Wishing everyone from members to visitors a very Merry Christmas and prosperous new year

Little festive render to up the mood!

Some Rayscaper tests....

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

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

The guys over at Lightbeans had added Lightbeans to our ExtensionStore and site.

Lightbeans 3D Texture Library | SketchUcation

3D SketchUp Community for Design and Engineering Professionals.

(sketchucation.com)

I've been using there site for a few months and the textures are high quality. If you are doing ArchViz and need access to high quality render ready building products this is a must have!

Plus it's free! They also drop new materials every week and its all accessible directly in SketchUp.

Check it out if you're interested....

From this separate thread I ended have some play time with texturing...

Modelled using SUbD, UV unwrapped with WrapR and a quick render in Rayscaper

@pixelcruncher is hard at work crushing bugs and adding quality of life stuff for the next release....

Above was 5000 samples at 2k resolution on a 4080 card with no denoising in 14.5mins

AI rendering has its uses for ideation.

It reminds when rendering went mainstream. Every 2 months there was new engine.

I think there's still more to come with this but its still very flaky and low res.

If you change it does performance improve?

Vector looks great in the viewport but it’s not ideal to work with it.

@Conquer

Building Structure Tools 2.2.5 is available with the error about File.exists resolved.

2025, You might have a clash of some sort. Probably best to disable stuff and see if it resolves

@DoCelikkol

I can't reproduce your instant hard crash.

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

I did a video?

What is your Rendering mode? Raster, Vector or Hybrid?

It would entirely depend on how dense your cloth is as to why you may encounter freezing.

Might not be a device issue. Hard to say when there's no info and what it is you are trying to do. But if your cloth settings are beyond a reasonable density level then you will stress any device.

@Dam303 said in Open the extension store in sketchup:

I logged with credentials you provided and still facing the same issue.

OK, we will explore it more and see if we an find a root cause.

Thanks for testing.

If you need to revert to 4.4.1 it is below:
