Lighting Plugin for Sketchup
-
This would be the most interesting addition to SketchUp, as far as I am concerned, in three years. Looking forward to final product, Adam.
-
I am open for creating a bridge between Podium and Adam's plugin, maybe an open format that allows exchanging of info
-
-
TBD....that would be great right? Combined with the power of upcoming Podium 2.0...

Right now my head is buried in finishing this thing. When the dust settles, I get some sleep, then sometime we should have a chat. But as I've said before, these are totally different architectures attempting to solve essentially different problems. My concern is trying to whack a square peg into a round hole in the expectation something wonderful will come out of it, is a road to disappointment for developers and users.
Right now my focus is fast, interactive walkthrough of models with lighting to give a flavor of the space.
The lighting I use is non-physically based, it is biased, it is an approximation. But its really effective of giving a sense of a place and its very very fast.
So. Sure we should talk. But lets not get ahead of ourselves here. Perhaps these is a useful crossover but I'm having trouble understanding what it is. Thats all.
And when is 2.0 out?
All the best,
Adam -
one way:
- user adds lights in AL (Adam's Lighting plugin) and see in realtime a preview of the model
- Podium detects the lights from AL and renders using those lights
another way:
- Podium renders and creates a textured lightmap
- AL loads the file and allows further modifications

Hey AdamB,
Google posted an ad looking to hire someone right now to develop sketchup and layout.
Ad is here: http://seeker.dice.com/jobsearch/servlet/JobSearch?op=101&dockey=xml/7/4/742c0bc0e4e8fa719ece6825dbef9444@endecaindex&c=1&source=2021&spon=shpaid
Not sure if you're interested, but thought you'd like to take a look since you're pretty much doing it now, anyway. -
Hello Adam!
I'm looking at some ipr-technics of bunkspeed's hypershot, it will be nice to see such in skipy
i remember that you wrote about Renderman...have you or anybody look at Rubyman(sourceforge)?
-
Here's a link of the latest video.
-
That looks wicked! the background picture thing is also awesome! just a big bucket of cool really.
-
We are watching ¡¡¡
Congrats.
-
..."that's about it for this episode" struck me as akin to an irreverant "that's about it for this day of creation"... :`)
REALLY COOL, ADAM...CAN'T WAIT!
-
Adam,
This is truly freakin' amazing. Real time lighting and rendering with sky box features to boot. No other program does this that I know of. Please keep it affordable for us poor folks.
Sign me up.

just a quick question adam, will you be able to see the sky box background in a podium render?

I do plan on wrapping up development in March so its not going to be too long after that I can have it for sale.
AdamGuys,
This month is March so we could be looking at a launch in a few weeks time! I'd be inclined to not ask any more questions and just let him burn the night oil

That video is great, very exciting.
-
That video is a very nice 'proof of concept'.
Great coding Adam !
The background 360° is definitely cool as well.
Is it a 'equirectangular'(lat/long) image or a 'sky probe' image?The ambient occlusion render method seems really fast and on a textured model the effect is not bad at all.
(still hoping though to have other render engines behind it in a later phase
)Keep up the great stuff!
