You mean like this https://mtc.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/B23E0762A61177286026620809216_3035c05cf80.1.5.8175564427571340698.mp4?versionId=HsegzhG2LMV8T9WLgyDH_0Z9mIBFkaVI

The murders in Paris was of course tragedy for innocent people who has nothing to do with the scenario behind it, but it was and will be much bigger tragedy for 1000s of innocent people from "terrorist countries" when NATO "twist their arms". But it seems that they are not people for "civilized world". What a hypocrisy. All the people are made equal, aren't they? It is the same as the famous German rule in WW2: 100 innocent civilian Serbs killed for 1 German solder. "The war against terror" is just an excuse for doing terror. Good people, do not be fooled. Let the devil do it's job without your applause...

If you want to "fix" something, don't do it by bombing some far away country you know nothing about. Begin with what is closer to you - with your own mind for a start. One simple thing is enough - do you think that people all over the World have right to live? And to live their own way? Or you think you are so special and far more superior so they have to live your way? Sounds familiar?

Looking at the numbers this is the real terror-"The USA has terrorised all these countries since WW2, killing over 30 million civilians in the process:
Kóréá ánd Chíná 1950-53 (Kóréán Wár), Guátémálá 1954 ,índónésíá 1958 ,Cubá 1959-1961 ,Guátémálá 1960 ,Cóngó 1964 ,Láós 1964-73 ,Víétnám 1961-73 ,Cámbódíá 1969-70 ,Guátémálá 1967-69 ,Grénádá 1983 ,Lébánón 1983, 1984 (bóth Lébánésé ánd Syríán tárgéts) ,Líbyá 1986 ,él Sálvádór 1980s ,Nícáráguá 1980s ,írán 1987 ,Pánámá 1989 ,íráq 1991 (Pérsíán Gulf Wár) ,Kuwáít 1991 ,Sómálíá 1993 ,Bósníá 1994, 1995 ,Sudán 1998 ,áfghánístán 1998 ,Yugóslávíá 1999 ,Yémén 2002 ,íráq 1991-2003 (US/UK ón régulár básís) ,íráq 2003-présént ,áfghánístán 2001-présént ,Pákístán 2007-présént ,Sómálíá 2007-8, 2011 ,Yémén 2009, 2011, 2014 ,Líbyá 2011, íráq 2014-2015, Syríá 2014-2015 Ukraine 2013 onwards."

Now when I see, it really looks good (with post editing), because of better nature elements and composition. If one could export the model to Thea render engine that would be nice

I tried making presentation of my current project with Twinmotion 2016. It was easy with good results. The only small problem when importing from SU was some components-groups scaling. But it was fixed by exploding and grouping them again...some material setup (too much reflection by default) and camera settings for more natural look...and I had interactive VR with stereo 3D option and animated cats and trees and skies and pool water out of the box! It is a good start, but the quality of render is not enough for my taste (especially when compared to Thea output). New Lumion 6 looks much better, but there is still no trial to check it in practice. Here is the example. Note - Twinmotion image was originally 3840x2000 and it took about 15sec to render it. Thea image is in original size rendered, and it took 20min. Both images was corrected.

This worked for me. Bold text.

Fantastic!

You can play with NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL settings for SU app. and make it much better.

Thanks for the video. You remind me of Hololens. I've seen it. It is close, but as I see it is some kind of presentation, review and small onsite correction tool which will cost a fortune. Something like interface for TEcla, instead of tablets...I am thinking about native SU modeling in VR for law price, for all. Another reason to by Sketchup pro

TRIMBELE VR headset and SketchUp! I think that it would be great step forward if Trimble would integrate VR interface in new Sketchup 2016, which would be used for modeling! Trimble VR hardware could be in the packet too

As far as I see the plugin will be for viewing only. I think that it would be great step forward if Trimble would integrate VR interface in new Sketchup 2016, which would be used for modeling! Trimble VR hardware could be in the packet .

JQL, have you tried it? Do you know how does it work in practice?

Have you try to import using FreeDXF plugin? It does great job with layers.

Thak you.

Big Data is the next Big Thing: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/windows-10-microsofts-big-data-grabbing-spying-os-bernard-marr
Windows 7 will be gone in 4 years. SketchUP for Linux?

This reminds me of the two way screens in Orwell's "1984" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescreen ...Windows became Android. With no alternative. Maybe Linux will stay the only one way operating system?
