      Thank you so much for this!

      Maybe in the future if I learn enough I'll try to make a plugin with couple render features and Ambient Occlusion is really useful to have.

      Cheers!

        Well I only fixed it (proper namespacing, etc.)

        I'm not here much anymore.

              If this works with texture.... omg.

              Edit1:

              Downloaded.. works well, one step closer to baked lightning in sketchup. However I wish I could bake the lightning on to textured surfaces. This plugin has the potential to be amazing.

              Ill run a few tests and post them here

              Edit 1:
              Plugin crashes a lot on 10/10 settings. On a light geometry model.

              Edit 2

              Well the plugin crashes on models other then simple boxes, it also has problems with curves. I guess it still needs a lot of work.

                It is really at the conceptual stage.

                  How do I install this? I've moved the rbz file into the plugins directory but nothing appears in the program? Is it not compatible with SU2013?

                    RBZ is simply a zipped archive that has had it's extension renamed to rbz.

                    What most people do is put them in a subdir of their downloads dir, named whatever you wish.
                    Mine is %(#004000)["<user path>/downloads/SketchUp/plugins"], but you name yours whatever you wish.

                    Then to install semi-manually, you go to:
                    Window (menu) > Preferences (dialog) > Extensions (panel)
                    Then click the Install Extension ... button.
                    A file broswer window opens. Browse to the location where you normally save your zipped plugins.
                    Hilite the one to install.
                    Click OK.
                    SketchUp unzips the plugin into the current SketchUp version's normal plugin directory. (The location varies from platform to platform, and version to version. ie, slowly resources are bing migrated to reside within the User's %AppData% [Windows] or "Application Support" [Mac] paths so as to avoid access permission issues.)

                    If you wish a more automated plugin experience,... install the SketchUcation Tools plugin manager, and install it via it's interface.

                          Hi Jakub and Dan,
                          I'd like to try it. What sketchup versions is this plugin compatible with?
                          I have installed it on 2016, and I can get only options context menu. No result anyway. How to fire an output image? Would it save somewhere onto hdd or display only in viewport? Best regards from Poland!

                            I use it with SketchUp 7.0
                            It saves new textures either in the folder your model is saved or in a temporary folder and then replaces materials in the model so you should see it right away

                            I just started a similar project but using Blender https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180%26amp;t=67569
