      Hi all,

      Time for an update of su2pov. Several bugs fixed, and a basic material editor is added: add reflection, bump, specular, etc to your SU materials.

      Regards,


      Unpack in your Plugins folder.


      User guide and test scene. Unpack where you want.

        Thank you! i will test it! Nice update!...
        Didier, What do you think about addition of simple dialog(like Jim's web-rubyconsole) for supporting simple animation or scripting by snippets?
        if i find one blog(about like-this adaption), i will post it...forget address

        Thanks!!!

          Strange behavior for calling of autoit script:
          painted simple scene for first, i adjusted render settings(move from default mat settings), then try to control mat as wrote in manual. And got this in console

          Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `attribute_dictionaries' for nil;NilClass>
          (eval);533;in `ocr_edit_prmat'
          (eval);2463
          (eval);2463;in `call'
          

          Then i tried to remove PV-finish, edited again and worked normally, but appeared this
          (after assigning of some features of new mat editor)

          Error; #<Errno;;ENOENT; No such file or directory - D;/Program Files/gsu6/Plugins/su2pov/mat.tmp>
          

          ...after some attempts to call mat-editor, it doesn't "want" to appear ๐Ÿ˜ž...in working session after semi-successful attempt

            Hi Ilayk,
            Did you save your model ?
            Do you have SKIndigo installed ?? I'm pretty sure this is the problem.
            I had the same problem and it vanished as soon as I removed SKIndigo from the Plugins folder.

              yes...
              i change extension of skindigo ruby-file. Callback at "edit Pv finish" is normal.
              Thanks.
              strange? i have similar errors with new vrayforsketchup 6.RC1 ๐Ÿ˜‰ , conflict with skindigo too

              Added
              P.S.:
              I have such error now(after hiding skindigo):

              Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `attribute_dictionaries' for nil;NilClass>
              (eval);533;in `ocr_edit_prmat'
              (eval);2463
              (eval);2463;in `call'
              

              and mat.editor started once, when closed it, it never start in working session(only shutdown sketchup)

                  Hi,

                  The plugin is not working. Whenever I give the "GO" command, I get a message which says that POV-Ray file was created but unable to launch POV-Ray...

                  What's wrong???!!!!

                    Apart from the SU2POV exporter you need to have POV-Ray installed. I think that is the problem you're experiencing, you probably don't have POV-Ray installed.

                    Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                      didier,

                      the POV-Ray site tells me there is a mac version of it. my question: will your plugin work on mac as well?

                      regards.

                      p.s.: perhaps your user guide should call attention to the fact that both POV-Ray and SU2POV must be installed for it to work. i was under the impression that just SU2POV was enough until juju cleared this up.

                        Probably a wrong file association (registry error). Please read the doc paragraph 5. All is explained there ๐ŸŽ‰

                        @Edson: how can you imagine a script can launch an exported Pov file with Pov-Ray without having Pov-Ray installed on the system ??? OK, i'll put that in the doc ๐Ÿ˜‰
                        PS: I would like to know if it works on Mac, but I guess it won't (some Windows specific things still hard-coded inside, me bad ๐Ÿ˜ณ ...)

                          didier,

                          i agree it is a kind of dumb request but do not forget there are many people making a start in rendering. sometimes a little redundancy does not harm. thanks.

                            ๐Ÿ‘ Hi,

                            This is a good plugin but the problem is that I cannot place lights.

                            What's wrong??

                            Please advise.
