Re: Twilight View and Sketchup View not Matching
Sorry to necro this, but are there any tips for moving the camera around *without* using Advanced Camera Tools, or getting SU's camera to match the ACT camera? I want to superimpose a 3d render of a few (not real) buildings out in a field onto real photos. It took me a few hours to finally align the...

Re: Render an alpha mask that includes shadows on terrain?
Oh, you're right, my apologies! I've been deep into this project and straight up forgot that I had already asked this question. Thank you for your patience and help!

Render an alpha mask that includes shadows on terrain?
I have a series of structures set up on geo-located terrain in such a way that the terrain height is relevant. I have matched the SketchUp view with a real-world photo, and want to render the structures and then composite them into the real shot, such that the final shot shows the rendered structure...

Re: Twilight Render V2 Pro - Crashing on certain actions
Hello Chris, thank you for getting back to me. With regards to internet access, think of it like me running the program on a "government" laptop. I don't really have the option of testing with more "open" network permissions. I have internet access, but some websites (in a browse...

Twilight Render V2 Pro - Crashing on certain actions
I have purchased and activated the licenses for Twilight Render V2 Pro and the Terrain Add-On. I am running Sketchup 2023 Pro V23.1.315 64-bit on a Dell Latitude 5420 laptop. In Options, Twilight Render Pro is Activated, so is the Terrain Editor. SketchUp crashes when I select Extensions -> Twilight...

"Greeble" or randomize the rotation of thousands of subcomponents?
My ultimate goal is to create some photorealistic renderings of solar arrays that could look similar to the three images at the end of this post. In the three images below, you'll observe that each installed solar panel is rotated slightly off from its neighbors, often by only a few degrees. This us...

Reflecting the sun itself?
My ultimate goal is to create some photorealistic renderings of solar arrays that could look similar to the three images at the end of this post. In the three images, you'll observe that the sun itself is observed in the reflections (to various degrees). How can I get the reflection of the sun to sh...

Re: How do I best superimpose a rendered image onto a matched photo, keeping shadows?
Hello @Fletch, this was a great set of responses, thank you. I intend to be purchasing Pro soon, so I haven't been able to test this yet. Can I do one of the following? 1. Capture a render of JUST the shadows onto a shadow catcher, and not the rest of the objects, such that I can place the shadows o...

Re: Reducing aliasing for large amounts of repeated components?
Additionally, I would be interested in learning if there are any ways to slightly vary the hue and specularity of each solar panel. I've tried rendering a significantly higher resolution image (32000x20000 pixels) and the aliasing is still an issue due to the uniformity of everything. Maybe there wo...
