SketchUp Curved Tree Lines V1
-
Peter: I don't really know to whom I can pose this issue but it has been persistent for as long as I've known SketchUp.
For simple outputs, they work great in clay renders too

Does it help if you set transparency to "nicer" under your styles settings? (Note that the nicer it is, the slower SU can be with lots of transparent objects - I usually keep it at medium and if needed, set it to nicer only for export)
Ah, and great treelines, Oli.

YES YES YES!!
You are absolutely correct!! I owe you a drink Gaieus!
I can't believe I never tried this before!!
Do you mind if I post that image at the start of this thread Csaba as to avoid confusion?
Layered PNGs straight from SketchUp:

Wow, thank you Gai! I am sure I have turned that transparency setting up or down--time to time. Perhaps this is why this issue seemed to be elusive. I've spent a good deal of time trying to make up for this (trimming etc.) Peter

@Oli: please, post it wherever you wish (but also the warning of slowness). I may even make a mini-tutorial of this (I need some png's that display this very apparently when overlain - will see what I have).
@Peter: note that this is a style setting and as such, remembered under scenes so unless you update your style, when you go back to a scene, it's lost. This may also be a reason for not noticing - or for its not being so obvious.
At the same time however, you can have a scene with a faster setting and another one with a nicer setting - i.e. you can quickly navigate in one then switch to the other one for export (make sure you get the scenes not to remember camera settings).

Thanks Gai,
I noticed a change in a (2 1/2 D) tree that against the backdrop actually got bad -while the backdrops got fixed. I can change the tree in this case.
I am working with someone else and their styles, modifying back and forth. We'd only use this in the output scenes that are sloooow already. I have a speed scene set for working. (if we can call it speed)
Looking at this at "faster" setting today--problem disappeared in SU, only to show in the layout file... So it can be a nuisance.

A SketchUp scene with several tree lines:
Please see this tutorial to prevent white halos around the tree lines during raw sketchup export.
A render using Thea:
A different tree line from the collection:

These tree lines are back up in the SketchUcation shop.

Thanks Oli. I will definitely check it out. Your initial tree lines certainly have helped me in a few projects!
