Thanks cosycat and fletch!
it works now

Feltcher,
I tried that but the render box is still hiding outside the Sketchup window. Now I'm banned from rendering any model since I can't see my dialog box

Could someone please help me-
I was using Twilight and I somehow moved the render dialog box down and out of the sketchup window, and I can't recover it ! Tried everything- reinstall Twilight, restore Sketchup defaults, copied the model and saved it to a new file, the render box never shows up in my Sketchup window!!!

and I can figure out how to contact or post on the Twilight website. Lol.
Has this ever happened to anyone? Any help would be really appreciated!!

these images look great Fletch!
is the background vegetation a 2d image in the sketchup model? and is the sky from twilight or photoshop? thanks!

Here is another post edit DOF attempt, this time I concentrated on the flower bed in the foreground, but something is just wrong and I cannot figure out what.

(Twilight render)

i think that the 2 columns next to the center flower bed should be sharp since they are on the same view plane, but they look out of focus for some strange reason..

wow!!! thank you Adam for sharing this - really unbelievable!!
is it Vue?

thanks solo for answering - was hoping you'd show up. actually i just read about his courses page- it seems to be 3ds max & vray

roberto these are just amazing!!!! and thank you for sharing the photoshop tips!!

thank you sooooooo much chris for all your wonderful rubies!!! i'm working on a pool with glass tile blend and this is just perfect!!!

so beautiful!! never NEVER bored with your renders!
is the Taj Mahal actual model or billboard??

hi mike, artlantis (i use 2.1.0.4) can open skp files directly. you don't have to have an exporter for artlantis to use with SU free.

thank you solo for the reply. the speed, preview and ecosystem feature sounds great! now i'm going to visit your Vue thread post!

very very beautiful!!!!! the harmony of all the subtle shades of colors is just amazing!!!

Questions- how long is the rendering time in Vue for something like 1280x960 size?? is the preview real-time for all the atmospheric effects?

thank you for posting these night renders, they look great! i just LOVE the blue toned one with the foreground reflecting pool and moon !! very beautiful atmosphere.
can't wait to see the Artlantis images!

thank u !!
