      Khai,
      are you the one who was running an old version of XP INSIDE OF VMWARE on a Mac?
      if not, at least give us some specs one what you are running it in... as we've tested this thing for over a year and a splat is very rare indeed. There's obviously something different about your setup than the 'average joe'.

          did you allow it to install the .dll libraries as it asks upon installation? if not, this would be the problem. If your XP is not up to date with latest Service Pack, could also be a problem.

            installed all the DLL's, running on SR3, all drivers and updates installed.
            I reinstalled it and once again the same behavior. plus, it's icons are duplicated in it's tool bar.
            I'll take another look later..right now I don't have the time 😞

              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..

              Hi Phil! Glad you like it. Thank you for the kind words, we worked hard to make it so.

              regarding material presets - We felt we covered the bases with Material Templates... there are very few materials I would need as an architect that aren't already in a Template, or easily created by starting with a template, or that isn't already in one of the provided libraries.

              Can you tell us what you need/are looking for as far as a missing Template? We will be looking into adding a way to save any tweaks you've made to a template into a custom file you can load again.

                A little test animation done in Twilight with SketchyPhysics. I've been waiting to be able to output SketchyPhysics as a rendered animation for soooooo long!

                          xrok1, you could install just a QT codec in your machine, so every viewer could play these pieces. Its easy. You really don't need to install this s...

                            Apologies for the file format, guys and gals. This forum wouldn't allow the mp4 format which plays in flash viewer, so I had to go for quicktime.
                            The animation took about 2 hours for 120 frames.

                                        Nice work. What application do you use to stitch together your animations from Twilight?

                                            Hi,

                                            I'm a newbie here, i wanted to ask on how to get less post work in photoshop to get a nice render like what frederick did with the interior.What setting did you used to get that nice vibrance of the interior.Thanks and here are example on what i had to do to get a nice render with post work. 😄


                                            Original render (using High setting on easy preset)


                                            post work using photoshop
