      Jeez man, come say "howzit" in the South Africa Local User Group. Are you permanently in the UK or only temporary?

      OK, I think maybe I understood it wrong, for a second there I thought you meant you're from SA. Wrong / right?

        Adam, I registered then tried to log in. The site does not recognize the email address I signed up with. So I tried registering again and it says that email is already registered. And yes I checked the password several times.
        I am unable to login.

            Eric, AFAIK you get an e-mail with an URL that you need to visit in order to confirm registration. Thereafter you should be able to log in.

                        I downloaded the zip file, went to its properties and unblocked it, but still couldn't extract the contents without the Windows Block Content dialog.

                          Daniel, try this

                          1. create any mesh(with any mat)
                          2. Add sketchup shadow
                          3. Select all(geometry) and push Ambient Occlusion, then Direct Illumination
                          4. TourTool

                          John extract by free 7-zip ...or winzip, WinRar
                          i unpacked normally...

                              Sounds like you have a virus-checker stopping the installation. Perhaps you should install elsewhere and move the files manually.

                                Same thing here... couldn't extract using WinZip. Ended up extracting using Stuffit instead, which I discovered was on my machine (1627 days of evaluation... woops).

                                  No, its Windows 'deciding' the content can be harmful... my Norton AV passes your zip file as clean... Perhaps the ability to download the installer Unzipped from Light-up.co.uk would help some people with the same problem? Just a thought.

                                    Adam maybe using of sfx(self-extracted exe...in your archive-tool's options) package for 2 files...

                                    Adam what about if somebody made scene and configured lightUp's options, and remotely sent to other...how to start rendering?
                                    for example your studio-file, i open and what i do to start simulation? when i push TourTool and there is no actions...then add AO and push TT, it works fine

                                    I forget to add that i register at lightUp's forum

                                    Sorry for my English 😞

                                      Will not unzip on my computer either -- even after unchecking "unblock" in file properties and turning off anti-virus and firewall.

                                        Thanks Adam, everything opened fine. I've printed the instructions
                                        and will read and have go tomorrow.

                                        I really like the icons and way you have presented the package. Do
                                        you use a Mac by any chance?

                                        Is there a Video Tutorial available showing a step by step approach?

                                          The lighting options etc are all stored with the .skp file so sending it to somebody else will retain that info. The lighting data is created locally and NOT currently saved with the skp file.

                                          The TourTool checks to see whether you've created lighting data and only starts if you have. So creating either Ambient Occlusion or Direct lighting (or both!) will then allow TourToool to start.

                                            Thank you. Yes, I regularly use Macs and PCs though my main machine is a G5 Mac.

                                            I will be posting some video tutorials. Any suggestions as to areas that would benefit most, would be much appreciated.
