Visualizer for SketchUp Pro 2019

Extensions
1

I want to download Visualizer for Sketch Up Pro 2019. Extension Warehouse has Visualizer but appears to be only for versions up to 2015. Is there anything else I can use or a new version?
Thanks

Visualizer development was discontinued after 2015, so there won’t be an update. My team switched over to Twilight Render, which is very similar and very affordable.

Thanks monospaced for your advice. Appreciate it. JC

This is the only link it took me to when I typed in Twilight Render in Extension Warehouse it tok me
to

then

499$ (very affordable?) WOW
When I have to dig this far to find a price it already makes me weary

You may have typed “Twilight Render,” but you ultimately selected a different program completely. Twilight Render is not in the Extension Warehouse.

Here you go. Buy

Thanks you “Monospaced” for redirecting me instead of Mr Box
(hope his computer hasn’t burned down yet)
as we here in Canada have a heart.
And yes, I am over the new fifty.
That looks more "affordable.
Will install a.s.a.p
Thanks

Believe it or not, $99 is affordable in the rendering world. As you probably know there are many more that are far more expensive and more powerful. This one you pay just for what you need and not everything else. Hope it works out.

Too close for comfort in my book.

Thanks Mate
Well I hope you have a Billabong close and water hoses and pumps ready.
Or many of these cheab big plastic or metal drums with as mush stores water as you can .
Metal foil streched ove the house like a tent can help.
Having many OZ friends and my godchildren there makes me very weary.
A friend farmer 400km up from Sydney is just installed a 500m underground water pipe to his big Billabong attached to an UNDERGROUND (protected) generator at great cost of labour.He has to move trees last year and the caterpillar man just ripped the pipes also and they were simply running by elevation and pressure. I hope it works out he is around 45km from fires has cows and orchid green houses…its all their livelihood at stake
So coo mate stay safe

Hello
I don’t really know what I need when I read the several option on hand
Is there a BUNDLE price?
So which one replaces the same “render looks” of the VISUALIZER thanks for letting me know
at this time I won’t need VR as I still am battling to get to renderings
Thanks
Vic

If you’re not sure what you need, why not just download the Twilight ‘Hobby’ (free) version and use that until it no longer fills your needs? There are no restrictions on pro usage or image size, and no watermark on the rendered image.

I had started with Visualizer a few years back, then when they discontinued development I switched to the free Twilight version. I’ve used it since and it is very capable as is.

In the past months I upgraded to the Pro version (taking advantage of a half-price offer) — but it was using the Hobby version for a while that allowed me to understood what the additional Pro capability really meant.

EDIT: Here is the TWL downloads page: Downloads

Start with Twilight Render Pro. Everything else is an add-on. Or do what @db11 here said and try out the hobby version. That’s probably all you need for now unless you’re doing commercial work.

I am searching for visualizer too. That was a beautiful engine. Sadly at the end I installed Sketchup 2015 just to use visualizer.

Hello

Anyone knows, will the 2015 render a file saved in 2019?
Thanks

Save the SketchUp file as a 2015 version from 2019 so it’ll open in SU2015.

Thank you so much
I installed the Hobby version.
Now I need to learn to make the materials look more real
Still can’t figure out how to make my water and window glass transparent
But it’s a start again.
I like the mesh over the tennis court REND_Pool_BOG2X_41 WITH fountain LAKE_B_for_new_1stWATERjumpTEST_Scene 64

Hi I am totally new to “Twilight HOBBY” (At times) it gives bizarre rendering results.
I am NO specialist!
It brings curves in a basic start up rendering attempts
I put the glass alpha channel at 8% only
how much must one set it to be nearly clear.
I must admit most if not all of my glass planes in SketchUP
don’t have thickness as I get rather drawn into the look of a building concept.
I wish I’d knew how to add a minimal thickness to (all similar materials) in a few clicks, is there a way?
I normally apply SketchUP materials such as glass, rocks etc.
I guess this affects a lot of things for a start listening to the tutorial
who says that so many things need to be correct and have bevelled edges etc

Thanks

But it would take so much time to correct all thicknesses from scratch.

Hello I am new to TW V2 Hobby since this week end. I have been using Visualizer a bit before.

I have building concepts in SKU but most are the outer shell only. So my glass are only faces without depth.
I am self taught and over 50. Till now, I used the SKU glass with the cloud reflecting.

I watched 'Fletch TW videos" and switched to grey and now appreciate that pattern is terribly wrong.
I have tried to get a mirror like reflective glass that looks grey, pink or blue like mountain crystal.

What are the most popular alpha settings versus glass to get a partial transparency?

I have tried 1.000 0.7500 0.500 and can’t seem get the normal blue tinted SKY glass material to get transparent.

Only once I had that dark blue partially transparent but could not recall that particular setting.

If the picture is saved in SketchUP after that rendering is done does it safe that setting also?
Is there a way to save “settings”?

So I switched to the mirror material (the one with a white streak in it) and it looks a bit better
but still I can’t get any transparency.
The only one I got looked very weird with all the floors like skin tones although they are originally grey
[attachment=0]0-6.jpg[/attachment]and the facades are gone.
AND how does one recall a very good setting result .

My sample with the red cloud reflections is done with photoshop
I don’t know where to look to set up a reflection from the camera (opposite) side?.
I have disabled the edges in Sketchup
how to get partial softer lines the thinnest ones I get is only when I screenshot a picture while activating the move button, within that millisecond before it refreshes.
I know these are many questions at once.
But in advance thank you to any advice. 00_CRYSTALrainbow
