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

RE: NEW Forum Software Issues
@Mike-Amos The current vibe is a skeleton which we will improve over time.
There's many aspects that I am not a fan of either. But the previous was too old and had many security issues we needed to constantly patch. This is huge improvement over that.
Once we get a handle on the current quirks we are seeing then we can start polishing.

So my Opel Combo rate must be low! Can I get my avatar in 1mx1m?
Really lovely work though. So unique and personal.

RE: Homebuild Hi-Fi.
That's great. It's like those old Dell business laptops but with a DAW and DJ Controller.
Did you model this? Or is it kitbashed? I want one!

RE: NEW Forum Software Issues
@panixia For PMs we will offer a solution to download them as CSV files
All the forums are still there but with the sheer volume of permissions we had it was easier to just set some general permissions here. We will restore fully once this bedding in period lapses.
That said we will be nuking subforums and merging forums for better clarity.
So far we are happy with the reception. We were expecting some frustrations but @rv1974 is not happy unless he is unhappy

RE: Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.
@Mike-Amos said in Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.:
wy selecting metal results in losing the ability to adjust colour as is the case with plastic etc.
Rayscaper exposes various shaders to the user to help create realistic and accurate materials.
Its Disney Shader is an Uber Shader that has a 'capture all' approach. But the dedicated Plastic and Metal shaders are for scenarios where you need to create a more physically correct material.
You can't colour metal in the traditional sense because other factors influence a metallic colour. In the next Rayscaper I believe he is including a physically correct Metal library
Metallic colouring is achieved by having correct IOR and Absorption values
Rather than doing the maths and twiddling the dials the next release should give you a base to build on.
But in this instance for your fridge I'd use the Disney shader with metallic at 1.0 and Roughness at 0.1 to 0.25

RE: I can't do anything with Sketchup web version
Displaying 3D geometry in a browser is different than manipulating geometry in a browser realtime.
A browser is not a dedicated app optimised to handle a specific 3D task like modelling or uv mapping etc.
A remedy would be to start with a file with untextured geometry. That would provide you with a performance baseline on how the web based version handles just geometry of a typical 'Liam' file.
If you see noticeable improvement then you could surmise that textures are impacting performance. Then make a pass on your textures to reduce their footprint and see if that improves performance.
But the short story is a web based app is not suited to a typical use case. Even though it accepts 100mb file upload sizes it is not guaranteeing you can work the file to same degree as the desktop app. Similar to how my TV remote has buttons with numbers but its not a calculator.
Horses for courses...

RE: Orgelf's works. second topic.
That 1st render has a really nice colour palette. I like the left to right gradient of blue to red.

RE: SOLVED: unread no longer showing unread posts
@gullfo said in SOLVED: unread no longer showing unread posts:
i didn't see anything obvious but i found my setting for "watching" was set to "not watching" and both the "watch" boxes were checked. so i reset it to "tracking" and unchecked the "watch" boxes, and it is now working.
not sure how those got set - must be something i did? either way, it's functional.
It could be us too because we can set stuff globally for all users. Mix that with some recent updates to the software we use it may have toggled things on/off?
lets just say we are both to blame

RE: [Plugin] SketchUcation Tools
@valerostudio said in [Plugin] SketchUcation Tools:
I think I also noticing that if I enable a plugin through the SketchUcation manager, close SketchUp and restart, SketchUp will hard crash the first time it starts up and loads that plugin. If I start SketchUp again, no problems and the plugin loads.
The more scenarios where it fails that are reported the better. Then we can try reproduce it our end.
We have 4.4.1 build where the disabling seems to be correct now. But I'll try these steps you've shared to see if it is resolved fully.
