Hi, Yes there is a need of an internet connection and yes the error message is really bad. There should be an update of the extension soon to improve the message as well as some small bugfixes and LCC2 support.

Hi, Yes, I’ve tried the spz format. It won’t work either.

Does not work at all for me. When trying to display a splat even the example ones SketchUp crashes to desktop. I changed all settings I could find with no result.

Hi, Could you tell me: your version of GS extension your version of Sketchup could you record your loading of a sample and open the ruby console so that I can see if something is written on it also, could you check in your %TEMP% folder files looking like this (GS_INIT_LOG.TXT, SU_SPLAT_INIT_FAIL…

It makes me think, I need to investigate the relighting part as well. Lots of wonderful ideas to look a…

Hi, I just released the new version. Could you try it and let me know if it works for you now or if you still have an issue ? Best, YS
