Hello,

Just like the title says: Is there a proper plug-in to create racing helmets and to create also nice livery's/color theme's for the helmet ?

Nope, I'm not confused...

It's only that my computer or Kerkythea is struggling to install the new library's !

And because I've nothing to do now: Does anyone known a good carbon-fibre texture... ?

I've tried several textures from Google-images, but with every texture I use, I got tiles or I have to stretch it....but then the texture is to wide/big for realistic texturing my component.

Probably I'm posting in the wrong subforum, but it's al about the materials I can download at the download section of KerkyThea's own website.

There are several choises of materials and models, for me it's important how to use the materials. Where do I have to place the zip-files in the sub-folders to use the materials in Kerkythea it selfs ? Or is it also possible to use all the materials in SketchUp, without the loss of qualtity instead of using the materials in Kerkythea ?

I just found out to use imported materials in SU as Unique textures, but I'm not sure about the quality of KT-materials exporting them to SU or to use original SU materials ?

Hi,

Once model is imported in Kerkythea, go to view - adjust - solid rendering.
Have a nice rendering time!

That's the first thing I always do... But I think it's probably somewhere in the settings for the photography..the render is doing well, I do anything with reflections, soft shadows and more, but the photo is unsharp and I have a lot of noise, aspeccialy around the edges, most of the faces are smooth, but also there's noise.

I'm back round 2 O'clock, then will I place an example what I mean.

Hi guys,

I'm struggling with Kerkythea and the settings for the render. I tried a lot of possible solutions to get the noise away, but it's still there

How do I get sharp and clean renders, without the noise ? It's really unsharp now, Kerkythea is now busy with another setting, I will upload an image when he's finished.

Is there somewhere a good tutorial for the settings, to render photo-realistic ?

Í used to work with Twilight the last weeks, but the plug-in is a trail version and the Twilight-banners inside my render are to annoying to make it a good render.

*Sorry, my English is worse and need a couple of lessons (or I had to stay longer on this site and don't visit the Dutch SU forum anymore )

Hello all !

Is it possible to conrol a car in Sketchy Physics with gaming steering wheel ? It's a Logitech Driving Force GT, I use this wheel for the PS3, but it's also compatible with Windows/pc.

Wonde if sombody have's the answer ?

Hello guys !

I have a small but important question. There are many, many, many plug-in's and I wonder wich plug-in's are the best ?

Almost every plug-in at the Visual Index topic, I already knew. My favourite
plug-in is Shape Bender ! Together with Soapskin-bubble. But now i'm curious to more special and usefull plug-in's. You guys are modeling for years (?) and maybe it's a good idea to make a second version of the Visual Index ?

I want to do it for my own, but I think there are people around here with more experience and a faster mind to understand new plug-in's (how to use them properly..)

Or do I ask to much right now ?

I found out that the Sirion 2 originally sold as Toyota Passo. And on that subject I found this:

http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/toyota-passo-3d-model/433411

But this model is not free and it seems like this model is not that realistic..the rear lights are huuuge comparing with the real one.

Hey there,

I've an idea and I want to redraw a type of car, to show my idea to some people. But now there's a problem. I can't find the brand and model car I really want. Nor as Sketchup file, nor as other 3D model, like a .3ds file.

The car I searched for: Daihatsu Sirion 2:

Now I've tried to search and placed some blueprints of this car in SU, but I don't have the patience for this kind of work. And I don't have the right technicks to draw from a blueprint.

Is there somebody who can help me with the blueprint or do you know where I can find a 3D model of this car ?

Hey, my name is Meike and from The Netherlands.

I'm new here and before I buy something (SketchUp Pro), I want some information. I'm already used to work with SketchUp7 (free edition, or f.e.) but I think there's so much more to know and to discover with the full edition. But I also want to follow some classes to learn everything the right way, because sometimes I stuck in my work with roundings and measurements.

Some question's I have:

• Can I export my drawings in SU 7 Pro, so that visitors on my webside can view them, and control them, without using SU itself. ?
• I'm also looking for Cinema 4D. Is SU 7 Pro good enough to be a good choise, or is C4D better ?
• Whem I'm using Sketchup 7 (f.e.) SU looks like a sort of cartoon 3D programme. Is it possible to show my 3D work on a higher resolution, almost the same quality as a render? Or another way / style that you prefer where SU looks more like a solid 3D program like C4D ?

With these questions I want to end now. If you want to react with a private message: Be my guest

Hello TIG, I just downloaded that tool you've build.

Bud I can't work with it. Is there somewhere a good tutorial how to use the rails?
