. If I want to render another scene, it won't do so unless I close and re-open SU. Ben

Maxwell Render v3 feature anouncement has been started... http://www.maxwellrender.com/V3/feature/ upgrade pricing: 345€ from v1 or v2 (node-locked) and 425€ as floating license incl. 10 render nodes!

Ah, gotcha. I just did a test with a model that only had 3 GE images imported and it worked great. Thank you. However with 35 separate images in the model I am working on that would take much longer than exporting it to obj for import into Max unless I am mistaken.

No idea. I don't understand that either. Maybe the code simply doesn't allow for the sort of changes we'd like to see? I'm sure there's more at play than plain stubborness.

Later today. You'll be emailed , there'll be a news post and forum announcement.

For me, it's a little tough to see if faces are rendering with the wrong color/material, or whether said face is missing entirely. If it's the latter (a problem that I had), you can go to the settings in Maxwell for SketchUp and disable instances. That should fix issues of missing faces when you use cutting components in SketchUp. Hope that helps!

Built in Renderer in the Editor...

First, post the model or the part of it. Second have you tried the Tesselation suggestions on Keyshot Forum? Do you understand what they are trying to say? Without any more informations we are not able to help in the right direction.

thanks! i just found the adaptive BSD engine and give it a try now.... how do i set the amount of passes in the presto gpu engine?
