      I was reading on the google SU forums and saw a post about "Brighter3D" An SU plugin.
      http://www.brighter3d.com/
      Is anyone familiar. I was curious why the author wasn't active here.

      With a newly purchased computer (i5) I am now able to do a little rendering I hope so I was wondering...Is kerkythia still the preferred engine for beginners?

      advice?

      I found kerkythea quite difficult when I was starting out. Learnt a lot from podium and twilight.

              I could have sworn I had sketchup turned off when I installed. But apparently not as that seemed to do the trick.

                Test run... Seems very powerful.

                  It's nice and simple, very quick, but it has a few bugs.

                  As a render virgin I didn't have much trouble getting the basics working.

                  Certainly made it easy to give my Av a very different look.

                    Perhaps this new discovery should be added to this topic/ thread:

                    404 Not Found

                    favicon

                    (sketchucation.com)

                    Just a thought...

                    I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                        I guess they'll be charging later and thus the rather small renderings.

                          I have been playing with kerkythea too....but I like working inside SUjust a doodle.not bad for 60 secondswith adaptive antialiasing  selected

                            In fact, resistance was futile.

                              @mics_54:Thanks for the head up.

                              But I cannot install it! When running setup.exe (with admin privileges) this message pops up:

                              I'm running Windows 7 ... 😲
                              Anyone else encountered this ?

                                no, sorry I didn't have that issue.
                                I didn't recall seeing any thing on his forum about it.

                                  Didier... If you don't know what's going on then who the hell does?

                                  this might help?

                                    Ask in the brighter forum, they are very good at responding.
                                    I've had a long chat via email with them.

                                      I only have Windows XP and hope they support it soon.

                                        I recommend everyone to test and use the plugin. The staff at Brighter3d sent me very quickly an installer which does not check the Win version, they are very aware of problems when you post at their forum.

                                            @Pilou: Yes 800x450 (16:9) is the max 😞
                                            Higher resolutions will be payware I guess.
                                            But the plugin is simple, easy to use, and quite fast at renderings
