      kim and fletch,

      your comments and descriptions left me with a watering mouth, not to mention a kind of murderous envy of all of you windows users.

      Edson, I am running it on a mac using VMware Fusion and all seems fine.

      yes, dylan, i know that. i started with podium that way. but it is obviously not the same thing. on the mac side i have sketchup pro, on the windows side free. ideally i would like to keep my workflow as it is. however, for testing it is ok to run it using fusion (which I own).

              Just downloaded the demo....cooking my first twilight rendering. So far I really like the simplicity of this renderer and that it is fairly seamlessly integrated into SU. the intro price is such that I think I'd be silly not to buy it.

              Any plans for future material presets or in general is there a method for adding more material presets easily....I guess I should read the instructions first ...but heck I always just start playing with toys right out of the box before reading the manual..

                I must say I'm genuinely impressed.
                I spent 15 minutes last night before I went home tweaking some materials, picked '09 Internal' for the render setting and went home....

                Bear in mind that is is a 60Mb sketchup model that has failed (for me) to render whenever I've tried before.

                This is the origin SU scene:

                http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/373226/Twilight Tests/StPeters-03.jpg

                This is what I got after 14 hours

                http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/373226/Twilight Tests/StPeters-01.jpg

                This is what I got after changing the exposure under camera settings.

                http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/373226/Twilight Tests/StPeters-02.jpg

                More passes and better lighting would help, but damn! not bat for a 15 minute setup.

                  Paul that looks fantastic!

                  Can you remember what template you used on the timber benches?

                  Impressive after 15mins playing with mats and stuff.
                  I think it's a real winner this Twilight ๐Ÿ˜„

                      And if you know a little about all the material libraries available for KT, you'll be happy to know that you can use all these together with the Twilight render... ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                    Interesting product Frederik. It seems like you've taken Kerkythea and streamlined it for sketchup users. I guess I couldn't ask for more! Kerkythea has fascinated my since the first release with "the new" studio interface, but I never got the workflow down. And with the introductory price it's a good replacement for my former skindigo workflow.

                                    Is there any difference bewteen the portable version (zip archive) and the installer version?

                                    Spรฆndende app, Frederik. Det lader til i virkelig har stรธmlinet Kerkythea til sketchup brugere. Jeg har virkelig ledt efter en erstatning for min tidligere skindigo eksporter, sรฅ du kan godt regne med mig som kunde ๐Ÿ˜‰ Jeg har altid vรฆret fascineret af Kerkythea, men fik aldrig helt styr pรฅ programmets nuancer.

                                    Er der nogen forskel mellem installer versionen og den alternative zip version?
