The Pro and Ultra have great performance, but the standard ones (which was mentioned here) are still tiny integrated things that have have the throughput of even the most entry level discrete cards.
I think it was a comment that TCV runs ok even on minimum spec machines, rather than a comment on the machine itself.

Architectural models are typically not organised/otimised in a way that is performant for most GPUs (especially if you try to compare them to a videogame for example which uses the same tech).

despite the fact that it is impossible to correlate materials, a very good program, its so simple as sketchup & in my opinion this should be basic way developing tcv,
thanks a lot for such usefull, simple, quick & FREE render plugin

It would be nice to be able to have more control and to be able to configure the materials used on sketchup.

it’s not the main focus point right now. If i had a request about materials, before the “long term inclusion of SU materials”, it would be the ability to turn off and on the automatic bump that TCV seems to create on some materials.

at times, i’d rather have a flat su-like photo than a weird auto generated bump.

Probably doable as a visual setting. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you for your kind support. The team working on this is extremely agile, so we will certainly publish features and fixes as we get them done.

Ok, it has been a while since the initial release. I blame AI for that, but if you are attending Trimble Dimensions in November, come check out the presentation I am doing.

Anyway, I am happy to announce that there is now a new version of the Trimble Connect Visualizer extension available for Windows. Mac version to follow as soon as I find another hour or so in my calendar to do the Mac build.

A very technical change log:

  • Gamepad controller speed change.
  • Optimized the linear to gamma a bit more: roughly 50% faster.
  • Gamma correction optimized for CPUs with asymmetric cores.
  • Increased screenshot resolution to 8k + 4k.
  • Birds eye mode initial version (toggle with F5), useful for Collaprime cave systems.
  • Fix for gamepad not being able to look directly down.
  • Fixes for rebar endings.
  • A lot of performance and memory optimizations.

Enjoy.

there is notification on SU to update TCV, but when I try update SU always crashes & only solition force quiet SU, but plugin not updated

59

Hmm, maybe try to manually uninstall it first, and then reinstall it from SU warehouse. Process for Visualizer might have been locked during upgrade?

I delete & install again & it updated & works, thanks
