I can attest to newer Geforce cards.  I have a 470 from last year, and it runs like a champ.  MIGHT end up going to a dual card setup, but that’s caused more by “Battlefield 3” than work…

Can anyone recommend me a video card to be able to work on Sketch up, photoshop, illustrator and CAD? I am getting a new computer and wanted to see the minimum requirements I should have to support all those software.

Thank you

Hy everybody¡¡ what about the shaderlight ?

Dear Zach,,,,Thank you very much for such valuable information,,,one more question ,,,Is there are many differences between the free version and payable one ?,,,,best regards,,,,kiwan

In regards to the first comment about the program operating very slow, I would guess that either there are so many objects in the file that it is making the program run slow, or hardware on your computer such as your CPU and/or your Memory are not fast enough for the program.  In regards to the CAD to Sketchup, Google removed that option in the…[Read more]

Dears,,,,I am facing problem in sketch up 8,,,in moving cursor ,,,,and very slow,,,to rotate or flipping the models ,,is this problem cause i am using free version ,,,and i can not to import the CAD,s FILES ,,,,,PLZ ADVICE ,,,

Daniel,
I like the Dynascape SketchUP.  Is the Dynascape easy to work with using their SketchUP landscape SketchUP plant materials? 

Looking good as always Daniel! My only complaint is the people, in that I hate them, in that I don’t have them. I’ll send you some of my newer stuff today to see what you think.

What rendering tool did you use for that model?

Does anyone have an opinion about the value of Dynascape for SketchUp – the plant library in particular?

Thanks David and Bayazit.
I’ll have to check out some of those plug-ins, and while I’m at it I have to get V-Ray.
I’d love to see some samples of 3rd party plug-ins.

Hi Hefti,
 
you can find some examples at my DA Gallery 3D Jobs folder. Most of the recent works are produced with 3D vegetation, a combination of pre-made models, self-models used via proxies and rendered with MentalRay or Vray. Hopefully, they can give some idea.
 

Question: anyone have some pictures of examples of vegetation done in 3Ds?
 

Hey Daniel – I have a quick (hopefully) question. I tried to create a shade structure, but I can’t seem to figure out how to control the direction the fabric is taking. On the attached SU file, I would like the fabric to have a downward curve (showing the gravity) and instead I have an upward curve. Is there a quick way of changing the curve……[Read more]

oh late night 3ds what would i do without you?

coolio fox. i started a discussion about it on the main page… if you have any thoughts post em up, if you want to make it happen say something to that effect i want the discussion board to get the word out beyond the group.
 

I’m in

hello everyone. i would like to make this competition a reality, if anyone would like to help: set up the framework for the competition, gain attention of land8lounge, gather prizes, ect… i could really use the help as i am working on finishing my thesis currently. PLEASE let me know if you are interested. thanks -michael

i think we should have different scales and classes
 

Hey Dave. One way would be to map appropriate landform/vegetation/sky images to a curved background similar to these at SCF. You could also do a search for sky dome at SCF or in the 3D Warehouse. If you intend to fly right up to the edge of the TIN, you might also need to extend the surface out a ways to meet at the image. By matching the…[Read more]
