      Hi Jef,

      Welcome to SCF, enjoy snooping around and don't hesitate to post some work in the Gallery forum. That render has a nice style to it!

      Thank you! I used to do that render Kerkythea

        Hi!! my name is Jef Coelho, from the Brasil. Sorry for bad english. I work with exhibition stands.

        Your name reminds me about the writer "Paulo" and his book "The Alchemist". Although not as famous as Paulo's books, Maitreyi novel, written by Mircea Eliade, is much deeper than most books. I recommend you.

        @Csaba: Can you tell us a good book written by a Hungarian writer?

          Hungarian could not tell .. but from Paulo Coelho, who is not my relative but also a Brazilian, is the last book "The Aleph" which is very good.

                Hi, my name is Fred and I have been using SkecthUp for about 4 years now. Unfortunately, I only found out about this forum quite recently. It would've been very time-saving.. ๐Ÿ˜›

                I think I've reached a point where I can try to use SU professionally. I am planing on creating a portfolio and I have no idea on where to begin.

                Any ideas or experiences would be very appreciated.

                I hope I can sometime be of some help to some of you. ๐Ÿ˜„

                Thanks, Fred

                              Greeting!

                              Not new to sketch up, But i have lots to learn. I have come here to learn a lot more about this seemingly powerful program.

                              I and a tinkerer of sorts and find pleasure in modding computer cases. I'm a moderator on at forum that is aimed at modding computers.

                              After some searching expect to find me chiming in with questions and perhaps a few answers!

                              Thanks a bunch
                              GM

                                Good Morning All:

                                Not new to SketchUp either, using for about 4 years on and off, but working to integrate it more into our design work.

                                Starting off, if someone could point me to a subforum where SU/ACAD workstation configurations are discussed, it'd be much appreciated. The Dell Precision M4300 runs SUPro7 well, but I'm looking into getting a work station that will be dedicated to the heavy end of modeling & rendering.

                                  Hi all, names Ray, retired Army with more time on my hands than I know what to do with.
                                  Always been interested in 3D, architecture, drawing, CGI and the like. Had v4 a long time
                                  ago (think it was 4 anyways) and enjoyed messing with it but couldn't get past the
                                  'beginner' stage back then. Re-found SketchUp 7 just recently and so far have enjoyed playing with it and
                                  seeing what a lot of you all can do with it.

                                  Looking forward to learning from you all.

                                  -Ray

                                        ...
                                        So to rendering and animation, materials (and animated materials), light sources, bump maps, UV mapping, and other such. I have gathered a list of products to look into (in no particular order), of which I've already played with a few: IDXrender, Podium, V-Ray, Piranesi, Shaderlight, Kerkythea, Thea Render, fryrender, Indigo Renderer, Irender nXt, Silex, Artlantis, LuxRender, LightUp, and Vue.

                                        The final output doesn't have to be quite at the level of photo realistic, since by the subject matter people will know it's not really photography (and some of the products only exist as models anyhow). Still, the closer the better.

                                        About that list: I'd be glad to hear of something I've overlooked (via pm would be good, but suit yourself).

                                        For animation I've been poking around with Proper Animation, SketchyPhysics, and Sketch Talk++ with Ruby Console Pro - mainly focusing on SketchyPhysics. I'm surely open to suggestion on those too...

                                        Have you looked at Twilight Render? It will actually render SketchyPhysics animations, which is a unique ability among Sketchup renderers I believe. See this post for an excellent example ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                          Hi - I'm a woodworker, pretty new to SU. I think I'm having an "if I knew what it was called I could look it up" problem; it has to have been asked and answered a zilllion times but...

                                          If I design, for example, a table -- all the joinery, dimensions, etc. -- and then my client wants it to be shorter/wider/taller/whatever, how do I insert/remove a slice from the middle? If I use the Scaling tool, everything stretches or compresses, so if for example I make it longer, the legs go oblong, the end overhangs increase, even the end aprons get thicker in proportion...

                                          I think I want to create two section planes and then move them together or apart, but maybe that's how wome other program does it.

                                          Thanks, -Carl-

                                            Hi Carl and welcome to SCF!

                                            The Move tool will be the one to use here (maybe in different, separate steps however).

                                            With a left-to-right selection box, select one half of the table (in my example). This way you will only select what is fully and completely inside the selection box.

                                            1.png
                                            See how only things on that side are selected - now with the Move tool, start stretching (or shrinking) the middle part. Make sure to do this along a convenient direction (like an axis in my example).

                                            You can lock the Move tool on the axes with the arrow keys;
                                            left = green,
                                            Right = red,
                                            up/down = blue.

                                            2.png


                                            Then there is always Fredoscale of course but first learn it the native, SketchUp way...:
