Ruby creation to imitate some capacity of Light Up
-
Hi everyone !!! my name is Amedeo and I'm italian , so first of all sorry for my bad english , I just want to ask if anybody knows the existence of a Ruby ( obviously free
!!!)that can replicate what Light Up do in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV31FTBr7Cg ; I mean not the real time rendering but just what I call the "Warming map" ( where the sun pass during the day , month etc...) ; I'm a landscape architecture student at "La Sapienza" University in Rome and I think that the creation of this kind of ruby will be very useful for everyone !!! Please can some PC guru create it . Thanks a lot . Ciao ciao from Italy . -
THat is interesting, I didn't realize LightUp could do that. I had considered working on a ruby that could do that, but I couldn't quite figure out how to do it reliably. I might buy light-up just for that feature.

Hi Chris you have centered the main problem "buy"
Light up is too expensive for a student like me ; does exist some free student version of Lightup ?! You know at my university we can download free only AutoCAD !!! SketchUp and the relative extension ( like Light Up ) aren't considered . -
it might be worth asking adamb if a student discount is available, you never know.

There is a plugin out there somewhere that does it. It uses imagemagik to create a series of images. It's older, and I've never tried, but I'll see if I can't find it.
Here is the thread from last year: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=6804
It will take a little tweaking to get it to work.

Woooooooh Jim thanks a lot !!! Now I just have to undestand how to use well , it looks quite complicated . Grazie ancora , ciao ciao !!!

On further investigation, I'm not sure shadow sequence does the same thing.
However, here's screenshot of a compilation result which seems sort of the opposite of what you need. The image represents "adding" the shadows over the course of a single day.

Thats not bad. It could prove to be quite useful! Thanks for the link Jim,

I suggest you go to the web http://www.sketchupbbs.com/index.php
And,there are a lot of free plugins for you to download.
Besides,I just forgot to tell you that I am Chinese. My name is Richen. -
Hi chinese friend thanks for the link , but you know there is only a little problem I can't speak nor reading the chinese , so is quite difficult understand what I'm clicking on that site !!! And what about you Jim you're right the plug-in isn't what I'm exactly looking for but is useful to , thanks again . I hope some one some day will create this ruby ( that I think must be not so complicated ) . Grazie a tutti , questa comunità di SketchUp è fantastica !!!
. Thanks to all this community is great !!! Ciao
