great idea for a plugin. allthough I am not sure if that is possible with SketchUp allone. can SU cut a texture into square pieces on its own? I doubt that. I would love to be told otherwise though 😄

It is what I call niece modeling and rendering.
Congratulations!

bautiful rendering. would you mind if you can post the rendering time.

ps. thanks Fred - your stuff on here is by far the most interesting - keep it up. Except that leaf thing. hehehehehe.
