                            First, sorry for this late reply:

                            This plugin is compatible with SketchUp 2017-2021 for Windows and should be compatible with SketchUp 2017-2021 for macOS.

                            If this plugin crashes when you export model as glTF file, you can try to in order:

                            1. Open "Window > Ruby Console".
                            2. Copy-paste below code:
                            PBR;;GlTF.export
                            
                            1. Press enter to execute above code.
                            2. Send me a screenshot.

                                Hi. From a month, more or less, I got a popup when SU starts that said something about a newer version 4.2.6 from this plugin and opens this SketchUcation page when message accepted. But I see no news here about newer releases of this plugin. Does anybody here tell me what's wrong?

                                        -what is the difference between the heightfield map and the normal map features ?

                                        • how to get an occlusion map based on a jpg texture ?

                                        I'm starting some tests and amazed with the results ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                        Thanks for your time.

                                          The height map in the PBR 1.x plugin is a parallax occlusion map. The height map is a grayscale image which simulates a "deep relief". You can use a displacement map from Poly Haven (for example) as a height map. Whereas the normal map encodes the "bas-relief" in the RGB channels of an image...

                                            Thanks for your answers.
                                            I'm curious to know why each time I launch Sketchup I get the message:

                                            version PBR.jpg

                                            It loads the Web page where I can dowload version 1.5.9. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
                                            Where can I find version 4.2.6 ?
