Great form factor!

One quick hunch could be that you must install the MS Visual C++ redistributable. http://www.boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/faq.php

Disposto a testar o renderizador

Hey franthesco,

Thanks for reaching out. My Spanish is not great; I would say even non-existing. So I'm looking for testers that can provide feedback in English.

Cheers,
Thomas

@dinesh21 said:

I am willing to try

Hey Dinesh21,

Thanks for your interest! From your profile I see you don't have a SketchUp pro licence, the software I'm building works only for pro.

Cheers,
Thomas

I'm currently trying to level my design skills up as a hobby so I can eventually use them for a future design career. I have a light background with computers/coding and 3d design. I would love to help test your creations out!

Have a good one!

Hey 80Three,

Thanks for your interest. I’m looking for a wide variety of experience so happy to have you as a tester as well!

Cheers,
Thomas

Hey folks,

Just an update to tell you that there won’t be an update this week. Moving across the world this week, and my development rig is somewhere halfway. I am typing this on my phone. I appreciate the interest and look forward to squashing bugs with all of you very soon.

Cheers,
Thomas

I'd be happy to test out a new render engine! Am currently using Vray and Twinmotion for Sketchup for both personal and work. It would be nice to have a true inhouse rendering system.

Hey there,

Thanks for your interest; I will put you on our list and contact you when we start testing. The aim is to have great integration with SketchUp, as good as the API allows us.

What do you think can be improved in the Vray or Twinmotion workflows?

Cheers,
Thomas

Hey folks,

I created a short preview video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrEvEthBAvE - It's still early development software, so please set expectations accordingly!

Cheers,
Thomas

Good day Sir,
Please consider me as one of the beta tester of your new render engine for sketchup, I'm a Sketchup user since Sketchup 6 and I use many render engines like Twilight render , SUPodium , IDX rendetioner , Vray , Raylectron, Renderin , POV ray I use sketchup for my hobby & my project , I'm looking forward for your new render engine to try & test it.

Hey mamars,

Looks like you got some experience there! Love to have you as a tester.

Cheers,
Thomas

Hi there,

would love to take your software for a spin (or two, or more...). Architect here, been using Thea and Raylectron, currently D5 and always on the lookout for something better.
I'm using Sketchup on PC, if it matters.

Cheers,
Radu

Hey Radu,

Nice to meet you. Happy to have you on board as a tester.

Cheers,
Thomas

@cnydww said:

I'll give it a go if you need. Been using sketchup personally and professionally since just before google acquired it.

Thanks for your interest! Happy to have you onboard.

Cheers,
Thomas

Hello,

I will be happy to beta test this new render engine.

I have lots of experience with Sketchup, V-ray and Skatter. I've also used other render engines in the past.

I mostly work on mid to large scale public buildings.

Kind greetings,

Michael

Hey Michael,

Thanks for the interest, I put you on our list and will reach out. Targeting early July.

Cheers,
Thomas

Hi there, I'd love to beta test your render engine. Note that I do not have a lot of experience having only used one plugin for sketchup in the past. I do work in software engineering and appreciate how useful good feedback can be. I am designing an old stone cottage renovation and extension with my partner and would be using that model to test with. Cheers!

Hey Jesse,

Happy to have you on board as a tester. Will put you on the list!

Cheers,
Thomas

Nice work, thanks for sharing!

@grampakevin said:

I would love to be a beta tester for you. I run sketchup on both Mac and PC and have tried rendering engines galore, but am looking for something less resource intensive

Hey grampakevin,

Thanks for your interest! Can you define resource intensive? I assume you mean it works on less capable hardware, instead of $$ resources?

Cheers,
Thomas

@jonhoffman said:

Very much interested.

Hey John,

Great to have you onboard! What engines have you used before?

Cheers,
Thomas

@vello said:

Hey Vello,

Thanks for your interest. I'm putting you on our list and will be reaching out in a couple of weeks.
