      Hi there πŸ˜„

      I'm experiencing problems with the fog effect when I export images/videos,
      I'm using the fog option and it looks fine on Sketchup,
      but when I export images/videos it creates stranges lines and irregularities:
      flat surfaces appear as curved, and fog appear quite differently than on the model.
      The phenomenon happens randomly on my model (cf.images)

      I have switched to different versions of sketchup (6 and 😎
      I have tried to soften/smooth the edges of my model, create different groups,
      separate, merge, recreate the elements subjects to these irregularities,
      I have tried all the different formats of export, it always ends up with the same weird result.

      I am running out of ideas...

      any help would be much appreciated !!!

          Hi πŸ˜„

          Sorry for my post, I actually just found the solution πŸ˜›

          Apparently Sketchup was interpreting some of the flat areas as curved in my 3D model no matter what.

          The irregularities were happening mostly on flat areas nearby circular volumes,
          I divided these specific flat areas into smaller ones and apparently it resolved the problem !

          (by dividing I mean I traced different lines in these areas, so instead of having one big flat areas, I have now plenty of smaller ones,
          which doesnt appear in my rendering since I export everything with hidden edges)
