Ohh yes that work really good !

I know again a new technique today with sketchucation , thannnkkkssss !!

My test file are too big... I do not know why because I have purged ... and it's take 9.82 mb

So I attach another exemple

exemple uv mapping2.skp

Ps: I've made the shape with soap skin bubble plugin

I just want to know today the best way apply correctly a material on a complex shape ?

Has you know Sketchup dont like the complex shape and do anything with my texture !

exemple :

So please Sketchucation, give me my christmas gift, tell me the solution

See you

Thank you for your warning, in fact I think we should find a good compromise and increase the quality of rounded edges on the most important side

For the record I said above, I use HyperShot

Yeah, that's exactly what I was looking for!

I still ask myself some questions,

How to apply correctly a texture on SketchUp with complex shapes?

Why have the pro version of sketchup rather than the free version?

Thank you all for your little explanations and comments on my first reports, it's nice of you!

I had never done 3D modeling in my life and I'm set there is only 1 month, and I can do without now

For my profile, I do not like to reveal too much information about me on the web ...

To continue our little conversation, you know a topic that contains all the little tricks to know for Sketchup? Or do you have any important tips for me?

Finally, I work with HyperShot rendering software is really user friendly, the only complaint and it does not yet support the light management and ies file ...

I tried to put myself in Vray, but this software is a nuclear power plant by itself! Yuck!

lol,I know I'm new , but not completly

Profile builder plugin is more simple , but I'm happy too with the fomllow me tools

to the question of the number of segments in SketchUp, this parameter is not stored anywhere?

Ok, I see now ! thanks for your great explication !

no he can not change this setting in the configuration of SketchUp? The number 24 to come from somewhere ... I think it would be a good idea to change ...

To speak of other things I discovered this plugin: http://www.smustard.com/script/ProfileBuilder

You are going to think I'm stingy, but in truth I Sketchup is simply passion after work and this is why I have absolutely no desire to invest money then it's just a hobby ...

So you know a plugin that lets you create profiles along a path?

I am happy to talk with you about sketchup!

Wow sorry, I look like a noob now

I am relieved to know that it's so simple! but why the number of segments by default is not adjustable in the preferences? That would avoid a large number of maneuver in the modeling ...

Thom thom what do you mean about VCB ? I dont know exactly what is it ...

Sorry for my poor english, in fact I'm a frenchy ...

See you soon for more render

Just foe the pleasure, My first render, a little table

Hello everyone, I'am new here !

Every day I discover more and more features with this software and I play for hours and hours !

I think I'll still find a lot of things and improve my modeling but I am now faced with a problem of quality in SketchUp ...

I'll show you a concrete example to better explain the problem and we can discuss about this topic:

As you can see from this report, we see very clearly the sharp edges on the cylinder of the engine. This poor rounding gives a very bad effect and takes away the realism of the rendering.

On this second record we can again see the faces visible on the slices

How can we sketchup increase in the number of facets or refine rounded?

Thank you in advance for your reply and merry New Year to all!
