First, Is this Plugin works for Mac OS SketchUp 2018 Pro?
I managed to Install it and I have SimLab USDZ exporter Installed that works fine.
After I install this Plugin SketchUp crashes, cant even save or load any object?
I can draw a new mesh and even open this plugin, Load maps etc but when the try export files Aplication Crashes?
My SketchUp the doesent work properly until I deinstall this Plugin.

/ DanielFirst, 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:
- Open "Window > Ruby Console".
- Copy-paste below code:
PBR;;GlTF.export- Press enter to execute above code.
- 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?

I think this message is about the last version of SketchUcation ExtensionStore

Hi Pablo.
4.2.6 ?
I'm working on the 2.x version of the PBR plugin but the latest public version available at SketchUcation is 1.5.9. -
Hi Samuel,
First thanks for this great plugin (just like all of your other goodies).
Some questions about the materials:
-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
Thanks for your time.

That's very kind!

Some questions about the materials:
-what is the difference between the heightfield map and the normal map features ?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...

Handmade or automatic? Some softwares can autogenerate an [ambient] occlusion map from a diffuse texture...

The PBR 2.x plugin should reach photorealism.@didier bur said:
Thanks for your time.
You're welcome!

Hi Samuel,
Thanks for your answers.
I'm curious to know why each time I launch Sketchup I get the message:
It loads the Web page where I can dowload version 1.5.9.
Where can I find version 4.2.6 ?Best regards,
