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.

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

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

I am wondering is there any way to save the materials I make, locally?

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: A piece from my real job, not really sketchup related.
@Box Wow! That's amazing.
How do you price a job? Per m/sq
There's no fear your skill can be replaced by AI. Are you passing on the skill to an apprentice? We've a few people here still doing it here.
Our school, ran by the christian brotherhood, had Harry Clarke panels which were later auctioned off. But his work is still all over the country.
The caustics in the 3rd to last image is glorious. Thanks for sharing those. Mind blowingly good. Is the sketch yours too or is it someone elses concept?

RE: Twinmotion is free from late April
Epic makes such good acquisitions then immediately lowers prices. Reality Capture is free is you are under 1mil in revenue. It's safe to say that's the majority of the users.
The have repeated this price lowering for every acquisition. They'll be #1 player in visualisation eventually. I wouldn't be surprised if they launched a modelling environment at some point too.

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: An Old Bar Clamp
The lengths custodians go to to keep customers at the bar! At least you've less chance of falling over!
Really nice presentation. I'll keep saying, but when it comes to raw SU output, you lead the pack. Reminds me of the assembly drawings from old overhaul manuals we had in Lufthansa.
Only thing missing is big dirty paw marks!

RE: Oooops
@Rich-O-Brien Get off my lawn!
The right side bar's text is kind of small for my aging eyes. Can you make the font bigger?
We'll be tweaking as we go so expect improvements. As you can imagine migrating was a big challenge. Keeping historical stuff was important.
So poke around for a bit before piling on the requests

RE: RealityCapture will be free for "smaller" businesses
@numerobis its a great decision to get people into photogrammetry. Plus the app itself is easy to use and does a good job

@HornOxx said in How to get and activate a NEW SketchUp Pro:
but where do I get the software from? I can't find a download link anywhere.

@HornOxx said in How to get and activate a NEW SketchUp Pro:
Where can I get the licence key (or is there another way of activating)?
When you login at sketchup.com there's a dashboard area where all your entitlements are. So you can download .exe, manage devices and more....
@HornOxx said in How to get and activate a NEW SketchUp Pro:
How can I control that I get an English language version then?

Then scroll all the way to the bottom of the sketchup.com site and click the Do Not Sell My Info and submit the form so your data remains your commodity.
