Exporting SketchUp model with Twilight properties

Post by nickcrush » Sat Jun 22, 2019 3:14 pm

Hello
I want to send a SketchUp model to a colleague of mine based in another country to make the final touches to a render and use their machine to create the renders as they have a better spec PC.

I have already done quite a lot of work setting up scene info and modifying lighting and Twilight materials etc.

My question is, are all the Twilight settings and materials automatically saver in the sketchup model which I will export ? Also does my colleague have to install Twilight separately ?

Thanks

Chris

If you save the SketchUp scene, all the Twilight Render properties will go with it, yes. If you export just a component out of the scene, it should retain materials and lights (assuming the component contains lights).

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding your last question, but yes, if your coworker wants to render with Twilight Render, they will definitely need to install Twilight Render.
