These styles look great, thanks Dave. Now can someone please explain the correct procedure for getting these installed in my styles folder? When I download I get a win-zip file and when unpacked I get 3 xml files, a png., and a ref. folder. I'm using the latest SU6 Pro on a windows machine. TIA

I hope I did this right also?

I placed similar files(skp.) from a SU materials forum into my C drive/Program Files/Google/Google SU6/Materials/Vegetation(this was for trees).
My only worry was that the other files in this folder were (skm.) files.
I asked the question on the board already, just waiting for a generous repy!

Not sure, I'm just a newbie!

Newbie question:
Do I place these in the Materials folder in my Gogle Program file folder.
Those are all skm. file though!

Thanks a lot for the trees!

I just can't get enough.
It seems the creator has another tool coming out called Tensile Structure. Similiar in ways.
Right now it's "Under Construction".

Coming from a newbie myself, I think I would have tried using the Soap skin and Bubble tool, but it just timed out on the night of the April,10th, so the tool is gone for now!

I already miss this tool!

Thanks everyone,
Do you have any suggestions about render applications that support instances. Price info would help too!

I have completed my park layout as far as structural elements with SSB skins. So next I want to add textures(cement) and color, grass, trees and bushes.
I think I am going to save the file as a new name and then figure out how to render it somehow.

Should I soften edges of my SSB skins? (The desired look would be similar to a curvy, free flowing pool.

If I render a component, wouldn't that change all the copies in the file?

What about time? THis is the size I found in the model info: (2957.83KB (3028813 Bytes))

Any tips and advice would be great!

A week or two ago, I downloaded that great bezier curve tool, which I absolutly love BTW.
I would like to add it to the tool bar, but for now I have to keep going up to the top menu and scroll down for it.
I also use some of the key commands for tools such as push pull and pencil/line, and Move, but the black arrow tool/selection tool I didn't come across.

Is there a list of tool commands that I missed?

Thanks again Bob,
I love the way you are able to make those neet tutorials. I assume that this is in Layout or something?
It is such a productive way to learn something. Before you posted this I took a SSB skin ontop of three walls and a floor curved line and interesected it with the push pulled curve shape. THis leaves more cleaning up then your way, due to all the poly sahpes. your way gets the shape you ned, then I can add the skin or use the contour with smoove tool.
Timesaving this way!
Thanks,
Greg

THanks for the replies and thanks to Bob for posting the Bantam 3D. I tried to google it and thought it was gone forever!

Are there any youTube videos or tutorials on the newbie forum list that shows how to make your own textures.
Is Bantam 3d an expensive program?

Nevermind, I'll do a google search for the application!
