        For a weird and unknown reason, (not sure if this is true still, but it was for V5) the Free SU actually works better with TomasZ's SU2KT exporter, it goes a little faster!

                    I have not used Kerk for several months now 😳
                    What is the latest version so I can download it for my new laptop?

                        Hello guys

                        Since the terrible decision made by Google to move the groups and to abandon the old forum
                        I did not spend much time with Sketchup. I am very glad to see that this forum is taking it place
                        and the community still survives and keep the spirit.

                        Soon a major release of Kerkythea will be available with incredible new features. We spend many month testing and debating the new features which certainly will make Kerkythea the most powerful freeware render engine available. Tomasz also revised the SU2KT exported which will bring incredible integration to SU and many more features. Finaly a Mac version of KT will also be available with the forthcoming release.

                        I know that Frederick and Tomasz can take care of most of your KT question here but just in case
                        you can also visit the official KT site.

                        Thanks
                        Clipi

                          I am not sure who knows who in the world of CG, however I am sure that the 'code guy' at Kerky knows the 'code guy' at Podium, so they should talk as Podium has just overcome the face thing, without reversing faces the render engine will render the front face regardless which way it faces.
                          I am sure it's a geeky code thing...but it makes life so much easier.
                          KT is a cool looking app...I will wait for new upgrade and give it a whirl.

                            Hello Clipi,
                            Nice to see you here πŸ˜‰
                            I intend to update my exporter to Pov-Ray for V6, but I don't know if anyone is interested. Kerkythea is much user-friendly than POV...

                              Hello Didier..

                              I can give you a hand testing SU to POV for old time sake..
                              but as you know I got involved more and more into KT development.As you
                              know KT is being updated so frequently with so many features. I wish we could get to see you there more often. Right now we are thinking in IES support for the next release...

                              Thanks.

                                It will happen in SU2KT 2.3, which will be available soon, as long as only one face will be painted.

                                  Tomasz,

                                  You mean, for instance, that if I have a single face as a window, I can only paint one side (face) of it with a transparent colour and it will apply from both sides in Kerky? i.e. I shouldn't paint the other side?

                                  Gai...

                                    Yep. It will be no difference if you will paint front or back. It is really helpful especially when talking about transparent faces.

                                      Cool. Transpaernt faces bugged me all the time (I always model everything else with double faces/thickness anyway...)
                                      Looking forwart to it!

                                        Well, I pretty much live at Kerkythea's forum now...(much to their dismay) but try to visit here as often as I can... don't have much time πŸ˜’

                                        I can tell you, the next release of KT will blow your socks off! It has mine... I don't even bother putting them on any more... but I digress.

                                        Tomasz's newest exporter for SU2KT is SU2KT on STEROIDS. He will have to go into hiding from the IOC after they see his coding prowess.

                                        I thought SU2KT was easy to use before, but now I just shake my head... can't believe it's all free.

                                            I hope Fletch is not exaggerating and you will find new features in SU2KT helpful.
                                            I will try to issue it ca. 30 September.
