The first is a vibe.

All of them are yummy.

I think I'll buy you a lawnmower

Did you try looking into the Indie game scene. So many out there looking for 3D modellers to get in at ground level to help them populate worlds with assets.

I know its not your usual stuff but might be an option?

Work With Indies - Make Games, Together

Work With Indies is a job board and a community for artists, designers, developers, and more, to find their next role working in indie games.

Lovely.....cut the grass Gus! Hope your new pad is going well!

Critique is good. It pushes someone to raise their level. For me, the feedback of 'awful' or 'bad' can be construed as a rude comment.

Gus' stuff may not be your flavour of the month. But I think critique, even when negative, should be delivered with at least a level of class.

@Rich-O-Brien could you kindly point where exactly the insult happened? BTW have you seen what topic starter posted here and later deleted?

No probs....

I see Gus' stuff too. TBH, I don't want to police internet beefs.

I just want to be the oil on the water.

Hope he found peace and happiness wherever he is.

Always liked his Indigo renders of unique imagery.

Fredo Portrait allows you to control orientation of a camera but not world position.

SketchUp's native Position Camera tool allows you to place a camera at a location then set it's height. If you then switch to Zoom tool and hold SHIFT you set the FOV.

I use a mix of those 3 to create cameras

could chatgpt automatically turn a 32 bit .rb source into 64 bit?

I asked it how to lose weight and it beat me up and took my shoes

@nlipovac Nice result.

Rayscaper has such potential. Its fast and feature rich already.

@Box

That's UV projection.

Select the face in SketchUp, right click and check if its set to Projected.

@L-i-am I tried that a few weeks ago. Its rather hard to get to grips with and feels last-gen in terms of output.

Huge levels of customisation available and a really clever LOD switch.

@HornOxx can you describe what it is you want to do?

@onzki You can also use @alsomar Old Save extension

Save your file in legacy SketchUp formats. Please note that if you save in older versions of SketchUp, the organization of tags into folders and other features implemented in later versions will be lost.

@L-i-am Its got a real car advert vibe going on. Very clean

I find the AO style looks more dirty than AO. Its like a cavity map mixed with AO. Not your scene just in general.

Looks great for exterior stuff but object filled interiors looks a bit grimy.

Nice to see them gives Styles some attention though. I always felt that StyleBuilder was really an opportunity for SketchUp to have a companion app that allowed us to do NPR rendering etc.

Your scene is nice though.

@L-i-am Only free Painter like tool I know of is ArmorPaint

ArmorPaint | 3D PBR Texture Painting

ArmorPaint is a software designed for physically-based texture painting.

But getting something of the calibre of Painter for free is unlikely. If you purchase Substance Painter through Steam you circumvent the Adobe subscription model.

Substance 3D Painter 2024 on Steam

Adobe Substance 3D Painter is the reference texturing app for 3D professionals and enthusiasts. From AAA Game Developers to Indies, from Feature Animation to Visual Effects studios, the industry uses Painter to bring their creations to life.

@HornOxx The reason I ask is because I use a AutoHotkey Window Resizer to resize SketchUp so the my viewport is a particular ratio. It takes a little bit of setup but saves me from guesswork.

As an example if I hit CTRL+F10 it resizes SketchUp so its viewport is 600px x 600px. Now I can export 1:1 image ratio at whatever resolution I need.

Its a bit hacky but I've used it for years.

@leminilab I think its a solution to a very unique problem. SketchUp has its own sorting in the tray using up and down. So it takes a few clicks.

@L-i-am Clean as in 'nicely assembled'. Sometimes you see renders and they look like a cookie cutter particle systems.

This has nice variation in the vegetation that feels natural. The whole setting looks right.

Would be interesting to see without trees to see if it impacts composition. But that's just my own curiosity.
