New sketchucation HERE @LAST

michaliszissiou

Posted images are 640 px maximum.
Images larger than this (mine usually at 700 px) will be resized to 640 px as preview.
Not too bad, considering that it still keeps its color profile. That's new in SCF (keeping color profile) and these are good news. Good work.
So, from now on, post your images converted to an sRGB c space. To be sure that everybody sees something similar. Under a decently tuned operation system, of course. lol

Regarding tools icons, still guessing what they mean and it works in most cases.
But, this bright UI still burns my eyes...

Both attached and embedded (external) images are clickable and will pop up at full resolution. Try that, please, to see how it works.

Krisidious

wow... Tons of changes. You guys have done a lot of work. Looks great. Thanks a bunch.

pilou

It's my navigator or the icons are really "bold" like this ?

If yes will be not more quiet relaxing for the eyes like this
(the 2 first for example)

Looks good! Seems to run a little quicker on my machine.

EscapeArtist

Whoa... just noticed this on logout. What is this "premium" of which you speak? What is the content that is offered? $50/yr.

iichiversii

Was just browsing the new shop feature, just two questions in relation to it-

I can see this becoming fuller with more models in the coming future but since there will be many verities of models will it be categorised, ie.. furniture, electronics, buildings, sci-fi and so on, and each category leads to a dropdown menu for example furniture= chairs, tables, sofas. electronics= radios, TV's, toasters.
Can a member submit a model/book/texture pack for sale and if so what is the procedure to do so?

Sorry to be late to the party. The site looks and feels great at first use.I had hoped to have a chance to review it in Beta, but work took over.
Thanks so much to you all for the mammoth effort, I'm sure your relieved to have it up and running.
Cheers

I took a shot at a purchase but could not see how to get the Premium price discount

massimo

If you click on "buy now" button the order summary on the left of the PayPal page should show you automatically the discounted price for premium members.

Congrats on your new forum...

I will need to wait a few month before I have the money to sign up as a "Premium member"...

Definitely on the "to-do" list. We already have a basic tagging system but as the content develops and varies, it will also need to be developed.

It1s not that "automatic" (we do not want a second 3D Warehouse) but yes. Please, contact Rich.

Yes, sure. But this is not the end - we just decided to launch "at a certain stage" of development. Lots of new features are coming sooner or later.

Yes, indeed, it is completely automated but you can always check if you are buying for the "advertised" (premium) price.

@Csaba
Thanks for the reply, just 1 more question for now on the shop, I understand it is not another 3D warehouse an to be honest the 3D warehouse is full of...well how can I say this politely.....crap I suppose will do for now, and I'm sure there will be a screening of each model before posting for sale, is there a port forma for a model to be suited for sale and if so will there be a list available for this? if a model being submitted doesn't fill the port forma requirements will there be a debrief on why the model doesn't get posted? And finally as a model sells through sketchucation I'm sure a percentage will be belong to sketchucation, which is understandable, has there being a set percentage for sketchucation and the model creater?

Sorry if I'm asking too much too soon but just curious

pilou

It's obvious, evident!
Our eyes are shocked!

Not a formal list - but you know what makes a model good. Like no back faces, not unpurged stuff, no geolocation etc. Yes, we can make such a basic list (although sometimes definitely some unexpected also may arise).

@iichiversii said:

if a model being submitted doesn't fill the port forma requirements will there be a debrief on why the model doesn't get posted?

Yes, the model can be rejected by a "shop manager" and he can provide the reasons for rejection (there is a form for this).

@iichiversii said:

Yes, 60/40 for author and SketchUcation. Please, refer to the (Shop) EULA > 3.10. Especially note this sentence:

@unknownuser said:

In any case SketchUcation wishes to grant any discount from the price set by the Author, we will use our commission to cover the costs of such discount and the Author receives the original share of his Royalty

This means that the Premium member discount is covered by SketchUcation so you need not worry.

Thanks Csaba, excellent stuff

It doesn't

olishea

Bob, is it coming up with the normal price or has it added tax somewhere?

New site looks amazing; really polished and easy to navigate. Well done to everyone involved.

Attention :

To save all confusion on here there has being a topic posted here http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=179&t=48123&p=432496#p432496 by our sketchucation developers, the same questions have being asked here on both posts, to save our sketchucation developers from repeating themselfs on both topics I would like to ask all with queries or questions in relation to our new sketchucation site to post at the above link, I'm aware posts can be locked somehow but I'm not sure how to, but the green tick on the post announces this topic is solved.

Ill finish this post again with a big thank you to sketchucation and to congratulate all involved is creating and launching the new site, you have done a fantastic job and made sketchucation a better place for all sketchup artists, the future of sketchucation looks promising and I look forward to what's yet to come, well done and keep up the great work.

Thank you
Damien.
