      When saving add .png to the file name. If the name is image then save as image.png.

      This plugin only works with v8

        Also make sure that you turn off ground and sky in your styles settings and set background colour to pure white (255,255,255)

          never realized that this was a year old posting and yet this is my first time to see this excellent script. Thanks Thomas.

            Very nice.
            Could you just remember the settings we choosed, at least per session?
            Could you have alook at the fields's parsing orde via tab key?
            And why not a "respect aspect ratio checkbox?
            And why not automatically add the .png extension which not seems to be the case. In fact if we don't specify extension, the image is not generated.

            Wow, will be perfect.... lol

            Thanks,
            Alain

                If you go back to the first page - where you downloaded the .rb file from you will see it says you require a support 'library' of files.
                Use the link to get it, extract it and place its folder into the Plugins folder.
                After Sketchup restarts it ought to find the required files in that folder and so your errors should stop...Capture.PNG

                  I'm going to change my template so that plugins will display a more Plain English message that TT_Lib is missing.

                        Hello Thom,

                        This script is very useful.
                        Now when you export a batch of cameras from SU it resets the output resolution to your default 800x600.
                        Is it possible to keep the last output resolution by default? (I mean, if I saved a PNG in 2000x1000, the next output will keep 2000x1000 instead of 800x600)...
                        Thanks anyway.

                        Ryo

                              Add mindreader to your list of skills. I just did a two hour search of the forums regarding transparent backgrounds and came across this. THANK YOU!!!

                                    I have an update in development - more of a merge, transformation with V-Ray Tools (Don't worry, no V-Ray needed.)

                                    CameraTools.png

                                    Important new feature is that it tries to make up for the camera shifting that occurs when you set the aspect ratio.

                                      Excellent Plugin! The export values are a bit strange but I am just being picky! Thanks for your hard work!

                                          Lately I've experienced that when I export a scene with transparency, in a resolution 4000x3000, I can see the transparency using the standard Windows Image viewer, however, I'm unable to open the png-file in PhotoShop...
                                          It's just saying that it's unable to parse the file... πŸ˜•
                                          Also... I can't see the image if I try to use XnView...

                                          Cheers
