Just a couple of questions..

Hi,
I havent purchased Twilight yet but it certainly looks interesting. I just have a couple of questions first.
1) As it runs within the sketchup interface, would I be right in assuming that Twilight renders will suffer from Sketchups 2GB memory limit issue (32bit)?
2) Does Twilight support normal maps to use with the material editor?

Thanks.

Twilight is currently limited to the 32-bit memory limitation, yes. I'm not sure if compiling Twilight with 64 bit enabled would work or if there would be conflicts with SU; I haven't tried.

Twilight doesn't expose the ability to set a normal map. We wanted to keep things simple and small and decided bump maps were much more common. However, there may be a way to include setting a normal map. I'll look into it.

Thanks for the reply Chris. I'm afraid I'll have to pass because of the memory issue but good luck with the software it looks very good.

Understood. I assume the memory issue is because of large render size? Obviously large model size would be a conflict inside SU, regardless of Twilight's support. If you are having memory issues with the current release of 1.0.6, I strongly encourage you to check back soon as we are releasing a maintenance release that cuts peak memory usage almost in half.
