I purchased sketchup pro in 2015, and have happily used it well since. I'm extremely upset over the fact now I can't convert 2017 content (using Sketchup Make 2017) down to 2015 for use. This is almost like a forced situation to force me to cough up money for something I don't really need (like sketchup 2021).
Am hoping someone writes a convertor out there to be able to convert 2021 files down to 2015. Infuriating to say the least!
The Visualizer website is down! Does anyone have a list of enhanced material names for the different reflection levels?
I only remember gloss and matte
I recall paint plastic / metal somewhere...
thanks-heaps!
Some sought after renderer engines are priced SAAS - at fair value of
$20/month = $240 / yr
same here... renting plugins suck. Some plugins are used once a in long while.
could be really useful for drawings such as these :
hi fluid, I think you are trying to make this a full renderer somewhat, which makes it really slow on normal systems. Anyhow, is there any way to make a image like the one attached, where I manually photoshopped some kind of occlusion / radiosity in the shadow edges where I think would be appropriate, and leave the lines crisp and clean from direct skethchup output? I it were possible - would it be still as slow as what's happening now? the intention is the give the image more depth than the lack of due to the flat shadows generated in sketchup.
A basic material editor has been added to the beta. Worth a shot, CPU renders are insanely fast
Yeah, if you get too concerned about dimensions like these, then you have to account for the size and thicknesses of the blades that will cut them, usually they slice a few millimeters off what is the actual intended and exact dimension.
Brad Schell and Joe Esch need to start up a new company. They had a huge following, they sold out, they retired, and they should be tired of retiring by now and do something meaningful like come up with a better Sketchup!
