This will be fixed in the next release.

Re: very strange behavior

Fletch has a good point about filepaths. The SDK doesn't handle unicode characters. Twilight 'filters' all the filenames so that they only use ascii characters, but if the file path includes unicode characters, that may be a problem. Noro, can you do a search for "layouts.dat" and tell me ...

Re: very strange behavior

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. When you click on the Twilight Material eyedropper, then you click on the material in your SketchUp scene, you should see that material show up in the edit window. If you change the material in the Twilight Material Editor it will change it in SU. If you had ...

Re: very strange behavior

Re: Having an issue with errors

Wow, that's a bit crazy. It definitely sounds like a conflict with another ruby, so I'll be very interested to see what you find.

Re: Having an issue with errors

Hi EarthMover, Do these errors popup as soon as you open the render window, or as soon as you start the render? Twilight doesn't really do anything when you open the window, so if I had to guess I'd say this is weird interaction with a different ruby script / plugin. If, however, this happens when y...

Re: How to fake fire flames

"no preset" is more of a bug than anything. But yes, that's exactly how it's supposed to be. With no preset, the sky doesn't contribute lighting. You can disable to sky by setting the background color to black, as I said before.
