3D PaintBrush

Seems interesting at first glance, but would be nice to see some thing in the gallery other than cars. I'm sure they will add more soon.
-
I've also only had a quick play with it and I like the way
it handles .skp files. Its a different approach to preparing
presentation stuff in real time. It looks to be only suited
for single objects though but again maybe not. They have let
themselves down with the examples they have shown! Again an
other firm that did not leverage the advantages of having good
Beta Testers that would have produced some quality outputs in
many areas?$99 is a very 'sellable' price for products these days and I'm
sure people probably will go for it, even if just to have it in
the arsenal for occasional use. It's funny, I was just thinking
about the maximum payable price for SketchUp Add-Ons the other
day and this was the figure I came up with also. Not too much
andnot too little. Better to sell 10 products at $99 rather than
5 at $150 when the productions costs are the same.Mike

Amen to that, Mike...less than $100 ($90 really) is my "what have I got to lose" threshold! (When I'm flush with cash, that is :`) Beyond that in want to be prettydamn sure before I buy.
-
Thanks Mike, youve dug up something interesting once again!
Price is $99!....which seems pretty reasonable.
Its not a renderer from what I can see but as it says, a 3D paint applier.
But you can add glossiness and specularity, for example, with the paint.
The tutorials look good....seems pretty simple and intuitive.
Interesting.....but as David said, something more than cars would would make it easier to make a better evaluation.ED. Had a quick play with it.....looks to me like it might be fun adding a render look to.......yes.....cars

I can't seem to access the web-page...?!?
s it just me, or...
-
Doesnt work for me either, it worked this morning though
-
This link one works
But not the links inside
-
They never anticipated the rush, we have almost 8000 members here and about the same amount of unregistered lurkers. I remember when I first linked my crappy (microsoft hosted) site months back I got so many hits that it became temporarily unavailable for days and I had nothing as cool to offer.
-
It seems SCF is the next digg.
-
'spose we could start selling endorsments? :`)
-
The link is back up again
-
Its actually a fun app.
And probably with a bit of tweaking [and reading the manual] could be pretty useful.
-
That's what we want to hear Stu, FUN
-
if its not a renderer then what is it? ANd what does it mean by realtime?
-
Hi Ray,
Its more of a 'painting' application. You can open the .skp
and change the colours /textures and add nice shiny effects
You can see results as you do it, is real timeIf you don't want to download, have a look at the video tuts.
The show the process.Mike
-
i downloaded it and i saw the effects i just don't like how it doesn't interact with the environment and it also kind of bugs me that i have to add color to each end every group instead of a material by itself
-
Ray,
I haven't yet had the time to get stuck into the app, but
that would bug me also. I wonder if there is a way around
it.Mike

You can apply colors/texture/shaders to any component in the scene. You can also copy/paste materials from anywhere to anywhere in the scene. This also works on selecting a particular group in the Scene panel [including root] and applying the material to the whole model. Hope this answers your question

pitty that it BSOD on me (it kills the display driver) and I was unable to even start it. anyone tested on 8800GT/Vista ?
