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: 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: 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: 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: 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: PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up)
@L-i-am said in PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up):
Diagnosed with prostate cancer 1 week ago (prob wont die of it, but with it fortunately)
Really sorry to hear about your recent health issues. Wish you the best in your fight and a full recovery too.
Leads, asbestos and now PFAs. Will science/engineering ever get to a point where we stop treating ourselves as test dummies?

RE: RayScaper
@pixelcruncher I hope its a toggleable feature. Having full control over sun position is important for artistic control.
Plus the ability to add more than one directional light is also important. So I would not like that support for SketchUp sun position removes that ability too.
Maybe a 4th light that represent SketchUp sun or if I right click a Di-Light I can set it to SketchUp position.

@Gus-R said in NEW Forum Software Issues:
@gullfo Rich, when can we start filling up the suggestion box? I only have two things.
Be gentle Gus. Its been a huge undertaking to get the old content into this newer system.
I'd love if users just poked around for a few days to see how it works and feels.
But if you see or experience a genuine system error or unusable feature let us know.
You can put them here as I subbed to this thread
