I have figured out how to do it in sketchup like you have done but it does not transfer right into kerkythea, plus the model is a clay model so i cant bring any textures into kerkythea. Thanks for the help though

Hey Ladies and Gents
I have a favor that i need help with ASAP. Ive spent the last 3 days trying to get this to work but am not skilled enough in translucency to create this material in Kerkythea. There is a material called litracon which strings fiber optic cables through concrete to allow the transmittance of light through the wall. Making it apper the objects on the inside or casting shadows on the wall. So a person walking on one side of the wall is a black outline of himself on the opposite side. I have attached a texture of the concrete and an example of what i need it to do.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated need an example of it by tommorrow morning lol

THANKS in Advance
Eric

Disregard, after about a half a day of frantic clicking and settigns checks, I finally found the correct setting lol

In kind of a bind, im trying to create a copper mesh in Kerkythea and it will not work for me, Ive used Kerkythea to make a similar material but for some reason I can not get it to work. It is a .png of a rough copper mesh, can anyone help? Not sure what im doin wrong here.

You guys are awesome, thanks so much for the help, and the link. Looks like i need to do some more investigation into 3D model sites!

This may sound wierd but I am looking for a sketchup model of FLW's Unity Temple I tried searching at the 3D Warehouse and had no luck any one know where I could find it.

Does anyone have some suggestions on reading material for rendering systems coming from sketchup? Programs such as Kerkythea, or Podium...etc?

Well Ladies and gents I am back to the same problem I began with, I am now working on a standing seam roof and am having the same problem I was having in my Materials post. When I bring my model into Kerkythea it is picking and choosing certain roof sections to rotate the material on so that instead of running verticaly the seams are running horizontally. I have tried rotating the texture before sending it in but to no avail. Im thinking the problem is somehow in the material I made in Kerkythea to assign to the model upon bringing it into Kerkythea. But this was simply exporting the material in sketchup as a texture image and assigning it to a new material in a library in Kerkythea.

I've attached a jpg of the problem and a sketchup file showing a portion of the roof
Any thoughts?

Wrong Standing Seam Roof.skp

The delete Coplanar edges seems to be the idea, but im not sure how to implement that, do you have a download for a ruby tool?
