It is safe to assume John is rolling his eyes in the front cover picture because of something I said At least, that is the way it usually goes.

Bakescape didn't do a very clean uninstall

Thanks Eric for the tutorial...must try this out tomorrow when I get into work! antoine You bet. Thanks for the subject. Tried it out...I need to try it again a few times, major fail. One question - First step page 12 -rotate 90...should that be rotate 180? Indeed it is. Sorry for the mix up.

Woah! Vertigo. The walk mode is like walking down the street on a 50 ft pair of stilts while looking through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars, silvered on the inside.

@michaliszissiou said: @Rick I strongly recommend you to register to blenderartists.org if not done already. with some similar name, I guess, so to find you as a friend there. I also recommend you to learn the nodes set up system of cycles. An excellent UI with almost endless possible solutions. Very easy to handle it, after watching some basic setups. Blender isn't sketchUp. But, it does huge steps to this direction, day by day. On the other hand it's much more powerful on organic modeling. Blender isn't just another modeler, either. It's much more. A powerful app that is developing rapidly. And still, we can use SU for archi-modeling and export excellent obj files to blender. Textures and UVs included. Thanks to TIG http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=33448 You may need some other tools, we had a discussion here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=179&t=44345 I enjoyed the making of a snow scene. Though not for cycles*, still very enlightening on how to use weight painting. *can be done in cycles, masks (stencils) have to be handled as 'factors'. lol, learn cycles nodes! About shortcuts and inputs: Under user preferences, find them there, it's easier. Have a look how my setup looks.

@ecuadorian said: Did you render it with Cycles? No, just Blender render. The cycles part needs to be tweaked in system preferences and I daren't go in there @iichiversii said: That's great Rich, any link to tut? http://cgcookie.com/blender/category/tutorials/animation/

Here's the .skp showing the first half of the movement.... Hemispheres.skp If you haven't got Keyframe Animation then you'll see nothing. [flash=800,600:39utzvd4]http://www.youtube.com/v/gtbnEp61MNM[/flash:39utzvd4]

It's a very fast generator.

@john fwiw, andrea.bianco was the first to put up dropbox/sketchup syncing instruction at scf (that i'm aware of) http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=40866 .

Parabolic!

Very promising. It was long ago that last tried it, but since they now have a SketchUp plugin, I think I'll install it again! Apart from our good commercial renderers (Thea, Vue, etc.), it is an inestimable value to see another renderer accompanying Yafaray and PovRay that is Open Source.
