I like them... They look really good...!
Why don't you post them at the KT Forum...

Almost a year has past since the release of Google SU 6...
Does anyone know when Google plan for next release..??
Is beta-testing ongoing at the moment??

And - perhaps a bit off topic... Does anybody know how many "seats" of SU Pro licenses have been sold..??
I remember from the old (read: prior to the Google Group Forum) that somebody mentioned +30K...

This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Well done, Solo!

Your texture database must be huge...

Excellent!!

Hi Daniel,

Would it be possible for you to make the 'skippy'-file available for me somehow..??
If you zip it and if it's not too big, you can send it to my e-mail: frederik [at] kerkythea.net

This is the only way I can debug it...

Cheers
Kim Frederik

Once again, I've missed the boat for creating a really cool Christmas card. I always do this. I'm going to start in July next year!

And by when should we sign up on your list..??

You such a show off, Jason...
This is really, really amazing...

I'm sure your friends and family will get impressed when they receive this x-mas card...
It's been very inspiring to follow this one... Just like the other holiday card you made...

I'm sure we've all gotten a bit more in x-mas mood after having seen these...

Thanks for sharing...! I might steal some of your ideas...
(to make it more easy for me, would you mind sharing the 'skippy'..?? )

What import settings to use to get it 'clean' in Sketchup. How to setup clipmaps for the leaves etc....

I can see the benefits for people that want to add a nice tree in their renderings of Sketchup models. The same goes for adding 3d people or 3d cars in scenes.

Learning things from one another is one of the ingredients of the glue that holds a community like this together.

I fully agree with you regarding the above, Kwistenbiebel... However, the thing is, that I don't import the Xfrog trees directly into SU...
I haven't even dared trying, because of the high poly count, but I would assume that it will be more or less impossible to orbit the SU model...

I add trees, scrub and grass directly in KT...
Doesn't work with current official version, but works excellent and very easy with next release which we hope to be able to release this month...

Amen...
I agree that this should be put to a rest now...
I feel confident when saying, that we won't see renders of models, where SU hasn't been at least part of the project... Why would anyone want to do that, except if they want to show-off...

If a model is made in another application and rendered, people should post their work in a forum belonging to the application used for modelling...

Having said that, I do recall postings in the "old" SU Forum, where some users occasionally posted renders modelled using other applications... I.e. Viz models...

I can only take myself as an example... Personally I only use SU for modelling, but when it comes to renders, I do import i.e. Xfrog trees and scrub for the surroundings... But the model of typically a house have been made using SU... And I assume that such renders will be OK, as long as I don't post a render solely of the Xfrog trees...

But good discussion here...

What a nice model, Chris!
You're a true artist...

Hi All,

Here's a little "update"...
I showed this to one of my friends, who happen to be the owner of a carpenter company...
He asked me if I could make a Holiday card with his logo and color... So I did...

So I guess you can say that I'm into this holiday card business now...

Frederik, as I have stated a couple of times now, all of this can be found in the announcement. I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but it really sucks if there is more than enough time spent on preparations (such as a properly written announcement) and then people still report on missing e-mails. We have informed everybody of this in our announcement (that is partly what it is for). Now if people don't bother reading these things then obviously they will miss such details. So please, next time, read the announcement in full.

Thank you.

My apology, Coen!

Will never happen again...

Cheers
Kim Frederik

I have the same as Paul...
Registered, but haven't received an e-mail...
But I'm able to login using my new account...

Thought I should let you know...

Cheers
