      I love the Polyhaven integration to just drag drop HDRIs to switch up the lighting.

      @L-i-am

      Would be nice if AI tackled real world problems rather than disrupting markets that create employment.

    • RE: Game Assets

      I've never seen or tasted Twinkies and for obvious reasons they couldn't have a brand name in the game.

      Nor do I know what this even does in the game. But it was a fun challenge. The texture did all the work.

    • RE: Cannot customize the toolbar(s) (2026.2)

      Are you on Mac or Windows?

      You can't drag tools off Large Toolset on Windows and build a custom Toolbar.

    • RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation

      @dduschenes said:

      HI there, I purchased a license for RoundCorner, but whenever I try to activate it, it doesn´t show in the licenses files box - as if I didn´t have it. How should I proceed?

      You are probably running outdated extensions.

      Please run the Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support menu command in SketchUp and copy/paste the output into your reply.

      @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich, I am hoping that I can do some modelling for the Aviation museum. They even have a genuine spitfire. If memory serve me well you were an Aviation Engineer

      Indeed I was. Specialised in Sheet Metal, Welding and Composites. Ended up as a Technical Trainer before redundancy happened.

      I'd love to poke around those planes in the pic. Especially the Lancaster Bomber! Would love to squeeze into the front gunner spot.

      You deserve every benefit you have. It's not luck it's recognition for years of duty.

      Hope we have you around for many years to come. Enjoy the new pad!

    • RE: Online watercolor workshops! Join me!

      I'd say you are better off putting this out on watercolor subreddits or something similar.

      I'd love to learn to paint but I wouldn't have the time 😞

      Just tried. Easy to use. I like the Styles.

      Input:

      Output:
      Scene_1_2026-06-29T13-40-27-413Z.png

      Clever tool. Definitely has a SketchUp vibe to it. Much better than the vanilla AI render in SketchUp.

    • RE: Main site is down - MySQL Connection Error

      Amazon had outages late Saturday night which resulted in some services going down on our end.

      We rectified it Sunday and are monitoring uptime.
