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.

@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

Having some fun with Rayscaper

Stay safe @majid

SUbD fun with furniture

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.

Logged out and logged back in again... still can't edit or delete my posts...

I had a look yesterday and again just now. Based on what I see you should be able to edit and/or delete posts.

The only way I could actually test it would be to log into your account. That's not something I want to do without consent.

So it's a mystery why at the moment you can't edit.

Hello, I purchased software under my personal account. Can I use it on a company computer for commercial use?

Yes, you can use extensions on other devices and manage seats at https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php

It doesn't work for me

If there are errors in the Ruby Console you should post those to help Fredo determine the cause.

I presume you have an updated LibFredo installed.

@Haikal151

Install Sketchucation Tools: https://sketchucation.com/plugin/696-sketchucationtools

Restart SketchUp after installation and activate license.

There is always room for more tools. The video doesn't really show much other than some procedural generation results with some topo lines.

I think from an artistic point of view a procedural surface generator has value. Especially if it has World Machine type features. Not sure how nice SketchUp would play with your tool. To get high resolution detail in a terrain mesh may bottleneck SketchUp.

Can your tool run Runoff/Flow Paths on existing real world terrain imports? If it does and it can preserve material UVs on meshes you would have a very useful tool.

So someone in the Landscape Evolution space could run some type of preliminary simulation to show wind/rain/water erosion over time.

Regardless, it costs you nothing to put your body of work out into ecosystem and see how it goes. Feedback is the best judge and it looks like you already have viable tool.

Welcome!

Based on the video it looks like this is already possible with existing extensions. Math based surface generation is possible with extensions like Raylectron Tools.

TIG also has a Contour Maker extension that works a treat.

For more bespoke surface generation based on height maps there's Thomthom's Bitmap to Height.

Looks interesting though.

Keep fighting the good fight Mike
