... and I was just to shop for a SpaceMouse for SKP & Enscape. So for now it's better to hold off?

If you're looking to reduce the poly count of imported objects, Skimp might be worth looking at.
-
The ability to paint a mix of vegetation on to a surface in Twinmotion is a really good feature (albeit to an external file). Can we expect to see anything similar in Enscape any time soon? Would save a lot of time.....
If you're running SKP try Skatter. If not, you might be kinda SOL.

The size/resolution of materials should always be adressed in order to keep your projects as light and responsive as possible plus to avoid file size bloat. Only materials that are viewed up close need to be full/high resolution, almost everything else can be used in a lower resolution. Purge all unused items and materials (by either using the built in SKP feature or extensions such as CleanUp³), then run the SKP extension Material Resizer to resize all that's left down to a reasonable size.

Made a quick test sample with 10 high res textures resized to a resonable resolution - 70 percent less VRAM consumption are a rather drastic result.

Be aware: Using this tool resets the color hues/lightness of the textures so if you've made any color adjustments to textures in Sketchup you will need to re-adjust them afterwards.
Let me know if this helps.

Hi Elio!
..either the trees are REEEEEALLY big or the cabin is for tiny people
The Smurfs would like to have a word with you
Render looks great though!
-
Some of the recent work, what do you think?
-
That's what the Features page says...
-
What about the use of Layers/Tags in SKP?
-
I agree with EGIE, that would sure be a great Covid hideout
Renders look absolutely great, really love the outdoor renders with the snow. How did you make that snow? Only nitpick is that the materials look a bit dull and flat, using bump maps and adjusting the reflection values accordingly would add to those already great renders! -
This has been requested before: Toggle for continuos cloud/water movement

When it comes to the grass/carpet overstepping edges, we usually recommend to define a smaller area with that grass/carpet material, but I can understand that this is unnecessarily time consuming. I'll also discuss this internally, thank you!
Thank you for your reply, but no. All of us are (obviously) working in a professions where meters, centimeters and millimeters count. Your rendering solution already does so much right but having this little detail go awry cause I'm not using an arbitrary workaround is not really acceptable.

Yep, this definitely needs to happen.
-
Just... How?
-
-
uhm, am I missing something about the trees not moving in the wind?
Yep, same here, was just about to post in the Bugs subforum - grass is working fine, trees are not moving at all.
-
The next version will introduce an improved grass texture, thanks Herbo for this suggestion. There is one additional type, which is the carpet.
-
That looks amazing, I especially like the stone wall textures and the roof slabs - are those all full geomtetry?
-
Yep, we strongly need a grass/fur-material that does not look as shabby plus respects geometry boundaries. The grass placement always overstepping geometry and clipping into other objects just looks sloppy as all hell.
