i dont know. the first image is very easy to achieve even in vray sketchup.. why dont you learn from the setting of the different guys here. Look for those MTM (mini the makings) download the pdf tutorials and see it for yourself. there is no quick quick stuff in learning. understand why these guys are doing them like that..

download all the MTMs here.. http://www.sketchupvrayresources.blogspot.com

well i have seen those mtms what i'm trying to achieve is that the fluroescent tubelights should give the same uniform light effect as that in real life. what i do to create uniformity is create a rectangular light to get that even lighting, and i just make my tubelights emissive. they dont have any lighting material[that have lumens, watts, etc.]

in autocad while selecting a lot of objects we often do a step that makes them deselect all. there's a command - called "PREVIOUS" which selects the previous objects. This issue also happens in sketchup but i don't know of any command like this "Previous" that selects the objects that were last selected.

I have to select all objects once again which wastes time. is there a workaround?

does anyone have a tutorial for rendering an su walkthrough in vray 1.49.01??

Are you talking about the manuals or the Youtube page? The Youtube page is from Chaos Group.

yeah, i'm aware of these links, i'm asking for the pdf tutorials that you've posted. on vray manual query you said this

V-ray really is not a simple rendering engine. I would say that if you can get through the PDFs I posted and all the YouTube videos that Chaos has posted, you will be in good shape. There is still a lot more to learn after that though. It's really just the tip of the iceberg. CG School has some pay videos which really explain the engine in detail. If you are looking for simple, I would suggest one of the less complicated engines such as Podium or Light Up.

Seriously? Was this a deliberate copy and modernization?

what the hell man..haven't u seen the movie ? its obviously serious inspiration of non jen song. .the song they used for kicks, when it slows down, you get inception sound score

does anyone one know about development or launch of sketchup 9?

First, exploding a group or component by itself won't explode the curves that are in it. Exploding a group or component sinply removes the "wrapper" around the geometry. Second, why do you need to explode the molding profile group? Why not just open it for editing and do what you need to do to it?

since i wanna put it on a parapet thats out of the group, so i explode it and make it follow the profile of the parapet curve

im getting obsessed with images so delicious and mmmmm cool and sexxxy , just wanna a see a video how this spectacular model was made. this is my dream workspace now...

anyway where r the rest of the entries for this competition?

im trying to render a louvered window in sketchup. the glass is coming as pathetic. i edited the sketchup blue translucent material to reflective [fresnel]. the effect isnt coming as that of a glass. what is wrong?

Which box?

... "Close Curve"?

..

yes

Uncomment ( Add # to the beginning of the line ) the line that starts with ents[-1].find_faces ...

I've done this mod myself. Also some other that speeds up it's processing.

wow!! and if i don't want the box when we activate the command that asks a question ?? what should i do?

while working on mouldings, i usually weld the profile of the moulding, . the profile is in a group. but on exploding the group to get a face, the curves also get exploded, hence i have to reweld the moulding profile all together again. is there a way to explode profile nicely without exploding the curve?

I never want to find faces while using weld. i just want to weld to edges. so i really don't need a dialog box to confirm what i want to do. is there any edit that i can make to the plugin. ? I dont know ruby hehe

Is there any plugin to match two faces orientation [by rotating a face]. so that they become coplanar?

I want to rotate the moulding profile to match the wall orientation for proceeding 2 follow me command

you must have got a super workaround for this. you're plugin wizard indeed and you really got huge number of posts to your credit

i'm modelling a small building entirely in sketchup. i performed cleanup a number of times [via plugin].. after modeling for a long time i noticed that many faces in my model have been triangulated for no reason. there are also curved moulding in my model. what happened ? iv been using this software for years but haven't encountered this mysterious triangulation. the entire modelling was done in sketchup. i only imported 2d autocad files as dwg rest all 3d work was done in sketchup only. check the image

does anyone have the link of pdf tutorials on vray valerostudio has posted?

well i didnt delete those files..just deleted ttlib and ttlib2 folders, reinstalled from the net and cleanup is working fine now
