That video is great, very exciting.

That video is a very nice 'proof of concept'.
Great coding Adam !
The background 360° is definitely cool as well.
Is it a 'equirectangular'(lat/long) image or a 'sky probe' image?

The ambient occlusion render method seems really fast and on a textured model the effect is not bad at all.
(still hoping though to have other render engines behind it in a later phase )

Keep up the great stuff!

Quick update.

Website is almost up and running - still working on some backend stuff, but have a look: http://www.light-up.co.uk
The plug-in still has some final things I need to do before I release a free, time-limited demo - you'll be able to download it from the website. Of course it will be Mac OSX (PPC and Intel) and PC Win32. The demo is just like the real product but stamps demo labels on stuff, is time limited and I'm expecting a 2-3x performance increase from optimizations for the final release.

So, bear with us, its almost here. Matter of weeks now - and yes, I know thats later than I stated!

Yes, I should explain on the website those are all just screenshots from a tour of the model - ie running at 30Hz. LightUp can generate 9000+ x 6000+ still images if its resolution you want.

Adam - Why not invite some of us in just a few days before you "officially" release it - we might be able to help you gather some sexy shots for your gallery. Just an idea! But seriously, I think the gallery of any software like yours is very important. In any event, I am sure you will get lots of support and constructive suggestions from those of us on sketchucation...Jason

Mike Lucey · 4 Apr 2008, 23:31

Hi Adam,

Please remember you only get one shot at making a
'first (good) impression'

I've signed up and logged in waiting for the release

Mike

peweuk · 4 Apr 2008, 23:40

Adam,

I'm sure you'll get it right

Signed up and waiting with eager anticipation.

AdamB · 5 Apr 2008, 12:57

Well given its one of your countrymen building the webtech, I wouldn't be surprised!

Adam

ilay7k · 5 Apr 2008, 14:11

if i miss something, Adam... can you export baked map(via uv-map, image-source) for future detailing into photoshop or analogs...then import this map to sketchup(via your plug-in again or standard import by using of urgen's technics)

juju · 5 Apr 2008, 14:56

Registered on the website and signed up to the RSS feed.

By the way, the images used in the gallery is from a template of sorts I assume. I think I recognise all three pics, they all seem to be from Cape Town area, South Africa.

Hout Bay looking towards Chapmans Peak.
Chapmans Peak looking towards Hout Bay.
That is either Chapmans peak drive or a pic from the cliff road looking towards the "Twelve Apostles".

How's my score?

juju · 5 Apr 2008, 15:01

Jeez man, come say "howzit" in the South Africa Local User Group. Are you permanently in the UK or only temporary?

+++EDIT+++
OK, I think maybe I understood it wrong, for a second there I thought you meant you're from SA. Wrong / right?
