An exterior view of this small home in a hdri.

I think the tile choice HAS mad a difference. Not a true comparison seeing as this render went to 1000 samples and used the GPU for rendering.

Still no artificial light but the lighter tile bounces rays more effectively.

@Mike-Amos

I think a less ;busy' tile texture will work better on this machine and there is no artificial lighting in that render.

Native Sketchup lighting only.

@Gus-R

In school, we used to do similar with cut up baked bean tins and styrene (I think) washers.

Did the job well enough.

The washers are pretty durable and come in lots of sizes.

A little stability at the moment. Not sorted yet but moving forwards.

@Rich-O-Brien

Reminds me of the NPR renders of a member from some time ago. They were special too.

These renders always make me smile.

@Rich-O-Brien

Top notch.

@Gus-R

Perfect.

@Tru-la-la

Nail, head.

@Tru-la-la

Cracking piece, love it so much I LMAO.

Superb.

@Gus-R

I like this one more, perhaps I am in an arctic sterile mood or require new batteries for my brain.

I meant no offence with the first comment. Just the first thing that came to me.

@Gus-R

I like it but sterile.

@Gus-R

Rich is correct, fantastic model, and renders.

@Gus-R

Quite the eco house, water recycling even.

Impressed is not enough.

Love it, want one.

When can I move in?

Bluddy idylic mate.

I can only agree, you are on a proper roll with this series, not cheese and ham either.

Cap doffed.

@ntxdave

I think the only mode open to US older gits, apart from checking the store app, is writing on our own foreheads a short reminder to do so.

I have tried the other ways I know of and frankly I am a lost cause. I keep forgetting what they mean (String around the finger etc)..........

@pixelcruncher

I just check the Sketchucation store, any updates are readily apparent and it is faster when working within Sketchup.

@Rich-O-Brien

Weird, this suggests an error on the E drive which the other scanning programs report as healthy.

@fredo6

I am looking to completely remove lord of the toolbars, not going so well, any tips?
