Hi pibuz,

If you have Dropbox I can take a look at the file that is giving you problems.

Released 1.0.5, fixing a bug causing a bunch of crashes. Thanks to Thomthom for the help.

Just released 1.0.4, it should fix the face/material issue.

Thomthom,, I just installed Dropbox, how am I gonna share a folder with you?

TIG, yes, I did. Please be patient, it'll be fixed soon. I'm just working on this on my spare time

Thomthom, I've never tried a file that big. How many polygons is it?

Just released 1.0.3, should have transparency working properly.

Hi pibuz, can you provide the file that causes problems?

Released 1.0.2, should fix the issues...

Richard, can you provide the file that causes the crashes?

Hi TIG,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll put them on the top of the list.

There is a distinction between "FluidImporter" and "FluidRay".
FluidImporter is a plugin to import .obj files in SketchUp and is FREE.
FluidRay is the physically based renderer, and is in fact available in DEMO version.
If you want a FREE .obj importer, just scroll down the download page... http://www.fluidray.com/downloads

No, FluidImporter is completely free.

Hi Everybody,

We just released the first beta of FluidImporter, a free, fast .obj importer entirely written in C++.
For now it supports only the .obj format, other formats will be added in future releases.
You can grab it from http://www.fluidimporter.com/downloads
