With the model being triangulated to begin with, it will never look 100% like real life because no matter the render engine you use, triangles are flat and it's surface shape is approximated. Now, there is nothing perfectly sharp, not even a razor blade, you look at one under a microscope and it is ...

No there isn't as it doesn't change the geometry. Do you have a screen shot of how fake it looks? Perhaps round the edges in Sketchup first. I always tell the designers to model as it would be in real life and the render will reflect this work.

That's just it, the materials listed in the drop down comes from the default materials upon installing Raylectron, in the folder of the icon next to the drop down.

If you just download the full installation EXE, not the RBZ, it will reinstall the material folder. Uninstall the one you already have first so there isn't 2 copied in 2 different place. Have you done a search on your C: to find that folder so that you don't lose the materials you created?

Have you installed it using the EXE once before when you had all the materials and then installed the update using the RBZ from within Sketchup instead?

It doesn't really matter where as long as all the file are in it. Is it empty?

It looks like it's not looking in the proper folder or that it has moved. When you click on the yellow folder icon next to "Convert this material", does it open the right one? It should be in your "Documents\Raylectron\Favorite Materials".

I've never experience this before. Can you orbit etc and still all black?. Is it an outdoor scene? Can you PM me some screen shots or even PM me the SKP model? It's very hard to find the problem without visualizing it.

You do not need to de-activate the CPU to install the GPU, the activation is good for both and you can install both (in 2 different folder) and create shortcuts to use either. As for the resolution, must be a bug and we will address this. But, did you first stop the render and place it in performanc...

Hello Rick,

I have reset your activation code so you should not have any problems to activate now.

Can you please give me more details and screen shots? What do you mean render a flat image? This is suppose to be for 3D objects not 2D.

I have replied.

Let me reply to you via email again, make sure yo check your spam/junk box...

You are welcome.

I just opened the model and from the Sketchup "VIew" menu, I selected "Section Planes" and there they are, a bunch of them, like more than a dozen...

BW does save the date returned by the server. However, if the file is auto-generated via a script like PHP then the date will be the time of the download.

I totally understand and I'm glad you're back into modeling, hope this year is better than the last!

1. Added a "More..." menu item in the render resolution to directly access many known resolution formats for 4:3, 16:9, 16:10 and 2:1 ratio. 2. Remembers the last OpenGL settings. 3. Added a list of light objects in the Emitter material editor so you can turn ON/OFF individual lights that uses the s...

yes it should, well, it uses the date the server returns. If the file is from a PHP script for example, it more likely have the date it was generated (the date the picture was viewed).

...and you have the Sun + Sky on top of that.

With 112 lights, it'll take more to update. Mine took 5 min to update with 48 lights. You need to look at the % at the bottom, next to the Free memory, it would be like "This frame: 35%". Do you need that many lights? Combine the emitting faces that are clustered together into a group, say, 6 in a g...

One quick observation... My skp2019 say that there are problems with some edges, fix them? I said yes. Isn't your skp2017 say the same? 1. Your "Aluminum" material is set to 50% Reflection and 10% Shine, make the Shine 0% because the two together in some occasions will loop, there is no need for shi...

Can you send me the CFG file?

Lets take it one step at the time, lets see how it goes for me. Which version of Sketchup did you save your model with?

This is not something we can fix via phone or TV. The best is for you to PM me your SKP file and I'll export it, render it and see exactly what the problem is and fix it.
