        Yes I have - it's even in the screenshots of the post - using the default grey background of SU's architecture template.

          Okay, you may be right, I could only find the sky and background issue in the topic (I was the one with problems).

            For that model you could use QuadFace Tools to UV map the surface: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=39442&hilit=+quadface#p348501

                  hi,
                  the plugin works like a charm, but my model is a bit "hairy" 😄
                  is there any setting how to convert model into higher resolution of PNG, to reduce raster to minimum please?
                  thank you!

                    You have the same settings as when you export normally, Width, Height and Anti-aliasing - adjust to your requirement.

                    I never use SketchUp's AA when exporting - instead I export the image out much larger and scale down in Photoshop which then produce nice smooth edges.

                      Haven't used other applications. Either I do it by hand, or I use the panorama function in PhotoShop. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-photoshop-cs5/creating-a-panorama/

                        hi,
                        you´re right. to export bigger model, then resize in PS, but when i need transparent backgroung?
                        do you thing PS fix everything?
                        thanks!
                        note: just making a texture of bulding (another project) photos were made from many places around.
                        when i need to make panorama pic to wrap the model, i´ve to fix/strech photos for nice result.
                        do you think PS is the best, or is there any other tools/programs, which can fix distortions too.
                        your valuable tips are very appreciated 👍

                          Aye - that is what I do. Some times I increase the size of Outlines in Edge Styles as the edge thickness doesn't scale up with the size of the export. An alternative is using Layout - let you export with nice AA, edge size scale, transparent background and you can even export as vector.

                            hi,

                            a prety fast help, thanks, the tut is great !

                            i´m very thankful, i´ve spent many valuable moments here with you guys 😍

                            so, when i return to previous topic, the best think is to change resolution of size of the model, then reduce it in PS.

                            wonderful !

                                  Anti Aliasing. The rest you probably know but here it is for those new to SU.

                                  Can be set at system preferences level - in this case it only affects what is rendered on the screen.

                                  And can be set when exporting stills and animations - this time it is done by the software (SU) but that is not a nice job (here they could improve a lot)
