    • RE: Question about VUE (mostly for SOLO)

      Dylan, I don't think anyone has a forum like SCF. I'm always amazed how questions are answered so quickly, how much help is offered here, the contributions of the great script writers, and how much that I've learned here. Sorry for the off topic.

    • RE: Go Team USA hockey

      Yes Ryan Miller was amazing and I don't think anyone is counting Canada out, lots of hockey left.

    • RE: Small bathroom remodel

      @steelers05, yeah, it was difficult to get decent views as the space is only 9'6"x7'6". Kept ending up inside walls and with a wider fov everything was way too distorted. How do you guys deal with these situations?

      @arjunmax09, these were render with Vray, not the new version though, decided to wait for a patch before I upgrade.

    • RE: Small bathroom remodel

      Scott, yes that's a GFCI oulet, we actually had the glass company cut two holes in the mirror for the electrical boxes, one for the oulet and one for the lightbar. The oulet cover is also mirrored, it actually looks pretty neat in real life. The plumbing and electric were a real nightmare on this project, this house was built in 1900 by the Pittsburgh Fire Company and advertised as a "fireproof" home, all the exterior and interior walls were terra cotta block and the floors concrete and this bathroom was on the second floor. We built 2x4 walls against the existing walls at the vanity and shower wall with the glass block to accept the plumbing and electric. Thats also why theres that chase at the double switch. We didn't want to frame out all the walls as the space was pretty small to start with. Thanks for your comments.

    • RE: Small bathroom remodel

      Thanks for the comments, it does mean alot coming from you guys since there's always such great work posted on the forum. I feel my renders have improved quite a bit but something still doesn't sit right with me, missing that "something" to take my renders to the next level, any suggestions to improve these? Thanks again.

      A couple renders I did a few weeks ago for a bathroom remodel that we should be finishing this week. As usual all C&C is much appreciated, thanks.

      Thats the way drop.rb works, try these, I think they'll work better for your needs.

    • RE: Who else is buried??...

      Well we got only another 7" and the high winds that were being forcast never did show up, so we're starting to get back to normal, thank goodness cause I'm tired of shoveling. Adam, I hope the worst is over for you too, hopefully you didn't have all that time in the plow truck.

    • Who else is buried??...

      Just wondering who else here is buried in the snow. Pittsburgh got between 15 to 20 inches this weekend with another 6 to 10 expected today and tomorrow. I'm actually enjoying the extra time sketchupping, so long as the power stays on. At one point there was about 200,000 people without power, thats now down to 40,000.

      Privacy issues aside, who do you think is gonna pay for something like this? I'm sick of the fact that me, my children and grandchildren are gonna have to pay for the stupid policies of my government and I'm talking about both the Bush and Obama administrations. It has to stop sometime.

    • RE: Landscape Plant Packs - 68 total (update w. alphas)

      fbo_bern, you need to load the alpha in the transparency slot of the diffuse material for it to render in Vray, at least till the new version is out.

    • RE: Water Rednering - Vray in Sketchup

      Yes the water should have some volume. There have been a few posts here about liquid in a glass, the same principles would apply to a fish tank. Search the forum, here's one that might help, http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=18711
