Taken the main branches to a point. Added some colour variation in the leaves - but I think I've over done it. Concentrated leaves at the tips of the main branches. Still don't like those main branches. [image: O5gh_treerenderedd.jpg]

can u give examples for the effect for with and without the effect of camera > film width camera > focal length in vray

Hi i resolved the problem by restarting the computer.

I do not have Adobe Premiere but what I can suggest is to stay away from the Cinepack codec. One of the worst available. Try something mp4 or similar. Although these are for video sharing sites, they are valuable info on quality compression: http://vimeo.com/help/compression http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=55744 What I generally do when exporting image sequence is to export it at double size then resample the images in an application that supports batch processing with nice antialiasing. This will also make your edges a bit thinner and first of all, much crisper than the normal SU output. Then use a compression type that does not destroy the quality too much (Cinepack does unfortunately).

Good news spread fast.

Update from this old thread. ENABLE scene transistiions seems to work

Whew!!! Thanks, guys. Jim

[image: cPEU_solarnorthissue.jpg]So I am having a problem that seems to not be related to magnetic declination but decided to post in this thread since it seems like there are many here that have looked at this particular tool. I have pro 2013 and have successfully loaded the toolbar and it seems to work though I have not tried all of the functionality yet. I do not want to change the default settings untill I understand something, hopefully developers are watching this thread. I have imported a scene from google maps and with it the geolocation of the project (prior to installing the north angle toolbar). On google maps north is always straight up. When I use the north arrow to display the north angle it is around 27 deg off. This could not be the magnetic declination difference since it is only 8.8deg for this area. How does the default north arrow calculate the default position if not from the geolocation? I have moved the default axis many times while modeling, could this have caused the confusion? Is there a way to get the north arrow to snap back to the geolocation? see attached

Thank you for the review. You understand correctly and have verified what I was not sure about. I wanted a face to be created across sub components but it seems the face will only be created if the edges are in the same subcomponent. I will try to reform the component using rectangles to achieve the result I want to have. Thanks again for your input!

ah ok... thanks! i'll look into it. i hope this will fix it

@bluesy said: Thanks, I just tried that and it downloaded. Then went to SU and tried to add one of the new textures with the bucket tool, but just the regular materials that came with the program were available. Am I supposed to put the downloaded file somewhere else? I can see eyeballs rolling all over the place! Well for me (on Windows), its an .exe file so just install it like any downloaded program...you don't have to do any thinking about what folder to put it in at all

You need to copy the petal off by 1mm then reverse its face... then all is well... there is only one petal so editing is quiet quick...test_hibiscus.skp[image: TVc4_test_hibiscus1.PNG] [image: Y6SQ_test_hibiscus.PNG]

@box said: Sounds like you need Bezier Spline http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=13563 and curve maker is another good one. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=35614 I have Bezier spline but I think curve maker is more on the lines of what I was looking for thank alot!

Yes, you'll get 8hrs evaluation time. At the end of 8hrs the Pro reverts to free.

Here's my result - it's fine.[image: 2VKR_Capture.PNG] Can you post the problem SKP here ? You haven't 'grouped' the lines etc have you ? What happens if you answer 'No' ? Do you get any errors in the Ruby Console when doing this ?

Make sure you apply the materials directly to the faces not a group or component. I found that if I do a UV unwrap in Blender, I can have full customization of the UV coordinates for my materials. Its not as easy as in Sketchup, but for in-game meshes, its absolutely necessary. I also found that I have to "triangulate" all the faces before exporting to OBJ because of the quads.
