      @L-i-am

      G'dayski,

      I obviously have my head stored somewhere dank etc. Yes I have considered Twinmotion and your earlier offer of assistance to get my grey cells involved.

      When I have sometime to move myself over and above current stuff (Neighbour 93 yo being hassled by doctors and care companies), I shall indeed beat your door down for knowledge.

    • RE: How Will AI Impact the Future of SketchUp Modeling?

      If ai can interrogate the model for errors and remove something like duplicated geometry on the fly, it will do a lot for our workflow while reducing a lot of the stress and memory bloat.

      The only area I can see to alter is the fire in the 'place. It is obviously a 2d graphic. If it is painted into a component, try adding several at different angle and see if a certain degree of 'normal' or bump can be added. I will see if it can be done with what I have. Twilight used to manage OK.

      Otherwise, you still rock.

      Agreed, highly impressive metalwork. Only needs a sailing dinghy to go on it......

      Just a thought here, for consideration. When you make and texture these models, you COULD set them up as card and paper models and sell them. This is not a get rich scheme b ut might make a few extra bucks and if you are building the model it may as well have a second life.........
      Flattery or equivalent.

    • RE: Kitchen/breakfast bar

      Thanks, yes, the infill lighting I had forgotten is present and accounted for. Essentially a large low power light source (A simple face lit by colour emmission setting) which can be angled however I need to depending on where I want it to focus. 2 watts and 5k temp. Something I started using with Twilight. All of the original textures which failed have been replaced and work as advertised.

    • RE: Kitchen/breakfast bar

      OK, I have a habit of adding an emitter 'face' which infills any missing light and helps considerably.

      Dealing with a new health issues (Diabetes secondary to Crohn's) which is complicating life's already complex harmony.

      One of the issues with reflection settings is, you cannot go lower than 0.

      I do not have a smart phone, it matches me for stoopid and I use it as a phone only.

      I am sure there are folk here with a Whyphone who can describe the process.

      I found this with a brief search.

      OK, with the replacement of mats, some issues have been resolved. I have lightened this image to demonstrate what I think it a problem/issue. The cabinet doors here have a texture to them they have not had selected by me. Is this part of the ai changes? If it is, I am not a fan.
