@rich o brien said: Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler for Linux, MacOS and Windows https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl You can find the relevent installer for you OS here... https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl/releases/tag/v1.2.0 For photo upscaling it does a good job considering... [image: SG6zNZ0.png] It can wash away detail somewhat but if you're in a pickle and need a quick render upscaled this is useful. I need crypto platform.

Cool, can never have enough sources for this info ! Thanks Rich.

Thanks for sharing this Rich. It really looks interesting. Wish my laptop had not died so I could this one a go.

Nice. Simple yet effective model!

For sure. Epic is investing and acquiring all the right tech and content to rival Adobe in the design space. Worth also mentioning https://www.o3de.org/ which is an Open Source game engine based off Crysis Engine. Be interested to see if any clever developers use this to front end realtime rendering for ArchViz arena.

I had to ditch a LOT of older CAD stuff to make way but I finally got UE5 installed. It looks extremely powerful considering the price point and there is a definite effect to be felt in the industry when the dust settles but that has been asked before so maybe little will change. Habit rules us as much as anything else.

Very kind words from you all. Its mostly primitive shapes. Vertex Tools and SUbD do the heavy lifting. What I found interesting was delving into Blender's EEVEE engine. DAE export from SketchUp and some quick PBR materials and 3secs later you get a render. I would love a standalone EEVEE engine for SketchUp. That would be bananas!

@RedRover72 Every update major update to SketchUp breaks it so its becomes tiresome to make it backwards and current compatible. We'll see what SketchUp 2024 does before considering looking at it.

Nice model, need(?) to add fillet at cylinder intersection

I often find myself in this situation when my partner is away for a few days. Then when she comes home she tries to kill me.

Scooped it up early this morning. Took it for a short spin and it works great. Some new things to learn but the basics for grass are still there. More robust and faster. A lot of people were looking forward to this update. Thanks.

Have you turned off Allow Checking for updates in Preferences/General perhaps?

Cool but only for Pro! Ventre-saint-gris! (swearword between feasting and drunkenness)

Err, thanks for not sending an e-mail to all your licensed users that there was an update released...

Yes very cool ! Love it when a little something is left to the imagination.

Simple clean and great

Very cool, icy in fact.

Great model mate.

I'm aware of the full BricsCAD workflow... that's part of the interest.
