Paul, WOW, absolutely wow. I hope to see that image on the TwilightRender.com gallery!

Interesting product Frederik. It seems like you've taken Kerkythea and streamlined it for sketchup users. I guess I couldn't ask for more! Kerkythea has fascinated my since the first release with "the new" studio interface, but I never got the workflow down. And with the introductory price it's a good replacement for my former skindigo workflow.

Is there any difference bewteen the portable version (zip archive) and the installer version?

Hi,

Great to see another Dane here...
No - there's no difference in the zip-archive vs. the installer version...

If you are having issues with the self extracting installer, download the zip file and extract the contents to Google Sketchup 7 / Plugins, or Google Sketchup 6 / Plugins.

Looking forward to see you as a future Twilight render user...

Come on, Majid,

You know all ins and outs of Kerkythea - Twilight should of course be easy for you!

tanx Gai I am still in shock with the twillight, and not too completely familiar with Twi... even now I made the glass material inside the kt .. but hope that soon , be more familiar with the Twi.. ... I have lots of dream about it

That's cool, Majid!!

majid · 31 Aug 2009, 21:58

that is really cool , man...
I've experienced that adding an interior light source will reduce the noise efficiently..

Bruce,
Thanks for that, I'm going to do a couple more setups/test over the next few nights, I'll post um as I do um.

majid · 1 Sept 2009, 15:08

my 5th try on Twi, less post pro as possible (just noise reduction) :

Wow, Majid!

Paul, setting skyportals should give some benefit in a scene like the this.

Cant remember when I have got a bugsplat and I use this daily. Maybe some other ryby does not like it... sorry no clues. Did you try 1.0.6 that was just released? If so, better post a bug report

Khai,
are you the one who was running an old version of XP INSIDE OF VMWARE on a Mac?
if not, at least give us some specs one what you are running it in... as we've tested this thing for over a year and a splat is very rare indeed. There's obviously something different about your setup than the 'average joe'.

XP Pro

did you allow it to install the .dll libraries as it asks upon installation? if not, this would be the problem. If your XP is not up to date with latest Service Pack, could also be a problem.
