I'm nobody, but I'm here ;). Just waiting quietly for a usable RC with an updated SU plugin. But I'm not holding my breath...

neill,

I struggled with bump maps too. I still don't really understand the logic behind how they work with the SU plugin settings, but with Sheik's help I was able to get them to work. Try these steps and see if it works for you:

1. paint face with SU texture.
2. Select face and set as Diffuse material.
3. With face still selected, pick Bump Map and select same jpeg for bump map.
4. Go back to Maps > Set Maps > set SketchUp map type to diffuse and enter a bumping strength of say 100 or so. Enter a negative bump value if the part of the bump you want to recede is white.
Export and it should work, I hope ;)

Still here. Not much to comment on before we have a new plugin, which I have hear we will have for RC5.
Dizzlewizzle, how did that mystical hotel project finally turn out?

just hope the SU plug works as quick as before...
question btw: will saved su objects with previous MR settings work in new version, or will we have to redo all settings on all objects ( aaaargh)

I'm still waiting in anticipation of RC5 but with little hope that it will have the SU plug-in.

In the interim I'm checking the VRay site to see how far they are with their SU plug-in!

Hi Burkhard

No News on VRay yet but still checking once a week. Maybe someone with forum access can find out more for us?

Hi messire

VRay for SU was announced a couple of weeks ago and their website but I have not seen anything yet.

It would be nice to have some alternatives to MR!
