What is kitbashing?
Taking 3D assets and lumping them together to make something.
In this case it was some Quixel pieces, 4 in total to make a little scene.
Rayscaper actually did really well with the scene. Rendered fast and was fun to play around with. Looking forward to v1 
I agree @jscottsmith they read much clearer and are less distracting. Plus its much easier pump out revisions without having to sort UVs etc.
I still think Photoreal is needed but at conceptual design stage clay renders make the building detailing pop.
You don't open .scflicense files
Download the file to your device
Open SketchUp
Go to Tools > Fredo Collection > RoundCorner > License...
Click Activate and navigate to the location of the downloaded license file and click Open
It did a good job. Does it fit into the spec of the real world in terms of real world application?
Or is it just a fun side gig?
Midjourney has some new stuff that allows you to edit the generated image using infill to really nail the prompt. Even accepting real world images as a source.
Another thing you can do is the rename the .style to .zip and poke around to see the stroke styles.
Best way to deconstruct is to load a style into StyleBuilder to see what setting were used where.
@Gus-R Yeah, we even had you do a bit of an article back when we had the CatchUp magazine.
I always liked that model.

@Mike-Amos Nice. What's the renderer?
It's that SketchUp Diffusion AI tool
Use StyleBuilder to export the Template to generate to linework.
You can print the template or use an image editor to add linework to the boxes.
@Gus-R Lovely model and that interior is slowly becoming the most expensive room on the planet

TBH I'm quite happy to use the forum to give updates on the progress, if that's okay?
Not a problem. I hear you on that 3D Warehouse issue too. It's the wild west of copyright infringement and the sheriff hides his badge.
@pixelcruncher Just some cranky guy that makes very detailed models and yummy renders

The linework at top? Yes. It's "pen sketch."
It's really well executed. I always like NPR stuff.
Did you triangulate faces in SketchUp prior to exporting? It is best to triangulate the mesh in SketchUp to circumvent any potential UV/Material issues.
Don't use the triangulate feature in the export options. Triangulate the mesh using a plugin/extension and then export the triangulated mesh.
I would lean towards DAE or OBJ format because of the issues with FBX exports with SketchUp.
But if you are getting errors exporting from Blender to Unreal with materials then it would be an good idea to pay attention to how materials are assigned.
@pixelcruncher said in Piano with Rayscaper:
How do I share this file so others with RayScaper can test render times etc?
Extensions > RayScaper > Create Archive
Will that allow someone to open the SKP file and RayScaper will load the materials and HDR?
Thanks Majid. They are really fun tasks when you have various limits placed on you.
<1000 tris, 1k texture etc. It makes you really evaluate what needs geometry details versus texture
The fortifications were my fav to do...
What seems at face value a rather basic operation is actually a lot more complex potentially.
Rather than trying to executing a mass extrusion process do a sample extrusion to see what kind of geometry is output.
A planar n-gon with 6 entities will result in 22 entities when extruded. Imagine if those 740 groups have ~100 entities each then you are asking Sketchup to create ~300k entities.
SketchUp then has to consider other things like its inbuilt tolerance, are there curves etc....
This is not a simple as a simple extrusion if the geometry you are extruding is not efficient.
@Dave-R You'd struggle to get the same reflections that real geometry would produce.
But it's also kind of deflating to know you actually modelled the cable strands.
What people may have missed is that this pulley is needed to pick Dave's wallet up its so heavy!
It will be baked down. These are type of hero shots for the game UI.
They are using Unreal. Its their first game so its cool watching them develop and improve over time.
