Re: Testing Night Scene

Good work. Good luck in the challenge! Perhaps add more light (brightness) the pool at night wouldn't be so dark. Or try the exposure so we can see more. It's mysterious now, but to be romantic, I think it needs to be more visible.

Re: Google Earth Terrain

Fletch, That really didn't work for me. This terrain was already chopped up exploded and some parts re-textured. First of all the texture did not appear in my materials in SU. I know it can't be an image can it--since it is applied to an undulating terrain surface? So I picked the material so that i...

Google Earth Terrain

I have a model with some Google earth Terrain. The terrain texture doesn't appear to be rendering.

Not sure I'd want to use it, but thought I'd check to see what it looked like. It comes out pure black.

Any ETA on OSX V2 for 2015?

Looks like I need to buy Twilight! And certainly I can get V2 and run on SU 2014. However I have yet to migrate to 2014 and I think I had rather make one move to 2015, so is there any idea on the V2 OSX for 2015 upgrade? Are we talking months now?

Thanks, Peter

Mac upgrade and materials question

Looking forward to the Mac 64 bit version so I can get Pro and update to 2015 all at once. (Interesting that you don't expect performance (speed) improvement in most cases. LightUp is claiming 70% increase and people claim SU works faster, whereas all those that should know (developers) say this is ...

Re: Pool water refraction?

Thanks! As I recall from that thread, that's an actual photo--and, yes, the pool could not be as shallow as the water in the picture makes it appear. I didn't realize the transparent water texture has the ability to create that effect in the renders. Some good notes in that thread.

Pool water refraction?

I am working on a pool (not much else done in this picture). The depth of the pool is greatly distorted, and I know, of course that water bends the light, but is this what is happening and looks correct? I have a single face of "water". Attached is the SketchUp picture showing how deep the...

Re: Evening Exterior Scene

Nice job. There's some glow on the walls at all the windows. Maybe the bloom settings? Good consistency in the plantings and in overall textures.
