      Good Point. Olishea would be doing hand stands as well.

      If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

          i just got some weird results? i rendered the cabin scene after using chris's scale and rotate script, now there seems to be some weird z-depth thing. the grass renders on top of the cabin even though its phisically behind it in the scene. i'll upload the file so others can try it???????cabinz.jpg

            As for "batch render mode" (rendering a bunch of preset scenes in SU) it should work just like it does in "plain" SU; set your scene transition to (say) 1 second and export as animation with 1 fps - i.e. it will export one image per scene.

            (This also works the same way in Kerkythea).

            Make sure NOT to choose a progressive rendering preset however πŸ˜„

              SketchUp's unique ability to show a section cut

              Not unique Fletch. MicroGDS has this, AND will preserve the cut when rendering (AND imports Sketchup SKP files.)

              Life's a reach, and then you gybe.

                Thank you for the encouragement, xrok1 and EarthMover! πŸ˜„ glad you like it.

                Thansk for the info, John! I learn something new every day! πŸ˜„

                There's a tutorial on doing Batch Rendering in Twilight in the Twilight Render User Manual v.1.0 on pg 35 in the Reference Section.

                Hi xrok1!
                I'm guessing (from past experience, and past posts I've read, not having to do with Twilight) it has to do how the face-me components' scale is being reported by SketchUp.

                We will take a look at the scene to verify. (d/ling now)

                meanwhile, I'm guessing you will need to explode the 'bad' guys, and re-group/componentize them...

                Please join and post these questions to Twilight's forum in the future, as this is SketchUcation's forum and we want to respect that.

                        Well the renderer is light years ahead of the movie. . . .

                        Actually I figured it out.. Wow! That was scary for a moment. πŸ˜†

                                I posted an interview with Fletch in The Daily CatchUp. Quite interesting especially at the end where he is talking about development and plans for further features (most of what can be read about on the Twilight Forums of course but for the lazy, "this will do", too)
                                πŸ˜‰.

                                  My favorite thing of the interview is that they seem to be very open to user input... and that one of the two guys behind this is an architect himself.

                                    Thanks guys, we are confident if people will try it, they will like it. πŸ˜„

                                    There are many video tutorials and a good user manual. For users that are intermediate or advanced in SketchUp who try it, in 30mins or less you will be rendering with Twilight.

                                        He's just living there for a change. Not a bad choice IMO (once I kick off in a business and don't have to work for a living any longer, I might also move to the Istria - or Dalmatia somewhere)

                                          It is an excellent choice. Istria is beautiful part of Croatia. Close to Italy ,Slovenia and Austria....very good choice. πŸ‘

                                            Hi Sepo,
                                            It's simple, my wife grew up here. πŸ˜„
                                            We lived in Milwaukee for 8 years, now it's "her turn"... we'll see how it goes here.
                                            The up-side is that if you love spearfishing (which I do) it's great place to live. πŸ˜„
