First test render I've done with Twilight was to put this scene through it which has proved tricky with KKT. The trees all clip superbly well out of the box, which in KKT would require some extra work. Thanks for enabling this in TR!
It's a test scene by the Irender Nxt team which they feel is a benchmark. I've no idea what they've done to the house texture tho - it won't even render correctly in KKT with "export photomatch" enabled in the SU2KT exporter . Any thoughts?

Yeah, that video and model was a viral attempt to sell Renderplus products, see discussion here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtop ... 80&t=21447
It was disguised as a help tutorial, and called out for it.

Re: Alpha masking for trees
Making all the textures "unique" for the house seems to have fixed it. Here's Med+ (corresponding to KKT Photonmap Med +AA i presume?). Trees come up real good! Soft shadows look nice too This is with no material tweaking at all, so I would heartily recommend Twilight simply because it does the alpha map thing.

Re: Alpha masking for trees
yes, that is correct... thanks Rob for the reply. (this is also how to get it to export w/ su2kt as well, I believe, but have not tested it myself.)Rob D wrote:Making all the textures "unique" for the house seems to have fixed it
This scene is only a benchmark for how to do beginner modeling in SketchUp.
If you use the new maintenance release for Twilight and move the clock away from the wall an inch, it, too, will render just fine with Twilight Render.
Rendering SketchUp Sections in Twilight will likely be in the next version (not maintenance release) of Twilight and is already in the works.

I can hardly wait to see it!
It's been a long time wish for Kerky, too.
