Twilight render templates

The Bump ' Size ' is a multiplier that controls how big the bump effect will be. With your material loaded in the editor, select one of the Glass Templates To simulate water, you may want a smooth, wave-like texture When changing the color or texture of the image, pay attention to the Alpha value. Alpha, or Transparency, must be set appropriately to achieve a transparent effect. Note: when applying a Glass Template, Twilight Render will usually automatically adjust the alpha value of your SkechUp material!

Friday, January 14, Need Licensing Help? Twilight Render materials are based on the concept of Templates, preconfigured materials that are easily adjustable to achieve a desired effect. Which edition do you use or recommend? Thank you for the great tutorial.

Thanks for your comments…: AhmaD, if you have a Twilight render licence, you can easily render at and more. Hi FRederic, congrats.

Why do you use twilight render instead of vray for sketch up? Thank you for the tut. Could you help me? Frederic…would love to see more of your work.. You have very, very good skills. Could you share some example scene? Fred thankyou for providing such a great tutorial.. I actually have the same question as Usman about the materials missing. Also, do you have an online portfolio that speaks to this workflow of SketchUp and Twilight? Good job! And so inspiring… Tks so much..

You must be using the demo version of Twilight Render. The demo version is limited by x pixel maximum resolution…. They are not in skp. Thank you. Nice tutorial! I wonder how you manage your library? Or do you print your thumbnails? In our latest maintenance update for Twilight Render 2. With the installation of Twilight Render Pro, v2.

With the new release of Twilight Render V2. This AddOn allows you to create custom landscapes, edit Location Snapshots, and create awesome terrain textures to make the perfect setting for your models and designs.

Render-to-Texture Available Now!! It's as simple as that! Now, depending on whether you are using a licensed version of Twilight Render Pro or using the Hobby version, how the imported material is displayed will be different.

If you are using the Hobby version, the Template Material editor will render a preview of the new material, just like normal. Instead of editing controls, however, you will see a message that your selected material can only be edited using the Deep Material editor, available only to licensed Pro users. You must upgrade to Twilight Render V2 Pro to make any edits to an imported material. If you are using a licensed Pro version, the Deep Material editor will automatically open unless it was already open and your imported material data will be displayed in the editor.

From there you can make any edits to the imported material. Note that any edits you make will only affect your current SketchUp scene; edits do not affect the original material library! Importing is very simple and can open up a lot of very unique and useful materials.

Material libraries are available from several locations on the internet. We recommend libraries available from our user forum obviously as well as libraries from the Kerkythea website. Please note that we can not maintain, repair, or update any libraries from any place including the Kekythea website other than our forum and website. Libraries can and some do contain badly created materials, enormous texture files, and other issues that make the library difficult or impossible to use. Once you have downloaded a material library, you need to decide where to put it.

Unlike V1, where libraries where required to be in a specific system folder, you can place your libraries anywhere, and organize them however you like. For best performance, we recommend placing material libraries in an easy-to-find location, in a folder separate from other files.

Place your download library in the folder you have chosen. If your library is a ZIP file the file extension is. Typically on Windows, right click and choose 'Extract All'. On OSX, typically you can double click the file to extract it. That's all it takes to get the material library ready to use. But before we can use it, we have to tell Twilight Render where to find it. In the Options window, select Directories. On this Option's page, you can add multiple folder locations where Twilight Render will search for Material Libraries.
