Yep, damn shame. The first international language version will be launched shortly. from the horses mouth.

Thank you

Cheers Dave, will try your sugestion this afternoon, and will report back. However when you mentioned which version I was using I realised I had seen the message before. The model was created in 2018 or 2019 Pro (At work) and that messge had cropped up there as well. I cant remember how it resolved 😕

Thanks mate great video and so much funcionality in the program:thumb: The program does have its fair share of issues though, mostly around the user interface. I have been playing around for about an hour trying to control DOF. I have someting about 1m from the camera to be in fucus and I want someting about 6m away to be in focus. one hour later I am no wiser. How about the user interface gives me a distance and an aperture size like most other renderers I have used 😕

Well I have finally got unreal engine to v4,23 but as yet the exporters will not install into sketchup at all. I have Twinmotion which is not a problem but the datasmith exporters will not. I have been trying the correct v4.23 exporters and they install to the pc just not sketchup.

Hey Mike did you try importing the SKP file into Twinmotion rather than the other way around than like exportingfrom sketchup? My bet is that will work.

Lost track of this thread. Have been crazy busy on another project. Thanks for the heads up Rv 👍 Will take a look at it at work tomorrow

Thanks mate will give that a go 👍

Clean! ☀

Liam,
Hope this helps. Plot style and Plotter are both set to none.
Drawing is metric (mm), with layouts in landscape and portrait formats.

Hi Jga, that is very generous thanks for taking the time. Worked perfectly 👍 👍

Make sure you are running 2019.2 at work.

Feed rate and cut depth are what is important. It they feed rate is slowed a smaller diameter is possible.

Tried a different view for this one. Surprised it rendered a fair bit faster than the first view I posted. Find these type of spaces ( narrow and long ) are a challenge for me to get a nice viewpoint.

"Outside View" was put in post pro. A lot of dancing about in post pro trying to get outside and inside to look right.These type of experiments give me great respect for others post pro abilities. Had issues with trying not to "blow out"the window trim while still brightening up the interior the desired amount....... Still not happy with the material on the appliances, tried a new texture and it didn't really work out as expected.....

As a matter of fact I am missing a cat since yesterday. Not in the least bit funny tbh.

Both images make me want to live in the house, but the second one seems more natural, late afternoon, early evening during the summer or maybe early September. Brilliant work though.

Thank you, I find it difficult to choose at the end, "forrest for the trees" syndrome. will try to use Criterion Architecture's suggestion about a more over exposed sky when I get a chance to see what that does for it 👍

Post processing can really make an image "pop" but when there are several images in a project it becomes a time sucker and can grind your workflow down and waste time, I feel i can model and set up my renders good enough to completely avoid post processing, allowing me more views at less time.
