OK, my first response to you is probably not what you are looking for but bear with me.
ArchyBase – Free AI Rendering for SketchUp: Sketch to Render, Interior & Exterior as a headline, an attention grabber, becomes "Free to TRY".
Using the term free render and then changing it to free trial is a turn off. Personally I would not touch it with a barge board after that start.
Have a good day out there but do try harder.
Very nicely done, something of an epic going by looks alone.
I believe I know how you feel. Personally speaking, I find change these days difficult to cope with.
One of the reasons I struggle post Twilight render. I reckon age has a lot to do with this, being just the right side of 70.
However, thoughts of inadequacy etc must be resisted much like the negative impacts the average day produces. Giving up is never an answer and never will be, your renders and words of encouragement are something I am not letting go of regardless, keep on keeping on and carpe diem. It makes something and as long as that is not yeast extract and garlic flavoured custard, we are doing OK.
Sod tomorrow, TODAY is a new day, grab it firmly.
I must admit I have acquired a couple of blender books for learning V5, lots of add on's and what looks from the outside to be a deep talent. Yep, not managed it so far but this time taking it more seriously. Still going to hammer on the Sketchup nail though.
Have you thought about Rayscaper?
Another site with learning tools for those who wish to.

These stories tend to reignite my belief in people. With all the stuff on the news it is easy to see young folk as trouble makers etc. A bit of positive affirmation does the world good. I hope both those boys can get over the trauma and move on to better things.
In a world where Buddhist 'holy men' have declared the murder of Muslims to be right and so called Christians advocating the murder of doctors for doing things that are legal but not in their book et al. How can any of us declare Islam to be worse or better than othe faiths?
There will always be those humans who take the name of a faith, who declare they do the "Work of god" etc. What we need rid of is extremism.
I don't care what or who folk are as I gave up rationalising any of it. Decency to those around us is what is important.
We had a saying when I was a child, "Stretch it, don't tear it". There is another way of putting it which is more succinct, "Could not scratch their behinds without tearing it/bleeding".
Also, thinking of how 'men' of faith are. The inquisition? The Crusades? All nations and faiths go through the same situations where they act reprehensibly so, get rid of extremism and try to understand each other. putin, thinks he is a christian FE.
I hope you all have a great 2026, you and yours and thanks to the Sketchucation team for putting up with ALL of us. Yes, I have dropped the ball too so, sorry about that folks.
Like Rich said, getting noisy out there so hope you and yours remain somewhere quiet.
AI, seemingly designed to ruin just about everything. Even Star Trek folks.
Inspirational, I might do that when I grow up a few yonks down the line....
^ in spades, a keen eye and great mind leads to better results every time.
Stay well out there, Majid. Thoughts with you and your family as well as your compatriots.
Thanks for the tip/reminder.
I have not been able to replicate the effect yet.
Keep that head up Majid, you and yours. Tomorrow is another day and not Tuesday either.....
I have to admit to recognising myself in this more than a few times.......
Honestly? Our knowledge of and exposure to situations in other nations is mostly fed by media and so called 'influencers' (Who frankly should not be considered more knowledgeable than the average goldfish).
From my standpoint I can only go by what I have seen and experienced. More and more so called refugee's who frankly are only here due to incompetence in government and profiteering by the gangs for profit.
Italy is a point of entry into the eu, they shuffle them all the way to the channel and we kop them.
In the end it did for Merkel in Germany.
I do not hate these folk who are drip fed lies about the situation in the UK etc. I would like the situation changed to "How can the situation in poorer countries and those led by ultra nationalists or dictators be changed so they are safe in their own homes"?
Why risk life and limb crossing the channel in makeshift rafts and hoping?
We can do better, be better but it will take more thought than I have seen so far.
Have a great day folks, be kind to yourself and each other.
