If you add one to all features of LU like light analysis(in future, su2rad), it will be great

John put time-slider in the right end at shadow-toolbar and export with lights
and some explanation in POV sample scenes and help-system too...

Strange, i haven't esc-effect...

![my "crappy" light-test(skp-balcony scene)](/uploads/imported_attachments/tCIb_testl.jpg "my "crappy" light-test(skp-balcony scene)")

Pete, as i remember(at my previous occupation) that vue inf/xtreem has dynamic(animation) features for twirling(rotating) of objects...if use static render, you can to add effect to object(merge several frames =~1-5, like excluding object data)...

found some words about maya

nice work
why did not you add motion blur at vanes of propeller by anim.feature of vue?
Or there is more simple way to model this effect by creating of segment components...

sorry...correct

Hello Edson, i think it's shadow helper, then you can use any render solution with minimal lighting options if will use LU maps. And it's "simple" RT-engine, any-way for end-work need Pshp skills...for example look at some work of hypershot from bunkspeed

Thanks for update
esc-pushing error(for placing lights) was fixed by Didier in latest...
John feel free for download it...

Can somebody tell about megapov?

Is it possible (or can you make it) so that we could export the model with baked lighting?

i want too to ask...i remember some technics from skindigo by Dale Martens (aka Whaat and thanks a'lot for it): exporting of photo matched picture...Can we use sample preset to do it?

thank you for update!
Keep it simple!
it's simple 5-min test work with all Finish mats(with photoshop)
used 2bounce-settings(1 picture...phong matt) and skylight-settings(for 3 pics,... glass, glossy) and without photon-mapping (a few dark places)...then layer post-processing in pshp

Please look at export mat like Phong Matt....i used 3.6 pov-ray

@unknownuser said:

I'm interested in a package that'll be suited for landscape. I some times get projects where there's allot of landscape, large terrain and vegetation. And that makes SU choke just thinking of it.

...vue inf/xstream....
and add-ons to other modeling programms like d.p.i.t. for cinema4d, tgen for xsi and ect...

also
i catch this when selected Phong Matt in mat.converter, something is wrong.
resent mat.options is normal

@unknownuser said:

If you change the color of a Point Light component (by painting the selected component without editing the component), then the SU display of ALL Point Lights are changed to that color as well even though the actual color properties of individual Point Lights (as seen in its Entity Info) are different.

it likes feature of light-group(described in manual of pov-ray).
i remember about unique-function...

John, you work with studio-lighting setup?
i add some info in pov-ray editor, for example about area-lights...it's simple...

Lewis, look at http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=235
sketchup had it...mmm RPS

i have su2pov in folders of components and plug-ins. if not, lights aren't created...

Sometimes i see "su2kt" notifications in console when creating of lights(something about status)

another question to Didier: what about area-light's feature to spotlight?

Hello John, have you put su2pov folder(with light components: su2pov_sun.skp, povray_reserved.txt, su2pov_pl.skp, su2pov_sl.skp) into Sketchup components folder?
it works fine!

any way thanks a'lot ...for mat.effects like xray(glass) and ect.

Didier
Big thanks for this!

Simple question: can you add Antialias functions(from QUICKRES.INI) into options?
When i use Final settings, can see pixel-stair.
And another(please don't beat me ) how manage materials?(or need gui for it like poseray)

Thank you for explanation

and when i modify geometry and some features in my scene, can i reset previous setting: remove LU-layer or something?

Thanks,
i move to LU's forum...is it open?

Adam maybe using of sfx(self-extracted exe...in your archive-tool's options) package for 2 files...

Adam what about if somebody made scene and configured lightUp's options, and remotely sent to other...how to start rendering?
for example your studio-file, i open and what i do to start simulation? when i push TourTool and there is no actions...then add AO and push TT, it works fine

I forget to add that i register at lightUp's forum

Sorry for my English

Daniel, try this

1. create any mesh(with any mat)
2. Add sketchup shadow
3. Select all(geometry) and push Ambient Occlusion, then Direct Illumination
4. TourTool

John extract by free 7-zip ...or winzip, WinRar
i unpacked normally...

Thank you Adam!
(small...different definitions in getting started and tips of tool...Query Tool and lightsource)...

i have first crash..i try to replicate tutorial...but appear bugsplat
i will try to get normally....

what about light sources in components-in-components?
sorry i missed Known Issues

get it and small test at sphere...
Thanks again!!!!
