@rich o brien said: What is it you want the extra power for? Rendering? How would you cool it? Will your PSU be capable of running dual GPUs? I would favour a single 3000 series over dual 1080s. RTX and Ampere architecture is fast compared to Turing. I moved from 970 series and 2070 series 2 years ago and the difference was massive in terms of rendering speeds. The newer 3000 series cards are beasts compared to 2000 series cards. Userbenchmarks has the 3060 TI as the best ROI https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/ I'm no GPU nerd though. But dual 1080s for me would mean more headaches in terms of power consumption and heat management. Thanks Rich, and all good points. Botom line is I would want to render with twinmotion to get a bit of a buffer. But just found out that Twinmotion would not support rwin GPU's anyway. So I will hold out until the technology matures and crypto minning is less profitable if it ever does

Excellent!

It just comes with a subscription of Vray.

@tuna1957 said: Sorry L I am , I hit the stupid “thumbs down” by mistake on your last post. I hate these damn touch screens . Back to the point… its a wonderful image. What I wonder about on these top of the line images is just how much post pro they put into them. Would love to see a “straight” out of the render engine and then the final image after post work. Fair point mate, I requested an SU shot and a pre post production render of the author on the facebook page but he did not seem willing to do so. No reply The workflow was quoted as "Workflow: SketchUp, Twinmotion 2022.1 (Skydome & PT on) Post-processing: Lightroom. This might be worth a watch (Lighroom for 3D renders) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdnVpuhnRWw Really good post production photoshop vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whm0kDw7lus

Here is an image off the corrugated steel roof. It did my head in [image: EEY7_Metalroofcor.jpg]

Hi pbacot. It is a real house already built only 10 months ago I have a pic of it and got hold of the floorplan and everything is correct to scale. Yes it has "borrowed" from West Australian Victorian Architecture. [i]"I don't understand the comments on the stone pillars. Pretty easy to adjust what texture is showing, to avoid the repeat (but the components for the faces have to be unique from each other)."[/i] That is not true with twinmotion, if you move the texture they all move in unison. Unless you know a way. Only way I know is to rename them individually

@solo said: Look at the scene, decide on a season, you have spring leaves on one tree and fall leaves on the floor, Who has lights on in the daytime? Otherwise, you are definitely improving with every render. Hi Solo, thanks, I know what you mean about the leaves but I am in Western Australia. We have no native deciduous Trees at all. It is for the local market and we have trees that loose leaves all year round, especially when the weather starts getting very hot in spring and early summer in a Mediterranean climate. As far as the interior lights, I am trying to (and possibly failing) to emulate the "golden hour" that is a photo taken at dusk and slightly over exposed using both artificial and natural light together (The golden hour is a window of about 15mins actually) This is pretty much standard for my locality and the interior lights were on purpose. If you google "western Australian project home renders" you will see what I am trying to do. Not nailed it yet though.........but I eventually will

Gut!

That looks interesting. I have a few things to get further with but I reckon I'll have a go. Thanks for posting this, it will grease the cogs for a while.

@l i am said: @ntxdave said: How about designing a modernized workshop for Santa and his team. Ho Ho Ho! ….a room of 3d printers and robotics with very geeky very clever high tech Elves soldering, programming etc. Perhaps the presents are now, in this age, delivered by a space time delivery…. Think you are right on. That send visions dancing through you head!

Nice to know Rich, cheers

You aren't actually referring to copying with the Move tool are you? Perhaps holding Ctrl after getting the Move tool? If so, don't hold it. Only tap Ctrl once after Selecting the Move tool. See the [url=Also look at the Release Notes to see what else is new.

Thank jga, very much appreciated

As Box indicated, that's LayOut. It's pretty clearly called out in the link. Weld would be the option in SketchUp. In SU 2021, select the edges you want to join, right click on them and choose Weld Edges. Or set up a keyboard shortcut for it.

Thanks for the help

I thought either yourself or Dave R would answer....geneous....thank you

@duanekemp said: Nice job. This is an encouragement for those, like myself, who haven't tried TM yet, to give it a go around the block. Thanks, not sure if Twinmotion is free any more though. If it is please get back on that

Wow! Very nice!

Thanks for sharing. Some pretty neat stuff.
