There was a thread a few months ago in which a load of us posted screenshots of our workspace and also the Plugins folder. Of course, some users find some plugins more useful than others, but if you study the various postings it ought to give you a rough straw-poll of which plugins prove to be generally the most useful. One or two people seem to have gone completely overboard with the number they use, but many of us already realised...like yourself...that more is not necessarily better.

Thanks Thom.

yeah, github is really a nice place for working on a project that is open source (you can have private projects as well). I don't use it for SU Ruby scripts (use smustard.com for it) but I use for other projects and it is really nice. there is also http://gist.github.com/ that you can use for snippets of code that are version controlled

Bytor- Thank you- Yes, the city light and how to show it can/is a big issue. Sometimes it ends up looking more like a daytime scene... Solo- Thank you- SketchUp + FormFonts makes it easy(ish) to add those kind of details which push your output to a more tangible level for clients. Gaieus- oops, I thought this was your doing... Well, thank you for administrating it! I have to say- I really don't know much about rendering, it really is Kerkythea... I have been using it for quite a while and one of things I hopefully was able to help with, was telling all of the physics nerds (I say that with love...) that unless an architect nob, like myself can use this easily, we won't use it. The interface of Kerkythea has really come a long way and combine the plug-in SU2K- Literally, you can export you .skp to KT and hit render and get something you would show a client. Thanks again for the warm welcome, I look forward to learn and share with everyone here... Aaron "gistman" Gist
