Sketchup and Kerkythea
-
Hello again. I am now at the rendering stage of my project and been playing around with different rendering parameters in Kerkythea. I'm still trying to get an understanding of the whole material/texture system with these 2 programs. I read that it's faster to import the model/scene into Kerkythea with all textures already applied. I would like to put in a bump map as well as make the floor look like someone buffed the @#%@ out of it. I'm not clear on how to achieve this using Sketchup's material editor. Can anyone point me to a comprehensive tutorial or documentation that specifically deals with Kerkythea and Sketchup? I already downloaded the getting started pdf but unless I missed something, I see very little info on Sketchup specific configurations.

You cannot create or apply bump maps in SU. You´ll need an external app for that. I´d suggest searching Kerkythea forums. See here for example:

I actually got through with a youtube search but I missed that thread over at their forums. I managed to figure out the material editor in Kerkythea and got the floors I wanted. I didn't know I could right click some things to get at more options. I think I have it sorted now.
I found myself reading and watching more tutorials than getting any work done and got impatient. Was just one of those things I skipped. Patience is a vurtue.
