...Boahhh! Hervorragend !!!

...this post - clearly worth a visit again and again!

...I always love this facet cut(?)! great work, both in SkUp and in print

klasse!

Hi All, maybe not exactly what is asked here but because colour accuracy is the topic here and this question is professionally very important for me as well.
As a rule, and only where colour accuracy is priority #1 which happens quite often with me: In these cases I never export a pixel image out of SkUp but always a PDF (with or without lines). I import this PDF into Adobe Illustrator (or any similar tool), automatically select the relevant fill colours and then, within Adobe Illustrator, convert them to the exactly calibrated colours of our own specific Adobe colour profile. If necessary, I also combine this (still rather dull) PDFs within Adobe Illustrator with an ambient occlusion or shadow rendering of my model which I overlay multiplying there.
I hope this method helps...

...ja, klasse!

what a beautiful example!
(do you all also feel that this smoothing process still impresses you again and again?)

again - so good and well presented!

Wunderbar JoKe!

...how about to start with something like "thanks for the suggestions here but I forgot to mention that I want to 3d-print it..."?

I have no experience with 3d printing so far but I think Fredo6´s Joint Push Pull tool works well for adding thickness

hey - this tentacle-like "suction cup(?)"-thing is extraordinarily promising and superbly textured already now! - I'm curious to see what follows here

... or maybe the good old "Soap Skin Bubble" could be the right tool?

Rich!

Thanks Pnixia, that was exactly my dilemma - it was such a large number of different window components which constantly interfered with each other through their interaction of similar sub-components and I wanted to avoid clicking through all of them at all costs.
If the model had been smaller, I would have chosen your approach...

and the Oscar goes to:
Thanks"! this is exactly what I need

hi all - I have a question
is there any tool which can convert all or selected nested subcomponents, included in a component down into groups?
I need to create some variants of a big model - in it it gets too complicated despite "make unique" because the included subcomponents still keep their original instances information and therefore I am doing too many mistakes
( I have fallen into this component trap I set for myself so many times and have not yet attained the evolutionary stage of learning from my mistakes )

Hi, I'm not sure I understand your concern.
When you create your Plant-PNG as a component you can assign the behaviour "always point to camera" to this component. Then all placed components will always face directly towards your camera automatically, no matter from where you shoot...

thank you All and I appreciate your comments
