[Plugin] Export 2d with Alpha
-
Thomas. Not urgent by any means.

-
Is there some way to separate shadows pass?
-
-
No - I have no control of how it's generated. As you see from the sample I posted the shadows even comes from the whole model, not just what is visible.

This can help for a shadow pass: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/download.php?file=displaytemplate.rb
And maybe a modification of my Shadow control script (http://www.pixero.com/downloads_sketchup.html) could be made to set everything not selected to: e.casts_shadows = false

Congratulations - one of the best for su 2d app

Hey, I did not see this, great plugin, thanks Thom!
Edit; to me, it does not export with transparent background... Nor does it export only the active context.

What version of SU did you use?
Got a screencapture? -
Have I put something in the wrong spot or something cause when I go to view/export 2D the settings comes up but then it doesn't give me a file type to save it as?

After the Settings window and you click OK you should get a File Dialog asking you what name to give the file. You must specify the file extension yourself.

I know and it doesn't give me any file type to save it as at all.
-
You have to type the file type yourself - there is no list of file types because the SketchUp Ruby API doesn't let me provide one.
So if you want to save a jpg file just enter "myfile.jpg" in the file dialog.

Got a screencapture?The most recent one; SU 8.
Here is a screen capture; now with a different codec than the one you could not open the other day if you remember...

Well, sigh... I can always use LO for exporting png's with transparent background...
Maybe it's an XP thing?
-
I don't know. Haven't got an XP machine at hand right now. Could be an SketchUp bug...
-
Well, you know where to report it (and who has all sorts of machines). I have no clue about the ins and outs of ruby. I could never make a proper bug report on plugins!
-
Just to narrow it down to a simple test case - can you try this one-liner?
