Re: Spherical sky bright idea...

Wow, that's a really clever idea. I especially like how you can use it to set the tone / sky color to something not necessarily in the image.

Of course, reflective surfaces won't look as good, reflecting a solid color. But for your purposes, it looks good!

Re: Sketchup7.1

Yeah, I agree its probably a memory card issue. I've always heard Nvidia does better with opengl than ATI.

Re: Sketchup7.1

I have a low-end laptop and I encountered some difficulty with my OpenGL settings back with SU 6. I just have to use some of the lower settings and it seems to work fine.

I actually kind of like the patterning in this one! For some reason it seems to work.

Re: TwilightRender SketchyPhysics Animation

I have seen some of that before, though not all of it. Shareck is definitely a SketchyPhysics expert! That's an awesome tank. Good job on the audio (though I expected a cannon sound when the gun fired :D )

Great IES lighting, great texturing!

Agree that upping the exposure would probably be good.

Re: Camera Animation Problem

When SketchUp animates between frames, it doesn't animate the point of focus correctly. Instead of interpolating between focus points from scene A to scene B, it pretends the focus point is a fixed distance from the camera. This seriously screws up any render with Depth Of Field. So Twilight animate...

The picture on the wall in the first seems strangely muted.

And yes, translucent materials do add a lot of time to the render.
