Is SketchUp Now Open-Source? Trimble Won't Like This
-
I don't want to hijack this thread, but I also don't want to let the momentum go to waste. For the last couple of months, I've been chipping away at a simple, easy-to-use 3D modeling tool of my own (as a side project next to Rayscaper). It's still very rough around the edges, but I'd like to give people a sneak peek at what's coming and get early feedback on what I'm building. Like with Rayscaper, I love building it with the people who use it.
Check out the first preview here: https://modlumi.com/ - Don't hesitate to leave feedback in the application!
Thanks,
ThomasI'm the developer of Rayscaper: https://rayscaper.com/ - Fast and easy rendering for SketchUp.

@pixelcruncher You're welcome to start a new thread of your own, probably better so that all comments relating to the subject is contained in the same thread.

Things are getting interesting

hello,
pixelcruncher ! not bad ! I like the viewport. I like the selection color, the UI. Geometry is too dark. I could not import a light recent model but it is a good start

Too bad that developers are trying to "reinvent the wheel" in their own ghetto. If only it was implemented as "a-la sketchup" mode inside Blender, it would be another level.
-
@rv1974 We are waiting for a great mind, like yourself, to do that.
-
Good. Competition keeps products fresh and generally the consumer wins.
-
@pixelcruncher Looking good. I was able to draw out a structure very quickly.

@rv1974 We are waiting for a great mind, like yourself, to do that.
who knows, maybe in 3-5 years, with GPT Bougainvillea

@Krass Do you mind sending me the model so I can have a look?
-
Yes I Will do it tomorrow late morning
-
The browser version is a bit limited memory wise but that is normal for the course from what I have seen out there.
-
@Mike-Amos Fair enough, I will have a desktop version available soon. I also have a limited browser version, so I can deploy fixes to users immediately, especially at this early stage. Releasing a new desktop version is always more hassle, and it requires users to upgrade.

So Trimble SketchUp went after IngeTrazo...
-
Trimble's pettiness is unparalleled
-
TBH, not an issue worth worrying about. Plenty of other formats out there.
-
Yes, but I lose the hierarchy and the model groups. I tested DAE and GLB. But I'm not an expert on those formats. In any case, to re-import them into SU, you need to use the "Universal Importer" extension.
-
I think it should be possible to build a plugin for exporting SKP files...

I think folk need to stop using the term "Open source Sketchup" lest the little niggles become a thing of the past and Trimble grind this into the dust.
Be in no doubt that goading the Lion WILL result in legal consequences that ruin lives rather than days so, folks, smarten up.
Trimble have legal and financial resources you cannot properly even dream of.
