I can't tell you much about that without seeing the model. The first thing to check would be: is the CPU doing work, or not? Secondly, what happens if you re-start SketchUp and render again -- the same thing, or different? If the same, what is the exact sequence of events that occurs when you open the Maxwell Fire window?

CPU doesnt work much. No slow down of system like it used to be.
I tried restart SketchUP/whole system. Still the same.

Sequence is:
> synchronisation
> loading textures
> something (too fast to read)
> processing <name of component)
> writing <name of component>

(in maxwell window)
normal sequence what is used to be... voxellisation etc.

I think that its something wrong with terrain (many polygons). When i turn it off, rendering process starts without any problems. Ill try to make brand new terrain using sandbox tools (mostly, after rendering im using gimp to finish render ;p)

Anyway - if u want, i can send u on email that 'bad' copy of model.

Just a guess: are you using displacement on your terrain? If so, what happens if you just put a plain color on it?

Yeah, i wanted to get 3d grass ;p
Just tried to make it flat, and everything works fine.

That's what I figured; so when it says that it is rendering, that's exactly what it is doing. It may not be obvious, but displacement involves a lot of math (or memory, in the case of pretesselated displacement), and personally, I would never try to use it for such a purpose.

Thanks guys!
That grass maker plugin is very useful thing
Till this time, sometimes i made grass with same way, but manually. It was painfull thing ;p

And one more question - is there any plugin, which allow me to 'sculpture' in SketchUp models? I dont know how to exactly explain... hmm.. u know, to make wrinkles on face, or other 'organic' shapes?

Sure: http://artisan4sketchup.com/

It's not free but it is very good.

Best,

[pawels89]

Thats exactly what i wanted to have
Thank you.

Artisan is the best choice. More simple is Subdivide and Smooth at Smustard.com, but this one can help too
