There are NO dates for SU 7.

Watching the NEWS these days, makes me think, they should hurry up the with release before there aren't any Architects left to sell it to.

Alas, now in the Emirates lies the architectural PARADISE

I agree, I'm still waiting for Sketchup 7 too.

Chris Fullmer · 25 Sept 2008, 05:40

I guess its paradise if you like what they're pushing for.

This is just a guess, but I am pretty sure Aidan has a new Sketchup book coming out in the next couple of months, and if history repeats than SU7 comes out within a week of its launch.

Cool, if couple means 2, then Sketchup 7 should arrive in 3 months?

I'm not being critical, I'm only sharing the Gospel Truth. Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship with Jesus.

Like ex-smokers and ex-fatty's religious nuts just HAVE to tell everyone how fantastic their life is now and use the smallest excuse to try and convert anybody within earshot.

Like we don't already know we should quit and eat more healthy, yes you simpleton we all know the bible exists, we have heard the Jesus myths, yes your life is just so great after you quit/lost weight/converted .... blah blah blah..... now STFU!!!

Oh, Well - I did my part in trying to share the Gospel of free salvation, but men do have freewill - but in the end, there's consequences.. For now on, I'll post gospel tracts in 3D on the 3D warehouse. To further spread the Gospel truth that Jesus is real. ~John 3:16. Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship with God through Jesus. It's your choice..

My 11yo son has a hard time knowing when to shut his mouth to stop people hating him too. 3 brownie points for mpowell1234567890 on his score card to get into heaven. You did your part, you tried and people hated that you did.

Let me guess, you take your bible and stand on a street corner in the city on Friday night's babbling on like a loon "THE LORDS SALVATION, REPENT REPENT REEPENNNNNNT!!!!" while people just walk straight on by. Do you want to know what people think about those guys? One of three thoughts:

He is a freak,
He is mentally unstable,
I feel sorry for the guy, everyone thinks he is a freak or mentally unstable.

I am starting to have the same thoughts about you.

Any hoo... back to the SU7... I just hope that they have a native Linux version so I can dump "Bill's BS OS", though from what I have heard it doesn't seem likely. Using OpenGL instead of DirectX would make it easier, that's for sure.

plot-paris · 29 Sept 2008, 06:25

nevertheless I would like to see the DirectX version, just to know, what grade of realism we can achieve.
I allways ask myself: "why do these computer games (crysis, farcry...) have such superb grafic in real time and you still can manipulate (shoot) objects? and why can't 3D modellers produce comparable images?"

well, the answer to my question would probably be, that firstly it is a matter of interest, secondly a matter of finances (why should google employ a hundret people to improve the graphic, when the main focus is modelling and there are loads of bugs to be fixed still) and thirdly because the textures are mapped perfectly to every object in the game worlds and therefore optimized for a good realtime graphic.

nevertheless I would very much like to see a DirectX version

Cool, so - My guess Sketchup 7 comes in week 3 of November? Does September Count? Please Let me know, thanks.

plot-paris · 29 Sept 2008, 07:00

I hope it will be released on a frieday afternoon or a saturday. cause I can't keep on working with tears of joy in my eyes and my heart racing like after a marathon (not that I ever tried to run a marathon )

Direct X capability will definitely get my Vote, unless, someone would bother to update "open Gl" to an extent that kicks ass.... ... and MS to OBLIVION

aadbuild · 1 Oct 2008, 01:07

just a guess were the operative words. I could be way off.... Take a cold shower... I though I was sad but you guys are saddererererer than me.

Er, that really rather depends on your definition of "architectural paradise". If you mean that it is a place that is all about making lots of money with very little real architectural talent, then fair enough.

Personally I think that a place that is all about making money with very little architectural talent is architectural HELL.

Let's put it another way, I think P Diddy would love Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Dude, look, leave it alone. I'm a militant atheist, but I don't go making comments about the great 'sky fairy' - well not until now at least. This forum is is for discussing Sketchup - mostly. It isn't a place for arguing about religion, and let's face it, that never achieved anything in 2000 years did it?

PS don't even think of saying, "I'll pray for your soul".

Gaieus · 2 Oct 2008, 08:35

Please, everybody who has ever posted in this thread, go back in your posts and delete every word, sentence or line related to religion and any mentioning of God and ranting with each other.
I can do this as well but I don't like editing other members' posts unless ultimately necessary.

(This is not particularly against or because of your last post, Bigstick, so don't take it personally).

Thanks in advance for your understanding and co-operation.

plot-paris · 2 Oct 2008, 09:18

by the way: great thread to get involved in religous discussions.

I believe in SketchUp 7 beeing released within 2008. (well, actually it is more a desperate hope )

I agree with you, plot. It's a true hunch

do you really mean it, Gaieus?

'cause then we will lose Bruell's beautyful link to this video too!

No offence taken - naturally

I did warn everyone early on though...

plot-paris · 3 Oct 2008, 06:56

I definitely have to apologize. love to discuss about such topics. and for SketchUp means more than just a fancy tool for many of us, this thread was the perfect playground. sorry for that

(however, I think it is unnecessary to delete all the religion-related post, for all the other posts didn't really give much information about the threats title either . feel free to delete my posts though, moderators)
