      While on the NVidia subject FYI they have just released new drivers for my 7 series but it appears it applies to 8 and 9 series as well.

        Hi anibody

        I am new here and have the question if it is possible to use gelato for sketchup. I use Kerkythea for making good pictures but the rendertimes are amazing! Is there a way to use gelato instead? Or another faster GI Renderer? I am not a real freak, so it has to be easy to understand πŸ€“

          Hi Juju

          Thanks for answering. I got no Email about your answer, normaly i get some if somebody wright an answer to a posting (in other forums), so sorry for my late answering. I know about the blender but i will not try because i think i will never understand blender 😒 I like sketchup very much and i will make perfect rendering somehow. I guess i will try moore with Kerkythea, i found out that it is possible to make a small network with it, so i can use many PC's and this will make rendertimes more less! I am in the google sketchup forum to, is there a difference between google sketchup and just sketchup?

          I saw now that i have to select "Notify me when a replay is posted"!

            Hi Zacchia, welcome to the SCF!

            Not to my knowledge. However I understand there is an export script written for Blender to Gelato can be used for rendering.

            What I would like to see is more graphics (read SketchUp and the rendering apps) applications making use nVidia's CUDA (C++ environment) or whatever it is that ATi uses to program their GPU's.

            Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

              Zacchia, I wasn't saying that you should learn Blender, merely use it as part of the workflow if you want to use Gelato as the render application. SketchUp model > export to Blender (OBJ file format) > import OBJ file into Blender, run the Gelato export script in Blender > render in Gelato. Do you see what I'm getting at?

              There are plenty of rendering software out there, other free version you could look at is Indigo and PovRAY. Podium also has a free version (with minor limitations), but it is quite simple to use and doesn't take long to learn or render.

              SketchUP was bought be Google not too long ago, thus SketchUp and Google SketchUp is the same thing, unless you refer to versions 5 or earlier of SketchUp, then (by definition only) they differ.

              I'm glad to see you got the notification thing sorted.

                Hi Juju

                Thanks for all. Export script in Blender? I have already readed about it but i do not know what this mean. Indigo and PovRay seams to bee programs without graphic surface where you have to give device with wrighting it, to heavy for me. Maeby you can explane to me the thing with Blender again. Do you think that anyway it is possible to get high quality pictures with gelato?

                        What does this have to do with Gelato? Some kind of cross platform converter?

                          Sorry, of corse it has nothing to do with it. I guess i let it be with gelato because i have studied a lot now Kerkythea and i can handel it. So it is O.K for me. Good Time to South Africa 😎
