I would like to see a way to get SketchUp lines into Enscape when using the Outlines feature. What I mean by this, for example, would be like a floor tile pattern thats drawn in SketchUp - I would like to be able to maybe put on a certain layer or give the line a property through a right click to tell Enscape to show that line as an edge. I know there are workaround for this using pipe plugins, etc. But I have a lot of floor patterns in my model and it would be a good deal of added geometry. Ideally I would use a texture with a bump map, etc. But this issue occurs in many instances where we just model lines to represent edges and it would be nice to have them show up in Enscape.
why dont you export sketchup linework and use multiply blend in PS?
if the view is not 2 point perspectives then both render output should match just fine. if its 2 points then theres workaround but at the moment only works prior to 2.6 update
I agree it would be nice to have an option for Enscape to show linework. It’s a low-priority +1 from me. There are other issues that have no workarounds at all.
As @whack says above, it’s pretty easy to add in post, but it can end up taking a lot of extra time, especially when you have a batch of images and the clients keep changing things. It gets very tedious to go to Photoshop for every image.
I just make a very thin face that I push and make a component that cuts (ie push it in a1/2") and then stretch that to width and copy for grout lines or reveals etc.. So there is physical depth there but still very easy to move and edit. I just “scale” it to transform length (or width)
Doesn’t work until we get a 2pt perspective pan fix (see my other thread about this issue). Also, I would like to see these lines in VR, so post is a no-go.
Nice trick, but I am looking for a way to show grout lines in a floor that is just made up up SketchUp faces and I have a lot of flooring patterns to accomplish this with.
Another trick I use is to create the skp grout lines with lines in your floor or whatever.. put it on a separate layer so you can isolate it.. go to plan view parallel projection and export a jpg of just that. Then apply that as a material. You can also edit in pshp further if you want.
I use that a lot if there is a specific terra cotta tile pattern or something I want to use. Make in in skp with lines is really simple then export the jpg that I then place as a material.
@ValeroStudio , @andybot , thanks - this has been requested before, so there is of course a feature request filed in return already. I’ll add your upvotes and feedback!
