Do items that you want to emanate light need to be a Sketchup 'group', or can you just do 'faces'? I'm struggling trying to get 'flames' for fire to look like they are lit. Everything I try to turn…Continue

Does iRender have strip LED lighting yet, or do I have to make one from scratch?Continue

Awhile ago (last summer maybe?), the rendering output would be a small image on the screen when I selected 'small', a little larger when I selected ' medium', and so on. Now when I do a…Continue

Self Glow Items
Do items that you want to emanate light need to be a Sketchup 'group', or can you just do 'faces'? I'm struggling trying to get 'flames' for fire to look like they are lit. Everything I try to turn into a light is real bright. You have a step by step tutorial on the website that has a fire place in the pool room, but the 'self-glow' part is a little different than the version I am working with. Is there a video tutorial of the 'pool house' one?See More
Rich Hart replied to Phil's discussion LED Strip Lighting
"The closest thing we have is our Linear Lighting choice, to use for strip lighting to distribute the light more evenly.
if you need something that would show the individual LED lights, you would have to make one from scratch."

"Ahhh!!! Found it. Thanks! And with respect to workflow, the toggle is fine, but thanks for asking."
Rich Hart replied to Phil's discussion Small Rendering Images
"That's the toolbar in SketchUp. That button isn't located there.
I was referring to the toolbar in the "rendering window", that appears once you start rendering."
Rich Hart replied to Phil's discussion Small Rendering Images
"You don't have this button in the render window, to switch to 1:1 mode?"
Phil replied to Phil's discussion Small Rendering Images
"Thanks Rich, but I can't find the buttons you describe. My version is SH23nxt 2019.0."
Rich Hart replied to Phil's discussion Small Rendering Images
"The rendering window has a button on the toolbar to toggle between filling the window with the rendered image and showing the image in 1:1 mode.
We did change the default to be the "Fill Window" mode some time ago, since the…"

Small Rendering Images
Awhile ago (last summer maybe?), the rendering output would be a small image on the screen when I selected 'small', a little larger when I selected ' medium', and so on. Now when I do a rendering, all settings result in a full screen image with only the resolution being affected by 'small', 'medium', 'large', etc.When did this change, or am I doing something wrong?Thanks, PhilSee More
Rich Hart replied to Phil's discussion Computer Equipment Question
"My laptop fan sometimes gets really loud when rendering also, but I've had the computer overheat.
IRender nXt just uses the CPU, so the computer has to try to keep it cool during processing.
It might help keep things cool if you set…"

Computer Equipment Question
My computer fan’s speed increases when I start a rendering. About halfway through the rendering however, it increases dramatically to the point that it is so loud I feel like it is overloading the system to the point that I cancel out of the rendering. I’m on an HP system with a 2.50 GHz Intel Quad Core CPU with 8G ram. Is the issue purely related to the processor?See More
Rich Hart replied to Phil's discussion HDRi Image Renderings
"The rendering window always stretches or shrinks the rendering to the size of the rendering window, so you can see the whole image display as it's rendering.
You can then use this button to toggle between the the resized view or the actual 1:1…"
Phil replied to Phil's discussion HDRi Image Renderings
"Thanks Rich. My problem was that when I select the HDRi sky + background setting, the ‘Sky’ setting is off. Once I click it, the shadows appear.
I have noticed however that the settings for my Render Image Size don’t seem to…"
