Excellent! Glad to hear that, Pete 👍

Thanks, I was using "quad" as search word.

I wonder why "real film" and not digital? They are both nothing but a medium, but I would think digital would be so much easier for editing and distribution.

Film [media] is still considered the 'art', and the quality far superior, the major disadvantages are actually the 'shoot' day logistics, matching stock, waiting for rushes and clearances...

the majority of british films I have worked on use both, digital for high speed and super high speed action, film for dialog and majestic images...

digital is catching up...

both are expensive to do well, but digital can be done on the 'cheap'...

I have friends working on this series of films and they say that security is the most extreme they have ever encountered...

I do special physical effects, and a lot of these can be enhanced with digital effects, but not economically replaced... [ yet ]

Coincidentally I posted a clay image on my blog today:

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BTWKBkuw1Lo/U4NVuL9QiWI/AAAAAAAABwE/mSKXSaNlMhk/s1600/Bathroom-clay2.jpg

(Rendered with IRender nXt using the Clay Rendering option)

The sketchy edges do not reflect in the mirror properly. We have another option to render edges which would handle reflections properly, but it only works with non-sketchy edges. If you want Sketchy edges - it is best not to include this obvious of a reflection.

Hi! I bought this today and it hasn't arrived, anyone had the same problem?

What hasn't arrived? Did you download it from the site? I would expect an e-mail with the license info but you should check your spam folder. If you didn't get an e-mail, you should contact them directly through their website.

Did you try it before sending money? From the website it appears this extension hasn't been updated for versions newer than SU2014. It might not work correctly in newer SketchUp versions.

^^ mind blowing? What's Byzantos? A Lumion third party developer?

He is a beta tester I believe, brilliant artist and has some content he gives away, very helpful guy.

Weirdly, when I stayed in rural France a good few years back Cannabis plants were widespread in the hedgerows.
It seems the local hippy commune had spent some weeks driving around throwing paper bags of soil and seeds into the roadside areas In order to give them an untraceable supply

Not that I would of course condone any such criminal behavior

Yes this works, I' running Mountain lion Mac book pro SU V8.

As I said before ESC does not deselect with some tools when they are active.

well.. that's just strange (tried it in su8 too on lion and mavericks-- with various active tools).. i'm sure there's a reason behind the differing behaviors on our computers but i guess it's not important enough to figure out.

fwiw, i do use the ESC key often in sketchup but i use it as a cancel button while drawing (for instance, i use the line tool if i need to measure something but i ESC once i see the dimension in the measurement box.. or if i misplace the beginning click of a tool etc..)

I will investigate Google+ as I'm sure they have a way.

Just stumbled today over that interessting thread!

In Google+ it is possible to upload an pano directly. You have to set the file with the geodata and google+ will find out that it is a pano and will put it to its own viewer.

here's my example:

Ah, see that is my problem, when I copy and paste into SU 2014 I get errors so I was hoping to have an updated version of it.

Why the Hell can't we refine our own Tar Sands Oil in Canada?
Are Canadians technically inept?
Are we intimidated because we are too politically correct to transport oil over Native land?
Why do we need to transport Oil to the US via pipeline for processing?

Have you ever heard anyone in the media either CNN or CBC, ask those questions?

And just in case your still thinking of saving the planet ..... forget it!, its over!
No one is concerned about consuming GMO's or consuming Seafood from the Pacific Oceann.....stay tuned. Fukushima is destroying the Eco system of the Planet for the next 100 years and more, forget about Climate Change or a potential pipeline leak, they will pale in comparison.

At least the money is going to comedy and not to buying another politician.

The space shuttle SSRMT is a side looking synthetic radar operating at c/x band I think, been long time since I read its specs. That is what is used for elevation data in Google Earth.
Here is a link with perhaps useful info for you. I did not see date on it however

If you do a search on Google Erath resolution you can find a link that list most of the sat data they use and the scale and resolution specs. It is my understanding both the PRO and free versions have the same resolution.

wow.. a month to clear coat the thing 😉

(i kid, the effect is great and i see what he's saying about not wanting to ruin the manilla folder finish with paint)

Violence and beauty, hate and love, are both extreme achievements of human behings and so much intertwined.

Only through a deep emotional experience can we grasp a bit of those extremes and there's no other means of comunication better to express emotion than Art.

It's upon these extremes that History has been written on, so neither one nor the other's available knowledge should be censored. If so then our path to learning is blocked, and we can't decide who we are and if we are to avoid one in favour of the other to write our present, with both freedom and responsability.

Anyone have decent modeled ones?

Or know where I can find some?

You won't get anymore standard than these, Pete. In every home in Australia.....
