lol...i just figured it's hardly worth going to bed...i have to up at 5am.....

...damn deadlines eh..??!!

Thanks Dave...that worked

this is a new laptop and i am going through that tedious process of setting everything up....admin permissions were set up so that i wouldn't have this issue, in fact i haven't had any other issues (until now)

anyhow, you have been most helpful....i appreciate your time and patience and prompt responses

its 1am here down under...bed time for me now...!!

cheers

Gareth

Sorry....thought you wanted a screenshot of the .rb

what i dont have is clf_shape_bender_loader

Yep...i restarted SU

Hi Dave,

No I hadn't thought to do that, other plugins had installed correctly. However, I have just changed administrative permissions and it has appeared in the Plugins folder, but still no Shape Bender in SU

I have Shape Bender on SU 7 Pro and Windows Vista and it works great (thank you it is extremely useful..!)

I have just tried installing it on a new computer with SU 8 Pro and Windows 7 64 Bit.....clf_shape_bender is visible in my Plugins Folder but progressbar.rb wont copy from my Downloads folder to the Plugins Folder....consequently, there is nothing showing up when I open up SU8 Pro

.....I have read the previous posts, but i may have missed something in this topic regarding SU8 installation problems..??

.....any help would be appreciated

#2 for me as well

the SketchUp model is delightful....dare i say, elegant...?!!

.....lovely work

nice work guys...!!

i have a few friends who are teachers and have put them onto SketchUp over the last few years so they can get their students interested, as well as a few clients and their kids too......so i'll pass this onto them

Lapx, did you ever finish the wave, how did it turn out?

I was wondering the same thing...!!

Bryan....thank you, you are perhaps a little too kind, but i appreciate it...!!

....it isn't that anyone told me they were unworthy, it is more my opinion because i struggled to get the result i was imagining....when time permits, i'll learn a little more and try again....!!

the guys at Twilight have been very helpful with their advice and suggestions, and there are a few ideas i should experiment with

oh well here goes.....i'll post them anyway (and then i'll hide....!!)

one image with the lights on, and the other with most them off

thanks Bryan

...i have a few night shots too, but i don't think they are worthy of posting

Nice work Gareth. A good showing of what Twilight can do. I think there are far too many lights on in the house for as much exterior light is coming in. Perhaps two renders are in order. One toward the evening with the lights on and one during the day with mostly exterior and a few fill lights illuminating the scene.

Awesome design though. The courtyard is very cool.

hi Earthmover,

long time no see...!!....actually i haven't been in here for a long time until recently

i agree with you, perhaps a few too many lights, but one of the reasons for having most of the lights on was to test the speed of the render settings as a result of having so many lights on at the same time

i'll see if i can find another render i did with just the wall lights on

@jarynzlesa said:

nice concept, I can see an idea, but I think that the design need some improvement (for practical use).
Is that the highest quality that Twilight can produce in this case?
Is this interior style typical for nowdays interiors in Australia?

Hi jarynzlesa,

these are rendered on my laptop which is quite slow, but the results are quite ok under the circumstances....however, much better results could have been achieved if i had let the render run for a few more hours, or better still if i had an i7 which would have afforded me many more passes and in less than half the time...!!

i should have explained that the model was created to test conflicting lighting environments between an illuminated inside and daylight.

what you see in the model is actually the total model....just a simple box with a courtyard as the focus and the principle source of daylight

another view

Rendered in Twilight

First one I'd peg for a photo if I didn't know it was a render. Nice work!

great, clean renders....!!

same raw model with a different sky background

...once again, about 20 minutes rendered in Twilight

...i should add that the water material is is from one of Majid's collection
