Re: Support for Skatter ?

yes please.

Also, when/ if released could you provide a tutorial that includes a description of all the settings and how they are used? This seems to be lacking in most of the plug-ins I have found for doing this type of thing.

I would definitely purchase this.

Correct position of .ies

How do I make sure that when I add ies data to a light, that it is in the proper orientation? For instance the ies data for a night light looks like the attached. I have provided a link to the fixture (MSN-A-120-W). I have no idea if the orientation is correct or where to place the light in relation...

Re: Looking for critique and a question about pixels

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help. Grass instances - all proxy, I tried to photo shop the grass in as I read a post where Fletch said this is the easiest method. Maybe I am not good enough a PS yet because I couldn't get the grass to look real. I have an 8 core 3.40 ghz intel xeon with 16 gb...

Re: Looking for critique and a question about pixels

That is quite strange. I don't use the Exterior progressive preset much because of it's tendency to produce sparkles, but I haven't seen the black pixels before. What is your lighting setup? Are you using just the sun and physical sky for the background? Yes settings are as follows: Physical Sky Br...

Re: Proxy tool will not convert

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately I just recreated the object so I no longer have the file with just the proxy. I may have purged the drawing though I don't recall doing it. I'll make sure to keep that in mind for the future.

You guys have a great product, keep up the good work.

Looking for critique and a question about pixels

So other than a few splotchy bits of grass and not rounding the corners yet (design not finalized), could you let me know what you think and how these images can be improved? I also have two questions. 1. Can anyone explain the black dots on the images? They seem to be just pixels that didn't get fi...

Proxy tool will not convert

I had an object that was something like a hill. I converted it to a proxy and when I tried to render it gives me a blue plane. When I try to convert from proxy nothing happens. The tool works fine with other objects. Twilight V2 SketchUp Pro 2015. Update. Looking through the component list the origi...

LRV (light reflective value) input

I saw a post from April of 2013 about LRV. I was wondering of there was any update to this. I am starting to receive more of this data and would like to utilize it. If there is no direct input is there another way to use the info? Thanks

Re: Interior Renderings - Exposure for Background Outside

As I understand it using Easy 09 is sometimes the best option when rendering an interior scene like the one here. But the Easy 09 option does not allow you to use a Fake Emitter, and using an LEM will add greatly to the render time. Is there another way to achieve this effect when using Easy 09?
