      Thanks Miguel.
      I tried animation using a medium Photon Map setting and it is quite fast.

        ...I just tried the Twilight demo and I must say: fabulous User Interface!!!!
        I wasn't expecting such a nice workflow. It is simple yet elaborate.
        Some great thinking behind it.

        Could the Twilight developers make a similar UI for Vray,Fry and Maxwell please? πŸ˜„

        Hi Kwistenbiebel,
        πŸ˜„ This is a high compliment, indeed, we are pleased that you can appreciate it.

        This project has more than a year of very hard work/labor of love from a few guys from Kerkythea.

        We designed it with architectural designers using SketchUp in mind so that ANYONE, newbie to rendering, or advanced users like ourselves to be able to get out of it what we each want... that is, Twilight Render is as shallow or (almost as) deep of a program as you want it to be...

        Please use it in good health.

        Render Happy,

        Fletch

            The best answer I can give you is the following...

            Porting the code to Mac is turning out to be more difficult than expected. 99.9% of the code is cross platform, yet there are so many little difference when building software on a Mac that the term "cross platform" is just a mean little joke. However, it is being actively pursued. But I can't give any dates because it's all new territory for me. 😳

            I can add that Chris is working hard on it...

            Cheers

                    On the Twilight site I saw it's possible to export a scene as xml. Does this mean I can assign materials in Sketchup and then render in Kerky? Are the materialsettings put in with Twilight stored when exported to xml?

                          Well, with the registered version, you can export scenes to Kerky.

                          BUT even with the free version, after setting your materials, you can save the skp file and all the settings will be saved (except for Kerky library settings most probably - as those libraries will vary from computer to computer).

                          So just have a look at this model:
                          http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=d1cd245ad45b78978631792c30e19543&prevstart=0
                          download and render it without setting anything.

                          Gai...

                            Twilight render looks very interesting πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ . Does anyone know if it has the capability to render a section / Perspective Section? I would find this very handy like most if it does. πŸ˜„ πŸ˜„ πŸ˜„

                              Hi Sekta,

                              Currently this is the method:

                              but there are plans to render real cuts (without erasing geometry) as you can read here:

                                Gai,

                                Thanks for the response. The fact that Twilight will be able to render sections in future has me sold on it. Kerky has been a great free companion though. πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘
