Skatter objects will not render

Post by Jeff » Sun Jul 29, 2018 11:59 pm

I've done everything I know how to do, but I can't get my Skatter objects to render. I am running Twilight V 2.11.1 Professional and Sketchup 2018 Professional, Windows 64-bit. The only thing I haven't done, which I'm assuming is the reason my Skatter objects won't render, is that I haven't gone into "Advanced Render Settings" and turned on Skatter. I keep reading that this needs to be done but I CAN'T FIND THE ADVANCED RENDER SETTINGS for Twilight! I don't think I'm that dumb, but maybe I am. Please someone, anyone, help me find them! Or is there something else going on?

I CAN'T FIND THE ADVANCED RENDER SETTINGS for Twilight! ...Please someone, anyone, help me find them!
  1. Open Twilight Render Dialog to start your rendering.
  2. Go to "Settings" pull-down menu inside this dialog box.
  3. Choose "Advanced Render Settings"
  4. Make sure "Enable Skatter Rendering" is checked.
If it is, and the Skatter objects still aren't rendering, follow carefully this thead:

Thank you for you help, but the "Settings" pull-down has only three choices: 1. Multi-threading, 2. Section cut rendering, 3. Save method. "Advanced Render Settings" is not an option.

Are you using Hobby or Pro? Enable Skatter rendering is a Pro only feature.

Install Latest Version from here, and try looking again for the Skatter rendering option..

I still don't have any options under "Settings" other than: Multi-Threading, Section Cut Rendering and Save Method. What am I missing!!!???

Is you Pro installation activated? Sometimes when Windows undergoes a major update, your license will become unactivated. You can check it by going to the Twilight Render V2 Options window and clicking on 'License'. If your install is activated, it is pretty obvious (it says something like "Congratulations, your install of TWR Pro is activated"). If not, you will need to reactivate it (which takes about 30 seconds as long as you have your product id handy).
