Some recent exterior renderings using D5 2.8. Won't be a paying job because of outsourcing. Nothing fancy in the modeling. Using D5's new scatter feature. Windows and doors are Flex Tools except for the front door which I did a few years ago.

@jo-ke said in areal rebuild:

@HornOxx this is a special workflow, there is an app, called RenderDoc, which is able to download geometrie of Googlemaps to your Sketchupfile. The quailty is bad, but for objects in distance it is great. I just modelled the buildings in the foreground.

I think this picture explains the geometrie:

Do you import into Blender and export to a DAE?

@Rich-O-Brien

This is funny.

@Rich-O-Brien doesn't look like there is an option to edit signature in the settings or profile areas (found via the vertical triple dots).

also, the "your posts" is called "best posts" - maybe call it "latest posts" or "recent posts" as i'm sure not all my most recent posts are the "best" ones

Did you try clicking on your profile image thumbnail on the upper right and clicking "edit profile" in the pull down menu?

@Gus-R said in NEW Forum Software Issues:

like to see is a dark mode and larger text/font on the right side bar.

We'll look into a plugin to enable dark mode. The font sizing is Theme related but we'll look into it too.

Yes please. Thanks Rich.

@gullfo Rich, when can we start filling up the suggestion box? I only have two things.

Be gentle Gus. Its been a huge undertaking to get the old content into this newer system.

I'd love if users just poked around for a few days to see how it works and feels.

But if you see or experience a genuine system error or unusable feature let us know.

You can put them here as I subbed to this thread

Everything is working fine but the only changes I would like to see is a dark mode and larger text/font on the right side bar. It's too small for my vision. Larger font there would be more important than a dark mode. Although the stark white is kind of hard on the eyes too.

@majid said in Another House in D5:

Looks nice,
I am interested to know what parts are done inside Sketchuo, Are IVYs part of the Sketchup model?

Thanks Majid. This is the extent of all the Sketchup work. The rest is D5 Render assets. The vines are also from D5 with their recent addition of vine procedurals. The arched brick is done first with Curviloft and I settled on using Quadface Tools for mapping.

I get lots of 'notifications' but they never load.

Teething issues while we dial in setting. Can you downvote this please?

Worked that time.

@Rich-O-Brien said in Oooops:

@Gus-R you see who downvoted?

No. All I get is that message in the screenshot.

@Gus-R

@Rich-O-Brien It says I need a reputation of 20 to downvote.

@Gus-R Dark mode would be nice too.

@Rich-O-Brien said in Oooops:

@Gus-R Yes, we are dialling in settings so as to not overload server and bring whole thing down.

Can you downvote this for me?

Downvote? For a test?

@Rich-O-Brien Get off my lawn!

The right side bar's text is kind of small for my aging eyes. Can you make the font bigger?

We'll be tweaking as we go so expect improvements. As you can imagine migrating was a big challenge. Keeping historical stuff was important.

So poke around for a bit before piling on the requests

OK. This just happened too:

@Rich-O-Brien OMG! What is this?

It was created by Justin Horstmann. It's native Sketchup but I don't know about the shadows. You could try shooting him an email. Lots of neat stuff at his website.

If you're wondering about how I found that I just did a screenshot of one of your screenshots and did a reverse image search in Google Images.

Looks like it's more random hit and miss. I think it's still in beta.
