agree - an option like "e-transmit" in AutoCad or similar to the option within InDesign to "package" a document would be very useful.

I believe I'm using the latest release and if I try carpet & grass settings with zero height & zero variation I get the results below:

I think carpet setting is a bit misleading and I think of this setting more like a fluffy rug.

For carpet I find a texture with good bump or normal map gives best results.

Morning all,

Hopefully this works - model and material attached as .zip.

Might need to play around with opacity slider.

I normally import the png in sketchup then explode and regroup - then move it 2 or 3mm away from the glass face. For a scene like this I'd place it behind the glass so reflections are on the glass not the manifestation.

Thanks, steve.

no problem - I've run out of time today but happy to share the material or model tomorrow if that helps?

this is png image for manifestation with transparency and bump from a fabric to give the light dispersing effect

is this any good?

is this the look you are aiming for?

the grass here is continuous even below the timber slabs but just played with the height of the slabs to hide the grass.

I have another similar bulb for this model too:

Here are some screenshots with settings:

Here is the light string saved as a model

No probs,

As soon as I get to the office in the morning I'll post it up here.

I think it might use emissive material combined with point light but it was a while ago so will need to check.

Cheers, Steve

something like this?

If so i'll happily share model

Block CPM is who I work for, the tour Software is 3D Vista: https://www.3dvista.com

Here's my latest tour: https://www.tours.blockcpm.studio/rockryan/tour/

I've done 40 or so of these: https://www.tours.blockcpm.studio/pierwest/tour/

I have experienced what you're seeing BUT it goes away if you render with auto exposure off.

Hi Paul,

Could you tell me what programme you use to stitch these pano renders together?

Looks really slick.

Thanks, steve.

edit

just googled BLOCK CPM and found the answer

there is an "import selection" button - bottom right of window

took me a minute to find it too

As a test I have upgraded to SketchUp 2021. Enscape now working fine. Not a fix for anyone who can't make the upgrade but if you can then it works for me.

Now just need to install all my other plug-ins

Have you also made sure that you're using the latest graphics card drivers? If you have a chance and time feel free to try that out, otherwise you can also just wait for a response from my team which will assist you further via your feedback report to give you further information regarding why you experience these crashes. Thanks for sending in the Feedback!

I'll try that but think I'm up to date - will post back if that was the issue

Update

Downloaded and installed latest graphics card drivers.

Uninstalled Enscape.

Reinstalled 3.1.0.

Tested and still have same issue - crashing when selecting scenes from view manager.

I'll revert to 3.0.2

Just rolled back to Version: 3.0.2+45914 & my issue is fixed. Looks like a glitch with 3.1.0

Thanks, steve

Latest version of Enscape for me is crashing every time I select a saved scene in view manager.
I have reported through feedback button.

I'm using SketchUp 2020 & Enscape 3.1.0

Going to switch to previous version.

agree with all of the above 100%.

even with the method I use it's not easy to do. I have to click the Timestamp Checkbox and quickly get to the counter to adjust the time but it often disappears before I can get to it.

I too preferred previous versions of the Video Editor and Preset Management.

It should be much easier to set total duration of the video at any time (often the option is greyed out) . I'd rather the total length of the video controlled the speed rather than the Distance Travelled divided by Speed dictating the overall time if that makes sense.

Only way to make the video longer is to make the camera move further or adjust movement speed in a different window. It should be that you can just add a couple secs to make the camera movement slower. Also this should allow for different movement speeds between different key frames.

Hopefully this is all being addressed by the Enscape Team?

I've managed to achieve this without a workaround but it is a bit awkward.

I opened video editor and created 3 x key frames using the + on the timeline.

Next I set total duration to 8secs.

I then click 1st keyframe and update.

Click 2nd keyframe and update.

Click 3rd keyframe and move the camera - update.

At this point keyframes 1 & 2 move on top of each other with a message 1 & 2 occupy same point in time.

Using the < > buttons you can select keyframe 2 then change the timestamp to 5secs.

On the attached example I added a little sun movement using Time Of Day just so you can see the camera is recording while sitting in the same place between frames 1 & 2.

1st attachment is the animation. 2nd is the video path .xml
