Sketchup and Kerkythea
-
Hello again. I am now at the rendering stage of my project and been playing around with different rendering parameters in Kerkythea. I'm still trying to get an understanding of the whole material/texture system with these 2 programs. I read that it's faster to import the model/scene into Kerkythea with all textures already applied. I would like to put in a bump map as well as make the floor look like someone buffed the @#%@ out of it. I'm not clear on how to achieve this using Sketchup's material editor. Can anyone point me to a comprehensive tutorial or documentation that specifically deals with Kerkythea and Sketchup? I already downloaded the getting started pdf but unless I missed something, I see very little info on Sketchup specific configurations.

You cannot create or apply bump maps in SU. YouĀ“ll need an external app for that. IĀ“d suggest searching Kerkythea forums. See here for example:

I actually got through with a youtube search but I missed that thread over at their forums. I managed to figure out the material editor in Kerkythea and got the floors I wanted. I didn't know I could right click some things to get at more options. I think I have it sorted now.
I found myself reading and watching more tutorials than getting any work done and got impatient. Was just one of those things I skipped. Patience is a vurtue.
