          I have just created my first video of the Interior of this cathedral and it very clearly shows that is is the first. Created from Kerkythea in 600x800 format (thanks ) and is posted at Yutube site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8COiJmGZCk . I have a lot to learn about movie making so any comments for improvement to that end are very welcome. View the Youtube video in FULL screen format or you miss half of it ...

            The camera can't show the full range of color that our eyes see in a stained glass window. When I shoot stained glass windows I shoot a 3 to five stop bracket and layer the images in PhotoShop. Then going pane by pane, I use only the exposure that gives the most representative detail. I the case of this cathedral it would probably take as much time as building the original. So don't feel bad about having to go to extra lengths to handle the dynamics of th exposure range.

              Thanks klog. However the new file says "7" in the name but is still saved in "8" version. πŸ˜‰

                    Recently I realized that not everyone uses version 8 Sketchup and could not use the available downloading option. I have corrected the omission and here is the link to download a version 7 .skp file of the complete cathedral. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40864073/v7%20Gothic%20Cathedral%20clean.skp Also Nomeradona informs me he is using this model for the October Challenge of his Sketchup-Vray Facebook group and we shall post the "winners and runners-up" here as well.

                    EDIT:10/20/11
                    the above link IS NOW version 7.skp

                      Thanks for the heads-up. The URL has been corrected as has the version (I checked this time in the "Model info" dialog). Good rendering to you ...

                          My God,how long did You need to render this movie?
                          Is there any suggestion for that render?

                          First answer: set it up and go on vacation while it renders. Actually took about 2-1/2 days because it hung about 2/3 of the way through and I had to start and splice from there to finish.
                          Second answer: I deffinitely suggest not using approximation of "tween" frames, which is one of the options of Kerky animation - while it probably saves time, you get that blinking of transmitted light on and off seen in the video. I used PM medium AA for the renderings which seems good enough for the video mode. Used Virtual Dub (free) for the assembly and recommend you study the "frame ripping" info to avoid the horizontal tearing of image frames I sometimes got. It is a conflict between the different scan rates (I think) of the movie and crt/computer/other devices).There are also plug-ins you can activate as filters on the raw images and advise figuring out how to activate them as one of them allows contrast/brightness adjustment and many others I know nothing about.
                          I know this sure as hell beats Sketchup's native animation feature for smoothness and AA function. And lastly the use of key-frames is useful for editing out stuff. I didn't use it and got the frame jumps twice when I removed unwanted frames and spliced.
                          Like I said before, this is my first real attempt at movie making and may we all learn from it.
                          Thanks for the input.

                              Nomer these are just fantastic and I would like to ask permission to upload all 50 to the Picassa web site I used for my renderings in a folder "Renderings by Others" and give credit to each (and the link as well). Is this OK?

                                    This is very difficult as so many are deserving of special note: but I choose this imaginative rendering by Mendra Ha:


                                    Rather convincing

                                        This model (and some of the renders)should be featured as "most impressive SU modelling".
