adam! this is great! cant wait!
one small thing.. i hope u update those images in ur site with higher res ones... those images now have some serious AA problems.. it might turn off a lot of ppl!

Yes, I should explain on the website those are all just screenshots from a tour of the model - ie running at 30Hz. LightUp can generate 9000+ x 6000+ still images if its resolution you want.

Adam - Why not invite some of us in just a few days before you "officially" release it - we might be able to help you gather some sexy shots for your gallery. Just an idea! But seriously, I think the gallery of any software like yours is very important. In any event, I am sure you will get lots of support and constructive suggestions from those of us on sketchucation...Jason

Hi Adam,

Please remember you only get one shot at making a
'first (good) impression'

Registered on the website and signed up to the RSS feed.

By the way, the images used in the gallery is from a template of sorts I assume. I think I recognise all three pics, they all seem to be from Cape Town area, South Africa.

1. Hout Bay looking towards Chapmans Peak.
   

2. Chapmans Peak looking towards Hout Bay.
   

3. That is either Chapmans peak drive or a pic from the cliff road looking towards the "Twelve Apostles".
   

How's my score?

Pardon the BIG OT ppl.

Jeez man, come say "howzit" in the South Africa Local User Group. Are you permanently in the UK or only temporary?

+++EDIT+++
OK, I think maybe I understood it wrong, for a second there I thought you meant you're from SA. Wrong / right?

Adam, I registered then tried to log in. The site does not recognize the email address I signed up with. So I tried registering again and it says that email is already registered. And yes I checked the password several times.
I am unable to login.

Eric, AFAIK you get an e-mail with an URL that you need to visit in order to confirm registration. Thereafter you should be able to log in.

Thanks Julian.
Adam got me fixed up.

I must be doing something wrong..

[JClements]

I downloaded the zip file, went to its properties and unblocked it, but still couldn't extract the contents without the Windows Block Content dialog.

[ilay7k]

Daniel, try this

1. create any mesh(with any mat)
2. Add sketchup shadow
3. Select all(geometry) and push Ambient Occlusion, then Direct Illumination
4. TourTool

Sounds like you have a virus-checker stopping the installation. Perhaps you should install elsewhere and move the files manually.
