When it would be also linked to a GPS system, this will be great.

already possible in Plus

another nice feature in 4.3 is the ability to show up the date when the image was taken (now I know that my town was scanned in 2003 )

so how do you see the ideal render manual ? (picking out your brain )

that is weird - on my Q6600(4 cores)/Vista if I move the affinity to 1 core it goes worse. so I am using all 4 cores and works fine for me

testing:

• get Process Explorer - best task manager ever (you can see each core, history and other advanced features)
• open a model that has the complexity that you usually work
• open RubyConsole
• type Test.time_display 500

yup, from 2.0 will support multi-core renderings. it is a joy to see all cores go 100%

quick render 680x382:
4 core render: 20sec
1 core render: 1min 07 sec

so 3.35x times faster (some time is spent in synchronizing the renders on each core and Windows overhead)

1. right click on a face to display the context menu
2. dismiss that (click outside)
3. Windows | Preferences | Shortcuts
4. filter: reverse

unfortunately there is no progress on it. if I cannot allocate more time on it I will release it for others to play with (source)

Sketchup.send_action 21940

I think it will confuse more as normal SU toolbar icons don't have double click behavior.
also how do you show that the user should dbl click for more features besides writing in docs (that users usually dont read)

hmm, I tested in SU, PS and TotalCmd Imagine viewer plugin and it works ok

here is a small test that creates an 8bit indexed pallete png that works in SU
(dont know if your engine supports it)

you then go through all color materials, create pngs and replace the color with those textures

def create_small_png(red,green,blue, filename)

  small_png = %{iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAAECAMAAACeL25MAAAABlBMVEUAAP8A
  AAB7Yr8+AAAADklEQVR42mJgwAQAAQYAABQAAWhJMmMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=
  }.unpack("m").to_s
  color_pos = 41

  small_png[color_pos]   = red.chr
  small_png[color_pos+1] = green.chr
  small_png[color_pos+2] = blue.chr
  
  File.open(filename,"wb") {|x| x.write small_png}  
end

create_small_png(255,255,0,"d;/test.png")

no. the JS is hard to modify. I would go with this one

yeah,

javascript:alert("You survived 999.99 seconds!")

unfortunately is not available yet due the fact that I am completely busy with Podium 2 nowdays.

I cannot say when it will be released (or if it will be released, maybe SU7 will have video support anyway), but if someone wants to continue the development we can talk about.

most of the time programs don't follow the guidelines for windows programming and on update of OS they fell apart. see this for an example

... and shadow test (needs a limit so that shadows doesn't jump

here is another try with a car (not that smooth as it has only 10 images - 205kb)

later edit: quick test using wikii script + my Xporter and another javascript

project space created on http://code.google.com/p/su2web/ - feel free to join

you can use SketchUp Bridge to run your scripts like:

• start SU
• wait for SU to initialize
• load and run script via SUBridge

one way:

• user adds lights in AL (Adam's Lighting plugin) and see in realtime a preview of the model
• Podium detects the lights from AL and renders using those lights

another way:

• Podium renders and creates a textured lightmap
• AL loads the file and allows further modifications

I am open for creating a bridge between Podium and Adam's plugin, maybe an open format that allows exchanging of info
