Re: Very slow render time

Hi Fletch, Thanks for your help. I'm currently using the hobby version, and evaluating if it will work out for me. There is no "Extensions>Twilight V2> Diagnostic " available in the hobby version. The materials I used are from images about 50KB in size. I believe that is typical of Sketch...

Re: Very slow render time

Hi Fletch,
I DM'd you a couple days ago, and just checked my sent messages. Nothing appears sent.

Are your DM's open?

I'm finally starting to get some decent images. Render times were quick. Then I applied two different siding textures to the exterior walls, and a couple of plants in the foreground, my render times have gone through the roof. This one took about 12 hours and I stopped it with 8 hours to go. It was ...

Re: New Hobby User getting poor results

Here is a rendering from the porch. Sun is set at default level of 5. Background is Physical sky. Porch screens are grey glass set at 10% opaque. Does this program require multiple interior light sources and all sorts of lighting tricks to achieve a decent level of light? I have watched several tuto...

New Hobby User getting poor results

The beginner tutorials all seem to focus on interior scenes and adding lights. Is there a tutorial that helps with exterior scenes, with no lights except for the sun? When I render this scene, and anything like it, the interior of the house is dark and the shaded areas are too dark as well. In reali...

I have (attempted) to attach a render and a cooresponding screen shot of a Sketchup model. [Actually, I don't see a way to post an image. Am I supposed to upload my image somewhere else, and post a link?] There is a small tab below the message window labeled “attachments” , click on that and you’ll...

If you have Twilight Render Pro all of the default SketchUp materials will render with their Twilight Render equivalent materials (glass, water, woo...
