[Plugin] Physically-Based Rendering - v1.5.9 - 19 Apr. 2020
-
Hi Samuel,
I get this:
PBR::Chromium.executable
/Users/peter/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2018/SketchUp/Plugins/pbr/Chromium/Mac/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/ChromiumI can get inside the plugin folder and find the chromium app but I can't start it. All priviliges are correct for the files read and write are set for all files within the pbr folder. Maybe if I replace the Chromium app with a newer one from the internet it works? I will try today.
Thanks!
Best,
PeterEdit: OK, after replacing the chromium app with the latest from chromium.org the viewport is working!

PeterHello Peter,
File: exists. Read/Write: granted. OK. Now...
Open a Terminal in OS this time and paste this:
chmod +x '/Users/peter/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2018/SketchUp/Plugins/pbr/Chromium/Mac/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium'
It should make Chromium file executable.
Best regards,

[...] I'm also not sure how I can start a render? Is that the force viewport update or am I missing something. The help page on github is not really helping as well. [...]
I added a Workflow section in GitHub README: https://github.com/SamuelTS/SketchUp-PBR-Plugin#workflow

Next PBR plugin version will include latest Chromium macOS stable version.

So I played around with it a bit. A couple of things I noticed. The suns position doesn't get exported and the UVs aren't coming through correct.
I've added a screenshot. The house is exploded (was a component) but that didn't help.
It looks promising!Best,
Peter

This is a known issue and there is a workaround.

Texture looks weird with perpendicular lines around.
With your preferred photo editing software, resize texture image to a power of 2 in height and width (e.g. 1024x2048, 2048x2048, 4096x4096). Reimport texture image in SketchUp.
