Why would Radeon not work with SU?

I've built and rendered massive projects on an old Dell Lattitude D620 with its TERRIBLE graphics card even in SU7 before it handled big scenes well.

I have heard great things about Sony VAIO.

Excellent work, as always, Massimo.

I am not aware that one is allowed to resell Photoshop legitimately. One would be wise to call Pshop directly and ask the question from the source before one is burned.

Pilou, tu fais QUOIS exactement toute la journee?!

My Dearest Love,
I thought that today you should see this photo of when we first met.

Alex,
Try this.

meanwhile, I will try the other IES creation program to see what your issue might be.
Don't forget - if you post any issue on Twilight's forum, they are VERY responsive and helpful.

updated post above with bigger/better animation example.

from what I've read it seems limited to scenes and the number of components. What I'm looking to do is animate, say a bridge, being put together from components. Not just appearing with layers, but the pieces flying in from "off screen" .

Either Proper Animation or Keyframe Animation can do this for you. Easy. There's no limit like you say. Only limit is if user doesn't learn to use the tool.

See animation made above with Proper Animation, or see this video with Keyframe.

Please click the little thumbnail images, not the screenshot! That should work. If not, you need to update your flash player in your web browser, or allow some of the scripts on pan0.net in your browser security settings.
Just added a different panoramic view today... (slightly lower resolution)

Visit the first panoramic here:

Oh! the panoramic image of the Bar - that's the site's testpanoramic. If you see it fine, just click the "skip" button you should be able to see the image.

Thanks Karina.

Well, this building is actually not originally modelled in SU, it was modelled in Blender and painstakingly converted into a "component-driven" SketchUp model - mostly because it had many reversed face issues due to the conversion process from Blender file to .obj format.

Also, it's not actually that accurate of a model, in the sense that the real museum is so mind-blowingly complex. It has hundreds of fine terra cotta details including monkeys and birds, etc. Check the link at the beginning of this thread to find out more.

I hope to visit the building one day. I unfortunately missed it on my last trip to London.

The brick walls and diamond detail columns are a rough approximate of the "real thing".

Here's my first experiment with a spherical image of this space.

Couldn't resist just one more.

Thanks, Sepo. I was hoping you would like the stone block better. (I do too)
see full high-res image in original thread here.

Fredo, with you+SketchUp it eliminates need for almost any other modeling software.
(except for Sculptris... but I believe Whaat will have that covered in a few days/weeks/months.)

Updated view, and changed the wall material.

An update, and a new view.

DOF is done with the render engine camera setting - F-number 2.8

Just so that people are aware, Keyframe Animation renders well (in initial testing) with Twilight Render Plugin for Google SketchUp.
Keep up the good work, RPolygon.
