Thea Render is about to be launched..(edit available now)

Creates some pretty monstrous files though! 120mb compared to 5mb for the .skp, certainly not a deal breaker though.
My thoughts are because it sees all components as seperate mesh and triangulates all quads maybe?

The SU exporter can handle a lot of polys!
I am glad it serves well.
EDIT:
For huge models please try 'Export all components as instances'. -
Anyone but me who gets a wxSU warning/error upon SU launch?
It warns about possible problems with other plugins like LightUp. -

SU-2-Thea uses WxSU 0.3 version in which interaction issues with other software has been resolved. -

whats wrong with modo's renderer? you can import your SU files and render them in modo too.
Nothing whatsoever. I just want to have several different tools to work with.

I have good understanding?
17€ just for the plugin for your favorite modeler
or 162 € for the standalone version ?
I am not oblige to buy the 2 for use the Plugin? -

Maybe it's LightUp's own wxSU warning?

I think it is unfair. Do you have latest LightUp version installed?
Please notify me if you experience problems with LightUp while having WxSU 0.3 installed. This message must be annoying to you. Does it show up every SU start?I also hope Adam will test the SU-2-Thea plugin and revise his opinion or help me to resolve any potential problems.

And yes, that's the case, Pilou - you have to buy both. The reasoning behind is that if the plugins were free, their price should be incorporated in the main product price. But why incorporate the price of half a dozen plugins and pay about € 100 more when you need only one (or maybe 2-3)?
On the other hand, while a plugin for a free product is still free (see Kerkythea and su2kt), why would the developer of a commercial product expect anyone to make the plugin free?

Actually it's just the open beta being released, the full release will be after a month or so (do not quote me)
I can however say it's friggin awesome, I have been beta testing it and it truly is an amazing piece of software.
Pete, I hope you do not mind that I "borrowed" your render for TDC! It actually looks kind of neat with that little ad on the side.

I have v1.8a and yes it shows up every time I start SU. I'll let you know if there is any problems with LightUp.
Maybe you should contact Adam to solve this. -

Does Thea only run on SU Pro? I only have SU free here in the office and can not get anything to run.

It runs just fine on both versions Pro & Free (6 & 7). I think your SU is not returning proper path when
Sketchup.find_support_file "plugins"is typed in the Ruby console. If it is the case please send me a PM. -

Like you I also only have SU 7 free and Thea as well as the SU2TH plugin works fine for me, Scott...

Got it working now....One word....WOW!!!!

This is about WxSU not playing well with SketchUp. Its not about SU-2-Thea per se - though I appreciate if you've built on WxSU, you'll run into this.
The problem is WxSU does some truly heinous hacks of Ruby to work under SketchUp. Specifically, it tries to hide the problem by lowering the priority of the thread in an attempt to make sure it doesn't run.. Firstly this is a shit solution. Secondly, as soon as somebody sleeps, the thread will be scheduled and if you've not got a WxSU window open, it just breaks.
I tried to get the author of WxSU to address the issue but didn't anywhere and got tired of endless support of LightUp regarding this issue.

Thanks Adam for the explanation. I am in contact with Peter and hope to have the 'sleep' issue resolved soon.

@Gaieus thx for the precisions !

Hi Tomasz
I have SU 7.1 free and SU 6 pro installed but SU2TH only shows SU 6 as an install option.
??
Good news is that SU2TH is very quick.Thanks
