Visualizer for SketchUp
-
it's an old file, I probably have an updated version now. SO all the ivy in that model and there is a ton is no good.
-
If you are using the supplied leafs with that plugin then I would advise to do some investigating on those components.
It's a long time since I used that plugin but when I did need it I remember querying TIG on some bugs and we discovered the flaws with the leaf components.
-
For that price and the results it produces, this is the ultimate n00b/hobbyist render plugin.
If they ever add cuda this could be a great quick mockup setup when you have a client around the computer. No fiddling with textures super easy DoF.

"For that price and the results it produces, this is the ultimate n00b/hobbyist render plugin."
It certainly looks like that, although I think Shaderlight still has a free version so "free" probably trumps "cheap". They're both along similar lines though Vizualizer a little simpler and Shaderlight a little more feature rich.

Reflections are in the pipeline?
-
There are reflections. Translucent materials have reflections. You can see them in the pool here. Much less visible in the windows.
It seems to me that it quickly stops getting better with baking, and the low resolution guarantees you can't use it more than just for a "fun" quick look at your model. If it stopped being blurry I might show it to clients (those not asking for an actual rendering but who want to see a model).
-
I meant like basic material editing; I doubt the render would know that this texture is wood floor, and should have a form of reflection.
-
Yes, I see. I wonder if it's ever going to be that sort of SW, or if. at this quality of image, it really matters. Exposure seems to be a problem too.

Definitely a cool toy. Reminds me of Maxwell Fire without lights or materials.
-
Our goal is to make realistic image creation instantly available to Sketchup users.
Actually there are 2 lights, the sun and the sky.
Also in the current version there are two materials.
One is a none shiny material.
The other is a shiny "glass" which the artist indicates by reducing opacity below 100.We have received many requests from customers for more features and the team is working hard to add them. The challenge is to keep it easy to use.
Hopefully we have succeeded in making the Visualizer interface so intuitive that you can be productive within minutes of installing the extension.
Thanks for the positive comparison considering Maxwell is over 40 times the purchase price.

Wondering if there are any tricks to lose the shadows.
When doing an interior render without a ceiling/roof i get the sun/sky shadows and with a ceiling it is pretty dark in there!cheers

I noticed too... I went to 12:00 noon sun over o,o,o located model.
-
Hi Bob and Krisidious,
Yes with the sun and sky currently being the only light sources, interiors can be pretty dark.
For now you can open Window/EntityInfo for an object or group and toggle off the "Cast Shadows" option.Will

I'll try that Willanie
