    • RE: [Plugin] MaterialFinder6

      Why searching isn't native I don't know. But this is a huge timesaver.

      I don't even need to have them as libraries in SketchUp to search them now. I can just pull them in using this.

      My wishlist item would be thumbnails but its not a dealbreaker. Great tool as is. So fast too!

      Sounds like an overly strict policy. I'd ask the IT person to relax their policy.

    • RE: Reputation?

      @Mike-Amos said in Reputation?:

      I know I am a Philistine when it comes to this sort of thing but, what on earth is the 'reputation' thing about?

      It's to prevent new accounts from posting content that's blatantly off topic. Mainly mods will review posts and stop you seeing stuff that is spam.

      Members can also use it to upvote a particular post/reply as a way of saying something without saying anything.

      The actual reputation value a person has is not really relevant unless your are inclined that way.

      They way we use it is to place new account holders under certain restrictions until their peers see their contributions are useful and upvote them.

      Some use it others don't. Some get offended by downvotes and others don't. Some love getting upvoted others don't.

      It can be largely ignored or weaponised. I tend to upvote positive posts and replies in instances where I like the content but can't really add to it.

      TLDR : Its an anti spam measure

    • RE: Runaway train in the snow with the door and windows open!

      That's kinda nuts!

      Does D5 support motion blur? Seeing the background blur by would be yummy.

      I love that model.

    • RE: Payment Rejected

      The problem you are encountering is with the payment processors. That could be related to any number of issues outside of our control.

      Both PayPal and Stripe are well known and secure methods to accept payments online.

      PayPal are declining your card did you contact them?

    • RE: House Render Sketchup/TM

      @L-i-am The car tucked in is more appealing to me. You see more of the room to the right. Its a really nice composition.

      The 2nd image also feels less washed out than the others.

    • RE: SubD examples and models

      Thats really nice. Would love to play Tony Hawk's around that.

      Really appreciate the UDIM workflow. I thinks it something we need to have a think about implementing in WrapR

      @Gus-R said in House Render Sketchup/TM:

      @Rich-O-Brien I've tried putting in cars in a few renderings before and it's always "lose the car." Same thing with a gas meter I modelled.

      I find that cars either look too fake or they take too much attention. But when there's a hint of a car or its not front and center you don't pay as much attention.

      But its a personal thing really. If you like it leave it.

    • 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.

    • RE: The Larner

      Oozes cosiness. I like the camera angle of the 1st render and the worn path with scattered stones.

      Both are great though.

    • RE: RayScaper

      @pixelcruncher said in RayScaper:

      This was my thinking: have a context menu on the directional light that says sync with SketchUp sun position or have a tick box in the directional light config sync from Sketchup. Then, it would track it in real-time. Option two would be the logical path to quickly support sun animations for shadow studies.

      Both sound solid. I used 2 directional light in my Table Lamp scene. Having multiple Di-Lights for me is important to really match real world shadowing effects that a single light cannot achieve.

      As long a SketchUp Sun support doesn't impact the flexibility I'm happy to see it.

      My preference if lights is getting discussed would be Area Light support
