Hmmm.....has trouble exporting in print resolution size (e.g. 4500 x 1890). Just freezes up.

Can you please contact us privately?

Then we'll ask you to send us the model so we can take a look.
Maybe it just takes long to render, since the resolution is very high.

Version 1.0.10 has just been released and can be found on SketchFX download page.

We’ve been working hard on optimizing SketchFX and removing bottlenecks, resulting in a 3x speedup in many cases.

Is that native output you're showing, or is there some post pro involved?

Hi juju,
the first image is native output. About the second one, it can be done entirely within SketchFX, but I've to ask to our client if he used any postprocessing.

Hi Juju,
I've contacted Benjamin Naudet, the author of the second image. He just had to create a clipping mask in Photoshop because he was unaware that SketchFX had that feature, it was one of his first attempts with our plugin.

Hi all, is anyone finding that SketchFX isn't working....? I bought it a while back and only just started playing around with it seeing I have a project I'd like use it with....

click on the icon and nothing happens.
Click down through the dropdown menus to apply effects, activate, etc and also nothing happens....

I'm on SU2018 BTW.

Cheers,
