          I could have sworn I had sketchup turned off when I installed. But apparently not as that seemed to do the trick.

            Test run... Seems very powerful.

              It's nice and simple, very quick, but it has a few bugs.

              As a render virgin I didn't have much trouble getting the basics working.

              Certainly made it easy to give my Av a very different look.

                Perhaps this new discovery should be added to this topic/ thread:

                http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=3220#p15472

                Just a thought...

                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                    I guess they'll be charging later and thus the rather small renderings.

                          But I cannot install it! When running setup.exe (with admin privileges) this message pops up:

                          Anyone else encountered this ?

                            no, sorry I didn't have that issue.
                            I didn't recall seeing any thing on his forum about it.

                              this might help?

                                Ask in the brighter forum, they are very good at responding.
                                I've had a long chat via email with them.

                                    I recommend everyone to test and use the plugin. The staff at Brighter3d sent me very quickly an installer which does not check the Win version, they are very aware of problems when you post at their forum.

                                        @Pilou: Yes 800x450 (16:9) is the max 😞
                                        Higher resolutions will be payware I guess.
                                        But the plugin is simple, easy to use, and quite fast at renderings

                                          From what I understand, the plugin is still being developed so max res is bound to change.
                                          But it is simple to use and blindingly fast and well worth helping to develop further, even at this stage it is a very useful tool for creating quick well rendered sketches totally within sketchup.

                                            It seems to have some problems with FaceMe components that use PNG images (see trees in the background). Pixels that are totally transparent are not rendered as such.

                                            Be careful with smoothed faces too (see black areas at the roof top). But maybe it's just my render settings that must be fine tuned.
