From an another forum

Shaderlight for SketchUp

I have seen this thread and will be upfront that I work for ArtVPS who is developing Shaderlight.

I can confirm that Shaderlight will have the ability to place light sources in a model, we have 5 different light options including IES profiles, so you will be able to quickly place the light profiles to give realistic lighting information. We have also included a new Physical Sky system, which will be a much more realistic version of the SketchUp shadow system.

I am going to be at Basecamp next week and will have a slot presenting Shaderlight. But if anybody is there and would like to see the near complete version of Shaderlight I would be happy to sit down and show the software and answer direct questions, I will buy the coffee.
Martin

well that will be interesting!

On another note I just got my tickets but its been a hairy half a day I realized when looking over my details for the trip the small print on my plane ticket said this is not a ticket but a receipt we will email you your e-ticket within 24 hours of this purchase, would not be a problem but I ordered my ticket 731 hours ago!!!! After much panic, phonecalls and emails I finally got them today phew!

+1 on interest in learning about adding lights with IES in Shaderlight.

Be sure to talk to him before he is arrested for throttling me. Apparently my review of the application at PPB2, which prompted the quoted note, really bothered the company.

Oh Lewis, you are such a charmer when you want to be

I'm a little confused about how Martin has a 'presenting slot' when it's an UN-conference format.

I hope we all get the same opportunities.

That's why I decided to take up fencing.

(It's actually a pity that there is no fencing style involving two-handed broadswords...an epee may not prove sufficient for particularly charming incidents.)

I understand most of you guys will be staying at the Best Western.
Just called there and they are full. Anyone willing to share a room

Chris Fullmer

I've got a room with to myself with 2 beds for Wednesday and Thursday nights. I might be cancelling my reservation entirely in the next couple of days....

Go for the Quality Inn a few blocks away and enjoy scenic walks through Boulder in the morning!

First off if you are traveling to Basecamp and are from one the following countries...

Estonia
Australia
Iceland
Netherlands

...you need to 'Apply for an Authorization to Travel to the United States'. Now you may have filled in similar info when you booked your flight etc., but it's better to be safe than sorry and go through this process again. It only takes a few minutes and approval to travel is issued fairly quickly. I'd hate to hear someone refused entry because of this.

You can read more here and apply here

Bertier

done that, allowed to go to basecamp !

Bertier

I cn share a room, at the Best Western.

I smoke outside !

Thanks Rich, All done. I also noted that it must be accepted 72 hours prior to departure....

4 more sleeps.

liam887

did I ever commit war crimes between 1930-46 - NO among other silly questions although all for a good course im sure!
yeah I did that form once I had booked my flights, apparently they are going to be charging £9 from next year for the visa waiver if it still stands!!!! just a vicious rumor tho?
Have never travelled to the states before apparently another set of forms to fill out on the plane also??

Gaieus

Haha. I have a visa (for another 8 years) so I do not need to do this whole hassle.

But yes, Rich, thanks for the reminder in case someone forgets.

AND when you get the question, "Is the purpose of your visit the overthrow of the Government of the United States of America?"... do NOT answer 'yes' unless you want to miss Basecamp!
