Thea Render For Sketchup Crack
Desiree Friede
i am having a problem, the last two days, whenever i click to open the Thea render Plugin in order to render my model, Sketchup crushes!! it gives me the bugsplat reporter, i send the report but nothing happens
Does anybody have an idea of what exactly might be the reason? Is it system based issue? Bad file paths? The developer does not react on my questions. You can find the crash log which I have uploaded to the thread where I was trying to find what was going wrong: -studio-crashes-on-macos-10-12-6-sketchup-pro-2019-3-permanent-license/113362/5
For Enscape I opened the full geometry skp and modified the materials there, and when I use enscape directly in the full geometry file I can see the changes fine. But those changes do not appear when I import the proxy file in another sketchup file.
This is really strange. If the old materials are not in the proxy file anymore, there is no way for SketchUp to get them when importing in another file.
Are you 100% sure you saved the file after changing the materials?
For Thea, you need a .mod.thea file.
By default, Transmutr creates the Thea proxy as an .xml file (and several .mesh.thea files in a subfolder). But when you start Transmutr from within SketchUp and Thea v2.1 (and above) is installed and active, Transmutr will ask Thea to convert the exported .xml file to a .mod.thea file.
Then you can edit the materials in this proxy .mod.thea file like any other .mod.thea file that was exported directly from Thea itself.

I totally agree - Sketchup really bogs down when you start adding complicated tree models, and being able to use proxies is key. I'm not a fan of the totally blank boxes V-ray and others use by default however. Having at least a face-me billboard representation to approximate the look and size of vegetation makes it less of a guessing game with what the final product will look like. (here are some I created awhile back for Thea Render: =93&t=17550) This would be very similar to the way vegetation works in Revit currently. It would be great if Enscape had a library of trees to choose from that one could drag into sketchup as face-me proxies - but also the ability to bring in your own Sketchup or obj. tree models and turn them into proxies as well.
Thanks Thomas, regular billboard support is definitely handy, but primarily just for still images I'd imagine. It would be nice if there were a way to access all the same trees and plants that come with Revit (and show up in 3d within Enscape replaced by your models). The problem is Sketchup doesn't have a standard library of trees the way Revit does. Revit uses ArchVision content I believe - would the same work with Sketchup assuming we have an ArchVision license?
Luckily there are already a lot of 3d Sketchup plant models out there that are pretty decent, and using those seems to work quite well now in Enscape. They're not always the most optimized models, but from the tests I've done, the performance is still quite good even on hi-poly models, see attached.

The thing is that many power users already have libraries of trees from various companies, I have several Evermotion bundles and Xfrog libraries that have been made into proxy's to work with Thea and Vray, so if there was a way Enscape can create a proxy creation system that would be marvelous, and be able to skatter them would be even better,
It could be as simple as Enscape supporting the Ghost Component plugin. =21469 The plugin converts a model to a simple box and lets you toggle back and forth between the ghost (proxy) and the component. It's simply a viewport performance issue with high poly models. I'd be happy with just a very simple.......show the box in Sketchup, but render the model in Enscape. We could then utilize plugins like Skatter, Canvas, Raytracer Spraycan, Component Array, etc. The work is already done for placing the models....we just need the switcharoo.
Finally downloaded the Skatter demo and it's great! It would be awesome if Enscape had support for it. And would it be possible to support V-ray and Thea proxies? That would require reading their model files though - not sure if that's doable.
Potsdam (Germany), January 31, 2017: German digital botany software company Laubwerk today announces release 1.0.23 of their successful Plants Kits, a collection of render-ready, realistic 3D trees designed specifically for architects, CG and VFX artists. The new Plants Kit 10 - Temperate Deciduous Trees - as well as the updates of Plants Kits 1-9, and of the Plants Kit Freebie are immediately available for SketchUp, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Houdini, and Python (Windows).
Plants Kit 10 is a selection of both popular and colorful temperate deciduous trees mainly from Northeastern America and East Asia planted in parks, gardens, or streets including excellent specimen trees with wonderful floral display such as the Yoshino cherry, and Voss's laburnum (golden rain tree) or large, broad-ovate leaved trees such as the foxglove tree 'Lilacina', and Southern catalpa or the London plane tree.
"We are particularly proud to add the excellent Thea Renderer to our lineup of supported renderers for SketchUp, especially since we already support it on our other supported 3D platforms!" says Philip Paar, CEO of Laubwerk. George Gliatis, Graphics Designer at Solid Iris Technologies, is exited about the newly added support for Thea: "Laubwerk Player is an excellent companion to Thea for SketchUp. Thanks to the extensive vegetation library, architectural models can easily get lifelike environments."
Read the full list of improvements and fixes here: -notes. To get the updates, sign in to your Laubwerk Account Page and download a fresh installer of your Plants Kits. Windows users are advised to uninstall previous versions of the Laubwerk Player plugin before running the new installer.
The new Kit 10 and all Laubwerk Plants Kits are each available for 149 Euro (w/o VAT) at the Laubwerk Store and selected Laubwerk resellers. Multi-user and EDU discounts are available. The Plants Kit Freebie is available for download at the Laubwerk Store, too.
Laubwerk Plants Kits allow architects, CG artists, and VFX specialists to insert photorealistic tree models into their 3D scenes quickly and easily, without the usual slow downs due to overly complicated parameters or excess memory usage. Laubwerk accomplishes this goal by giving users just the right amount of variation in their 3D tree models, without overwhelming the user or their computer. Each tree model comes in 3 shapes, with 3 ages, and 4 seasons per shape. Adjustable level of detail settings means that each tree looks great without slow navigation or long rendering times.
Founded in 2010, Laubwerk is a Berlin-born, Potsdam-based CG software company that offers fast and fluent solutions for architects, CG artists, and VFX experts requiring 3D plant models while working with popular 3D software platforms. Laubwerk sets new technical and quality standards with authentic-looking plants that require minimal time and effort while offering maximum detail and control. Laubwerk has customers in more than 100 countries, from small businesses, universities to VFX and architecture corporations such as Foster+Partners, Perkins Eastman, David Chipperfield Architects, The Boundary, Ronen Bekerman, Double Negative, National University of Singapore, Aalto University, Leibniz University Hannover, and ETH Zurich.
