Very good. Not sure why the problem but it shouldn't be a problem now.

... I will ask this from the professionals, but do not believe in a script from there - but if I learn anything new worth knowing, i will inform you here of course

@dave r said: Sam D Mitch has withdrawn his extensions and it wouldn't be right to share them. You might look at S4U Align from the SCF Plugin Store or Curic Align from the Extension Warehouse. Thanks Dave R. Yes, others have suggested a solution to me too using Curic plugins. Curic Reset Rotation + Curic Space + Curic Align

Thanks @faust07, I hadn't bothered to check for an update! @HornOxx, you can try the newer version to see whether it helps. If my theory is correct about what is happening, it will still fail the same way. I noticed in the comments on the new version the author says he created it for use when importing into Lumion, but as of Lumion 3 it isn't needed any more.

Nice rendering - How did you do the lighting effects and the motion blur?

Thank you both @Box - the extrusion tools are there all the time, I just hadn't even noticed this option and there are so great intersction-options as well ! @Pilou - again a good tool tip that I will take into account also

@juju said: ... however, was that not discontinued and replaced with a commercial extension? you were right Juju https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=53065&hilit=Renderiza#p630707

@mike amos said: Agreed, ... I used Shaderlight but even then, a lot could be achieved with little effort. Thanks for your comments More or less, this thing here is A Never-Ending WIP Besides all it´s limitations, at this point the simplicity of Shaderlight is a real blessing as well because these kind of tasks (there are much more ones like the shown one) can also be done by inexperienced and rendernonaffine users! Everything else takes place elsewhere anyway and on other secondary tools like Adobe Indesign etc. I would like to add another impression. This “dummy” studio scene below, consisting of 3 camera scene settings, is adjusted and fixed in exactly the same way as described before. Also here the same rule must apply, at least if you want to stay master of this thing: No changes !!! Always the same studio conditions!!! and Avoid any tastes!!! - also those of your boss After all, it must be possible to change or supplement a material assortment at any time… The example shown now (just an extract of almost endless possibilities) already contains 3 different studio settings, supplemented with additional content (so was added a tree cutout billboard to bring variant-shading onto the material scene and, in addition to the HDRI lighting, additional artificial studio light). this means as well: if you are working constantly for an investor or client for example who would like your support again next year, but at the same time wants, that his visual appearance remains the same “look and feel”, this kind of fixed and ruled workflow is a mandatory requirement… Best, HornOxx [image: BPqz_MaterialsMass.jpg]

thanks! and keep couching

If installing SketchUp using "Run as administrator" doesn't work for you... You might need to manually install the files it's choking on in the error message... That is Microsoft.NET framework 4.5.2 or better [64 & 32 bit] Which should include C++ libs 14 ? Download it separately and install it... https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-framework-runtime/net452 Then retry installing SketchUp using "Run as administrator"...

crashes at startup are typically related to the following 3 reasons: 1.) Win: faulty OpenGL support of used graphics card driver 2.) incompatible or faulty extensions/plugins 3.) Win: faulty program installation to fix: 1.) Win: update to latest version 1.) Win: ensure that SU is running on a dedicated graphics card (preferrably a nVidia GeForce) if available instead of an integrated graphics sub-system as e.g. the intel HD: "nVidia Control Panel > 3D Settings > SketchUp...") 2.) disable Ruby extensions/scripts by adding the following parameter to the SU command line: - Win: "...\SketchUp.exe /DisableRubyAPI" - Mac: "...\SketchUp.exe -DisableRubyAPI YES" 3.) Win: install by: "right-click > Run as Administrator" 3.) Win: ensure that the required SU prerequisites (= MS runtime libraries) are fully installed resp. download and install them manually

A very versatile tool indeed! Just a little trick : all Targets must be a same copy component else Source(s) don't follow the different target's orientations! I believe in this one you have Relative size or not! ComponentReplace.zip

@pmolson said: ...The building felt like it was falling away from the viewer. What do you think?... Thanks Paul - yes, your suggestion and adjustments bring a much better result! Did you do that manually with PS?

Very cool! Can you post more views?

Good job, i remember some funky rescue capsule at the end of one film too. Sad Loss for England & The Queen

@rami_lpm said: Hello everyone. I've modified the plugin so it saves textures as png. It will also respect(mostly) the names of already textured materials. @jql said: ...This is a wonderful place! Nothing to add here - just like JQL said it again thanks a lot!!!

A very well thought-out work and important findings.... In rendering programs, I would like to have an option to automatically hide geometry outside the camera field of view or objects completely hidden by geometry in the foreground. This is especially useful for camera panning in motion simulations, etc., as the constellation of objects is constantly changing. Of course, this is not possible when objects outside the field of view are required for reflections or shadows.

I'm psychic. I'm happy that gave you the fix.
