SketchUp Seven in September?
-
oh dear, the moment I read this thread's title, my pulse quickened considerably. and even if there is no proof at all that SU7 really will really be released in September, I can't help feeling excited all of a sudden (difficult to focus on my work now
)somehow every discussion about SU7 tends to be overwhelmingly negative these days (probably because there is no info whatsoever from Google).
but I still haven't given up hope that all the coders that are working on SU are so excited about their new product that they are desperate to tell us (they even hang up several punching bags to release their excitement every now and then).
they not only made SketchUp multicore compartible and capable of handling immensly high poly models. but implementation of ruby scripts has been improved a great deal.
they have improved display modes. and I am not talking about new styles here... I have reflection/roughness/glossiness of materials in mind, layered materials and a (admittedly quite basic) soft shadow function together with light emmiting materials for interior views.
they even implemented eye candy stuff like settings windows bouncing off the screen border if you throw the too hard in one direction as we know it from the iPhone (I know, absolutely unnecessary, but they managed to implement it without signifficant use of processor/graphic power)
oh, and did I mention it? they fixed the SHADOW BUG!!!O.K. that may have been drifting off into dream land a bit.
but you see, I still have faith in these coders and I am willing to believe that we will love and worship them when SU7 is finally released... -

Worst thing that could happen, I guess, is that I won't upgrade. If high poly and multi core support aren't added, well, then I see no reason to. Sorry, Google.
But what if you aren't able to open models made with the new(er) version, Stinkie? You'd be (kind of) forced to upgrade then.
No, I wouldn't. I have fairly little need for SU models made by other people. And I'm sure, say, FormFonts will keep carrying SU6 models.
But let's just wait and see what them Google boys come up with, eh? I haven't given up hope just yet!
Who knows -they might just produce something amazing. They got the resources, no?Guess that, at the end of the day, I'm with Plot.

Slow down guys...its probably just a revision of the book
-
I hope the book has 64 bit support
-
If you follow all of the links to the reserve page for the book, the release date is listed as November 24, 2008. Not September 2nd. Unless I am missing something?
-
Indeed it does, i wonder where the blog got 2nd september from?
-
Maybe they changed the date to throw us off the scent!
-
The book date has changed a few times. The first time it got pointed out it was set for July 31, 2008.

Sketchup "X"....I like that name
In Roman numbers, that means Sketchup "10".

September? The optimism of you guys never ceases to amaze me.
(I would have added an arrogant winking smiley at this point, but Chris might object. Rats! I did it after all.) -
::slightly off topic::
ok, so a wink in that instance would not have come off as arrogant (in my mind) because you were not correcting anyone. I think I'm starting to see its not all winks, just when someone is correcting another peseon that bugs me.
Thanks for the kind consideration Alan
