people, check this thread by Andeciuala... he is importing Sketchup models directly into MODO 401 (As seen on 1:44 of his video, where it shows MODO 401 recognizing all Sketchup files)!!! 😮

You have issue with emitter material? It uses surface normal for the direction, so make sure you have no back faces (or you can enable emitter to cast light to back side too (KT Material Editor>Self Luminance). Need a example scene for further analysis.
btw It maybe slower in KT forum, but I never seen such quality in render like now. There many active users and I dare to say, you will get help faster there. Only need to define you problem accurately and perhaps provide a example scene. Please, continue this at KT forums, if it's still a issue.

thanks for your help, my other question is when I initially set up a drawing what is the correct procedure for setting up drawing units. I typically work in feet and inches, not meters.

Hello,

You might want to try posting this on the Sketchup forum at the official Maxwell forum as you are more likely to get technical support there:

Best,

Thanks!

Thanks Guys, i'll look at the sites.

EDIT: Thanks for all your help i have started the ball rolling on the bundle for 3D render. Thanks Rich

Hello Adam,
Congratulations for Your LightUp Software Plugin for Sketchup Pro. I haven't Tried the Demo yet, but have Definitely watched your Marvelous Videos on YouTube. I Believe, that LightUp will in due course Greatly Enhance Sketchup in relation to Photorealistic Rendering in REALTIME.

I Will Definitely Buy Your Great Product ! My Email is cydonia@onvol.net

That's a very nice 3D print. Much greater quality than the printer we had at my university a few years ago.

The winners are in. Take a look at the 3D printed models on our blog or facebook album.

StartUp Delayer is similar...

as the name already says, the program is for delaying the startup of autorun programs during the launch of Windows only and has no functionality for managing the several autorun locations of Windows.

A very capable solution directly and free from MS is AutoRuns, a part of the the legendary SysInterals Suite made by Mark Russinovich.

Cheers guys

Thanks so much

Looks like we in fast update phase... major feature in RV387 is
also a technology announcement - camera response function.

hello there,

this forum has a lot of information on this topic... I think the most recent thread was this one:

my recommendation would be Twilight render. It is implemented into SU, has a lot of features that the "big" renderers have, yet easy to use and VERY affordable.

Good luck! (would be nice to see your decision posted here)

IMO For now it's not usable for interior renderings. I think it has to improve about that: something like real global illumination with light bounces and so... The addition of lights, mesh lights, but then as you say global performance should improve to make it still "real time" working(GPU+CPU use?).
...it still a béta but when I see possibility in their 3Dmax version, it's promissing
Burkhart and Solo
I dont get those crash or instability ...but I just tested with low or mid poly models

Great news good luck with the new post!

Hi Frv,
I have been trying to figure it out the HDRI, Can you give me some help?

Basically the GPU has quite a lot of processing power locked up in it, but its only good at doing certain sorts of calculations. By utilising this power Indigo can go a lot faster in certain situations (namely exteriors which arent too complex i.e. no caustics, SSS etc.)

Unfortunately you need quite a modern graphics card and i dont think yours is up to the job, so you wont see any change using the GPU version of indigo.

This is something like Component Stringer by Chrs Fullmer.

Nice, but ... DAZ? Hm.

Thanks for sharing 👍
cool plugin 😍 😍 😍
