Thanks!

Yes, there is the same issue between Vray and Thea. I think they found a way to fix it.
You should contact Tomasz.

I think that it would be great step forward if Trimble would integrate VR interface in new Sketchup 2016, which would be used for modeling!

Amazing work!

EW doesn't have subscriptions yet. So it's a permanent license.

One comment : you should have a link to the extension warehouse on the website.

Looks awesome

When will this become available...??
I thought it would be ready for the 3D Base Camp in London and then for us mortals who couldn't attend shortly after...

You probably misread, every Basecamp attendee will get a 75% off when it goes on sale. This doesn't mean that it went on sale during the Basecamp. Sorry about the confusion.

I can't give you a specific date because I don't know myself... But really, it's a matter of weeks now.

Jan, thanks a lot for these pictures and videos! I can catch up the ones I didn't attend

Here is a closer point of view of my Skatter presentation :

But mostly, a huge thanks goes to Rich and all the team for organizing this amazing event.
Great talks, and it was fantastic to meet everybody

I just posted a video from the Basecamp presentation :

Thanks again to the SketchUcation team for making this event possible!

starting to think this is vaporware...

I can assure you this is not a vaporware. Please consider the fact that developing softwares take a lot of time, and there's a whole lot you can't see.

I think LightUp might be helpful

I'm trying to figure out how this differs from Visualizer...

Visualizer is a true renderer (although very limited features). This is "just" Ambient Occlusion.

It could actually be very interesting if it was happening in the viewport. For client presentation/interaction, etc
Sometimes you just want to add some depth to the model without a realistic render.

SubD sera payant.

Yes, unfortunately the SketchUp api doesn't allow to render directly into the standard viewport

Within a custom Tool, you can draw in the viewport. http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/ourdoc/view#draw2d

Tomasz from Thea Render even found a way to inject the render in the assembly to be able to see the render in the viewport while using any tool. But that's another master level

The result is displayed in a seperate window, not the Sketchup viewport, right?

Chris told me he made Twilight work with it. I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but I trust him

I just created a Facebook page and Twitter account so you can follow the upcoming updates about Skatter.
