Hi Dave, have a look here http://www.vray.com/vray_for_sketchup/ Charly [image: BQS8_2011-08-27_144601.jpg]

I've had trouble (on two computers) with Camstudio not recording audio from the speakers. I now use Debut Webcam/Desktop Recorder when I need to capture sound. http://www.nchsoftware.com/software/video.html

Use the standard material then there is no problem

All, Thanks for your input. I guess i should give LightUp another look while I continue to test & evaluate the value of Lumion & Twinmotion. The investment in these programs obviously means a shift to very powerful & expensive (3gb) GPU's. We've been concentrating on buying the fast CPU's for our programs (Revit, Indigo, etc.) (dual 6 cores) with avg. GPU's. A 1gb GPU on a dual 6 core CPU workstation doesn't work good enough with either Lumion & Twinmotion. It works..but not good enough. The other difference I have seen is that there seems to be no need to have network rendering on multiple CPU's (like for Vray or Indigo, etc) since all of the work is being done by the GPU on one computer. Maybe there will be network rendering of GPU's in the future...

Updated Chrome And Firefox versions of LightUp WebPlayer to v2.6.3 to address some unwanted DLL dependencies. Navigate with your browser to http://light-up.co.uk/resources/webplayer/playertest2.html, and you should be prompted for Installation if your LightUp WebPlayer is out of date. Adam

Thanks for the replys guys. Exactly what I was hoping to hear A.

@charly2008 said: Hi Pichuneke, what happened with your Video link? I don't know, it's the first time I try to see that video since I linked it here...

I was really excited about this app, but it's a bit of a let down from my point of view. Even when zoomed in the control isn't very good and I can't seem to create the kind of fine detail I'm used to with Sculptris. The worst thing is that it doesn't look like you can export your models, which pretty much makes the app useless in my opinion. Hopefully future versions can improve on these shortcomings.

Hello finalepkom, good to hear from you. @finalepkom said: i would like to ask you about removing the limit time, can i remove it? You are using the Demo version of the ARplugin. The Demo version does not allow to change the time limit in the AR visualization. This can only be removed by using the PLE (that is FREE) or Pro/Pro lite versions. In order to get to it, you have to buy/register for the software download it activate the license following installation/activation instructions @finalepkom said: and i can't loaded my video in ARMedia, whereas i already export video with .avi and support codec pack DiVX.. as results, just plane 3D when i chose object video..what should i do to make my video can be loaded when ARMedia ruuning? I'm not sure that I'm getting the point here. If you mean that you add the video but it does not show during the AR visualization then you probably don't have Quick Time installed. Please check and let me know. By the way you can always drop us an email via help[at]inglobetechnologies[dot]com or take a look at the ARmedia Support Forums here http://www.inglobetechnologies.com/forum/ Hope this helps Regards Graziano

@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!
