      Sorry folks, my sense of humour got the better of me and I know marketing types are getting a bit 'radical' with their concepts. How this will encourage folk into a paid version from the free I do not know but good luck to them. Marketing, a shorter way of saying, Obfuscation...... The company I bought my pc from earlier this year has on site repair, however, the contractor will do nothing unless I agree to them charging me a £250 software reinstall fee. There was no mention of this when I bought the pc so they can shove that where solar radiation is not an issue. Marketing.....

      Ta mate, a few issues with geometry cropping up but that is how the cooking goes. Another F1 this coming weekend so slow progress.

      you could open the SU program directory at: C;\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 202#\ and delete the sub-directories "\LayOut" and "\StyleBuilder". Don't be surprised if glitches may happen.

      Sharp. I like the offset units they would seem to be useful in numerous different purposes.

      Thanks Steve, inspired as always, by the models you posted here. I have an Jaguar XKSS in the works that is going a bit slower than I'd hoped but getting there.

      That turned out nice! I have that same HDRI and used it many times.

      @mike amos said: I would rwally like to get on with TM, slow getting there nut they changed the format for this year so I have to start again. Mate, if yoy have any tips I am sure they would be gratefully received. No vids for me please. just written tips are the order of the day. You will need a "RTX" graphics card with a minimum of 8 gigs of Vram and that Vram is only good for small scenes. Yo will also need at least 16 gigs of ram.

      Two types of sky portal, one where you see the hdri image and a second which just directs the light values for the hdri minus the image. I sometimes use clay as you describe, it depends on how the mood takes me. Right now my pain levels are on the high side so I tend more to the experimental side and this series is adding one elements at a time a little bit more extreme than I usually do. I have a LOT of time to kill. [image: 21Ez_EmitterTypesTwilight.jpg]

      High level on a far off planet, or perhaps a sub teranean living space with a daulight level illumiation screen beyond the 'windows'. Alien world, a bit Outer limits perhaps. The source of the bavkplate is, https://skybox.blockadelabs.com/4ed46d0bf5549ba215c9e3a5c506e3e6 [image: hird_StudentRezAlienSkies1910p55m.jpg]

      @mike amos said: TBH, I have little clue about TM, still using Twilight render. Still playing with the settings and for example, saved the image as HDR and EXR (In Twilight render) to see what was what. Much more depth of lighting info in these file types but frankly I am clueless as to how to manipulate the result. It would certainly add a lot of time to the render process as both are pretty grainy. Twilight. Oops. My bad. Sigh, this is why I'm taking a break. Between the weather and seasonal allergies, I am not firing on all cylinders.

      Nice, D5 Pro is $38 per month and the prize is $19 worth. They need to raise the bar to get any serious entries I'd say. Nothing entices me to try it out let alone write a review?

      It's good distraction from "&hit happens" which is a fair cop I suppose. Anything to put off a spell in a hotel with comfortable wallpaper.
