    • RE: Julia Eneroth's Viewport Resizer / SketchUp 2023

      If that helps: a plugin for easily exporting SketchUp images, as shown in the viewport but with free input of height, width, format and compression.
      Originally modified for a smooth scene animation to coincide with the Skindigo AnimationExport (Indigo Render Animation).
      Here reduced to a SketchUp single image output with input of image parameters.
      Transfer the code to an rb file called Single_Image_Export.rb and copy it to the plugin folder of the respective SUp version (tested up to SUp2022).
      Restart SketchUp ....

      I'm glad this helps.
      I find it a shame that the SkerchUp programmers have not yet considered it necessary to implement a precisely definable image export, even though the basic functions are available in Rubi.
      Regarding school: "Hochschule für Architektur- und Bauwesen Weimar" today "Bauhaus Universität" - we punched out punched cards and handed them over to the computer center (short time after Konrad Zuse...) 😉
      I learned most of Rubi from AntonS for scripting in MSPhysics and from customizing simple plugins for my own purposes. It's enough for small things...

      @Anton_S
      Did I read that correctly? - "I got to get mpshysics back to life!"
      Yes! Yes! Yes!
      That would be fantastic. When will the time come?

    • RE: A little Fun Exercise

      Great!
      Funny and detailed model and as always informatively presented!
      It makes me want to play with MSPhysics again.
      I still have a lot of half-finished fun projects lying in the HD drawer...
      Unfortunately I haven't had the time or inclination for it for 2 years, even though good old SketchUp 2017 still works.
      How did you model/arrange the different poses?

    • RE: Twilight Render Sunset

      As one of the few Indigo (RT) users and fan of moving images here in the forum, I have to mourn the quiet end of Indigo. There has been no movement since November 2023.
      Due to the very good integration into MSPhysics for animations and simulations (author AntonS), it was and is irreplaceable for me.
      Luckily, this combination still works great. The question is, for how much longer?
      At some point, new hardware and new versions of operating systems are always required (computers don't last forever either). Then it's over.
      An alternative could actually be Rayscaper if it can be integrated into current animation programs (e.g. Animator from Fredo6).
      Otherwise, I'll have to get used to the idea of finally learning and using Blender with its endless possibilities...
      Of course, SketchUp with its unique NPR styles remains the first choice for city planning and architectural concepts.
