      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.

        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! πŸ˜„

          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

                  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.

                          Its actually a fun app.
                          And probably with a bit of tweaking [and reading the manual] could be pretty useful.

                                Hi Ray,

                                Its more of a 'painting' application. You can open the .skp
                                and change the colours /textures and add nice shiny effects πŸ˜‰
                                You can see results as you do it, is real time πŸ‘

                                If 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 😑 πŸ˜„

                                    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

                                          Seems to work fine with an NVidia 8800 Ultra so far...but I'm on XP, not Vista.

                                          This is a very promising program.

                                            There's a utility included called "3DSnip" that will capture OpenGL or DirectX rendermeshes displayed currently on the computer in other applications, and then allow them to be opened in this app for rendering, like that 3DVia offering or Ogle. There's no compatible 3D export format with SU, though (OBJ is the closest...you'll need a translator) if you want to bring the captured meshes into SU for editing. It would be nice if this thing could output 3DS files, but it is still a neat little plus. (Incidentally, it will capture GE buildings, but there seem to be some issues with textures that I haven't figured out yet.)

                                            I've also noticed that it will not recognize about 50% of the materials on the SU models I have imported into it...I think it refuses to bring in positioned materials. (EDIT: re-imported the file and this time they appeared? Why not the first time?) It also freaks out if there are too many other graphics apps running...with Firefox, GE, and SU all open at once, the viewport of 3D PaintBrush becomes a choppy mess (and I have 768 MB of VRam available on my NVidia 8800 Ultra--multiple graphical apps are usually not a problem). I'll have to test it more some future time...I've lost patience for the moment.
