    • RE: 0.skb, 1.skb, 2.skb files.....

      Do most of you guys use the automatic backup settings or do you shut them off.

      I personally have shut it off since day one. I already save to much as it is. Have to save every time before I use most plugins because they make sketchup crash some times.

    • RE: FREE Maxwell Render for Sketchup (free version).

      @jason_maranto said:

      There is a library I've created/updated for the RAL color system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAL_(color_space_system)

      It contains 2014 MXM materials -- There are 11 categories:

      1. Anodized Aluminum1. Car Paint1. Diffuse1. Glass1. Glossy Metallic Plastic1. Painted Wall1. Satin1. Shiny Plastic1. SSS Plastic1. Tiles1. Velvet

      Each category contains the same 183 colors.

      These MXM files should be unzipped to reside in the following folder on your system (create this folder structure if it does not already exist):
      C:\Program Files\Next Limit\Maxwell 2\materials database\mxm files\RAL Libraries* category name*

      My bandwidth is limited so please only download these if you will use them.

      Here is a dropbox link for the MXM files:
      http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41250852/RAL%20Libraries.zip

      I have also created the SketchUp Material Libraries that are linked to these MXM's so you can simply apply the SketchUp materials as you would any normal SketchUp Material and it will automatically render as the matching MXM. These should be installed into your Sketchup Materials folder as per normal.

      Here is the dropbox link for the SketchUp material files:
      http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41250852/Maxwell%20RAL%20Libraries.zip

      I hope this will help the new users get going with Maxwell for SketchUp more quickly.

      Best,
      Jason.

      Thank you so much for the great tutorial Jason. I just download the free plugin last night and have been watching your tuts. I tried rendering a couple of years ago on kerkythea with no luck. Looking forward to this.

      I have a question about the MXM that you posted above(thank you for posting these material for use newbies).I have downloaded them and dropped the materials into the materials folder in sketchup.Do these materials need to be linked to the specific path to the MXM's? I am on a Mac and not sure where to put the MXM_diffuse_RAL folder?

      Cheers

      Steve

    • RE: Northern Alberta Institute of Technology

      Well I am in BC (British Columbia) Which is the province next to Alberta. And I can say I haven't noticed any new people from Alberta. I have heard good things about the school and welcome to them when I see them. Alberta is probably the only booming economy in North America right now. Wonder what they are using sketchup to design?

      Great little web site you got there.

      I to am interested it the manufacturing process. I am assuming that you CNC every thing you can and the build what you can in the shop and then take it to be installed.

      Looking forward to the pictures of the shop and install.

      Cheers

    • RE: JPEGmini

      Is this in all versions of Photoshop?

      I always save at 10 for the final pix. I do some compressing when I may post something to the web. I will keep this in mind next time I do.

      What kinda medal do I get????

    • RE: My bike

      The fork looks like it has 16" of travel which makes the front end way to high. Are they 24" wheels.

      I am liking the last image with the fade out from rendered to model.

      Interesting design with the extra chain ring and dual rear shocks.

    • RE: Geodesic Gear Sphere

      Nicely done. Color me impressed.

      How do all the axles come together in the middle?

      Where does the drive motor fit in?

      So no sketchy physics plugin was used?

    • RE: Containing famine

      Great looking model and concept. Have you done the electrical consumption estimates? I dont think solar power would provide enough power to run such a system. All of the containers around here that have things growing in them use diesel gen sets.

      Krisidious what kind of floor layout do you envision for the containers standing on there ends in your model?

      Cheers
