I just discovered the extension and it worked Thanks guys:) For others if they have the same problem here is the link: https://extensions.sketchup.com/nl/content/eneroth-open-newer-version

Just did a watercolour render [image: Rnyd_FotoSketcher.jpg]

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..... [image: fsve_KitchenChallenge_Scene3Bpp-Edit.jpg]

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

@donnewtype said: 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.

If the text is all different components, you could use Subtract from either the native Solid Tools or better, Eneroth Solid Tools or you could create the text without extrusion and without fill. Place the components where you need them on the face.... [image: kRge_Screenshot-3_7_20197_48_35AM.png] ...and explode the text components. Then use Push/Pull to pull up the face surrounding the text leaving the text itself recessed. You would need to also hit inside the closed letters and numbers although you could use Joint Push/Pull if you wanted. [image: BBSE_Screenshot-3_7_20197_51_11AM.png]

@rogalxxx said: my try with su and fotosketcher. As a vray 3.6 user I got screwed by chaosgrop and now I can use my old su18 with vray or my new 2019 without it. I have a subscription plan until dec 2020. Can't really sell my 3.6 without paying for license transfer fee which is 100E. Either way, I'm ditching vray. Clients don't really appreciate the photorealism and the amount of work put into it. So I'm sticking with su+fotosketcher for now and starting experiment with blender, Hi hows the experimentation with blender going? I have exported a sketchup model (Colada.Dae into blender, worked perfectly including textures, nice! was feeling good........then thought I would give Evee a go............tumbleweed...............watched youtube tutorials........tumbleweed...... Was designed for smarter heads than mine I think. Could you perhaps give me a link to the tree you used in your drawing? They were what I was looking for. Oh for what it is worth, I found that putting in false construction lines and mixing in the "Fineliner pen" style made it look a lot more "sketchy" Cheers

I think what would have made it even more interesting, is , if apart from the altitude and speed monitor,s Elon's and the Senior Engineers heart rate and blood pressure telemetry were also broadcast in real time;)

Or use the eraser while holding shift to hide edges or ctrl to soften edges.

Cool! Good info.

Cheers, thanks Tuna

Thanks Tig I will give that a go

I guess this never happened.

You might find Tig's Workplane useful. https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=WorkPlane

@Liam Just for show that any image can be reloaded in Magica for explore infinite worlds of forms and colors! So above with an image created by DesignSpark 2 posts previous!

I remember that! Excellent.
