Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that, but the glTF exporter is also installed.

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that, but the glTF exporter is also installed.

Please open a Ruby Console* and paste this code:


PBR;;Viewport.reopen

Then send me resulting text or a screen capture.

(*) Window > Ruby Console

Here is a screenshot of the resulting text.

Looks good. I don't understand why Viewport doesn't open.

It should open in a Chrome browser?

Yes. To be exact: It should open in a Chromium browser.

I had "heard" of this, but this was the first time reading from beginning to end.
This is ambitious. Bravo.

@samuel_t:
Bonjour, merci pour ce plugin, par contre depuis que je l'ai installé, la fenêtre Chromium s'ouvre à chaque démarrage de SketchUp, avec le dernier modèle chargé, c'est un peu gênant. La caméra est assez limitée aussi, le zoom se bloque.
Petite question: est-ce que la caméra dans Chromium est gérée via une caméra 3js? Auquel cas ça serait assez simple je crois d'améliorer les choses.

La caméra dans Chromium est gérée via une caméra A-Frame (framework qui s'appuie sur THREE.js).

Hi Samuel,

It's great to know and get this PBR extension.
I believe it is extremely useful for most modelers.
I'm very new to PBR and would like to explore more on it.
Please advise if this plugin is compatible and stable for Sketchup Pro 2019?
Any other plugin needed as supporting tools?
Thank you.
