fabiorossi, If you have not looked into Autodesk Showcase I would give it a try. It is really pretty straight forward. It will import FBX and dwg as well as many other engineering based formats. I have attached some of my more recent work using showcase. The Ram interiors and SLS have no post work done. The SRT8 Jeep has very little. These were not modeled in Sketchup (used Modo for most of it) although I wanted to show the capabilities of Showcase. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=6848305&siteID=123112 Scott

I know Thea, Shaderlight, hypershot can do it, not sure about Twilight, Podium or Vray.

Not sure about Vray but Thea can do it no problem.

From an another forum @unknownuser said: Shaderlight for SketchUp I have seen this thread and will be upfront that I work for ArtVPS who is developing Shaderlight. I can confirm that Shaderlight will have the ability to place light sources in a model, we have 5 different light options including IES profiles, so you will be able to quickly place the light profiles to give realistic lighting information. We have also included a new Physical Sky system, which will be a much more realistic version of the SketchUp shadow system. I am going to be at Basecamp next week and will have a slot presenting Shaderlight. But if anybody is there and would like to see the near complete version of Shaderlight I would be happy to sit down and show the software and answer direct questions, I will buy the coffee. Martin

V-Ray doesn't support distorted textures. To work around, make the texture unique. (some render engines does this automatically.)

Are these for 1.05.03 or new version or they work for both?

Hi, I like your rendering of the house esp copper and tiled roof. I am doing a residence which has a copper finish roof material. I applied the copper material and rendered with vray, unfortunately it didnt give the copper effect, but looked like brown color. Any tips or settings that i need to know. I appreciate your help. Thanks

thanks a lot da solo! http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=134aa94b551277b3e7c82ed4b8f0c380e04e75f6e8ebb871

@fabiorossi said: anyone knows a plugin through which you can increase the polygons of a curved surface, for example if I have the lateral surface of a cylinder obtained by extruding a circle with a bit number of segments How do I increase that number of segments without having to shared by a circle with multiple numbers of segments? thanks!! hey brother , i just joined the forum recently , so i am sry ur reply is a year late but anyway if u havent got it yet u can increase the segments on any arc or polygon by just giving it a right click and clicking on entity info , a small window will open in which u will find segment written in it , just increase the segments as u want . as i said just thought of giving it a try even if its too late

.....I've the skp2acad.dll in the Exporters folder for dll's but however I cannot export in dwg format!

Thanks!! the "bubble" is an elliptical line extruded along the curved section of cockpit!!

Thanks Frederik!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
