@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Now I know that I can share the link with Fredo6 on the Animator thread so he can download the file and look at it (to hopefully identify the problem I have been having trying to generate a video). You might also try generating an Animator video and see what results you get.

Hey guys I am desperate for very high resolution/quality satellite maps, I use Placemaker and I also use Nearmap but the resolution is not that great, I have tried using AI to upscale but that too does not really solve my issues. Is there another solution?

Hey Mike, I'm sure you figured this out already, but when you first create the attribute type a number with the inch mark like 0" or 0' in the value box and hit enter. This will set the unit for that attribute to inches. This only works for the first time a value is entered. After that first initial value, you will need to use the attribute info dialog to make changes. In addition, you can use 0 to set it to text (not "Default: Text") and 0cm to set it to centimeters. If anyone knows a shortcut for setting the unit to Decimal Number, I would love to hear it!

I found out that the Sirion 2 originally sold as Toyota Passo. And on that subject I found this: http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/toyota-passo-3d-model/433411 But this model is not free and it seems like this model is not that realistic..the rear lights are huuuge comparing with the real one.

Jim unless I have the wrong spot my suggestion is: turn hidden geo on; Use line tool and green inference to extend lines from bottom circle edges to the top face, use green inference; Connect the top edges and your faces will form. They did for me Attachment removed by mac1 9-2-01

If all you need to do, is to change an image from 96 dpi to 300 dpi, most image editors will do so. Keep in mind that the physical size of the image will shrink accordingly. [image: L236_Temp04.jpg]

Apparently the linking problem was related to group materials. After experimenting with diffent settings, it works fine now.

@rhysifan said: WOW! curviloft works like a charm. thank you! In your case, I would suggest you use Curviloft "Loft by Spline" (instead of Loft Along), so ignoring the curve. Just select the two faces, and then use the method "Orthogonal Elliptic" (small red arc of circle icon in the button palette). This will make the bended portion orthogonal to each straight rail end.

Matching a SketchUp View to one in External Render

I use a few ruby scripts to match the cameras between sketchup and renders. I don't recall the exact names, camera controls? to get the tilt, pan and rotation. I also use a script that places a construction point at the position of the cameras. I then draw a tiny circle at the point and paint a material named camera# onto that circle. When I go into whatever render I am using usually Vue.( I can't get the script for Vue cameras to work) I place a camera at the position of the tiny circle that I exported with the model. I then adjust the camera orientation based on my camera settings I read from camera controls. I use the field of view setting from sketchup. Depending on the render you might need to adjust the angles of the camera. If camera control script said the camera was at -30 degrees you might have to enter it as 330 degrees in the render. Hope that helps.

Different objects will require different model-making processes. The 3d modeling process you decide on will help determine the best way to export your Sketchup model.

But you can export as PNG and then convert it to openEXR with another application like this http://scanline.ca/exrtools/ http://www.hdrlabs.com/picturenaut/index.html You could perhaps automate if with Ruby API for the PNG and auto-make/execute a CMD/BAT file to convert that to EXR... Here's an on-line converter - most image formats to EXR !!! http://image.online-convert.com/convert-hdr-exr

@davidboulder said: If you want to do it all in SketchUp. place the image in one window, scale, it and then use the eye dropper to paint to grab the texture to pain in other windows. Then one by one make each texture unique (I don't think you can do that with multiple selection). Once unique you can export the texture as an image. Now THAT's a tip!
