Another timelapse, 88 hours compressed into 5½ minutes. Appr. 200 degrees FOV horizontally. Pretty interesting to see how the diurnal cycle affects cloud formation

Much improved stitching now. I also added temperature data.

I wish I had a big 4K screen to watch it on.

Dabbling in Sketchup and a rendering plugin.



Any suggestions are welcome.

Finally, I got a decent capture of the elusive green flash. smile
Did a slight increase of the exposure for the still frame, but otherwise unedited and colors are true to what the eye sees.

Some pictures from my recent little getaway.







Have plenty more that I may post later, but this is enough for now.

That graffiti is nothing short of amazing. Enjoyed the airplane views, too!

Ah. The feeling you get when you start making renders of all your models after finally getting a rendering plugin. It feels good, doesn't it.

Anyway, see the bullets? See the circular bottom facing towards the camera? It's really less of a circle and more of a many-sided polygon; SketchUp doesn't make actual circles.

So, my suggestion would be to remake the bullets; I presume you used the follow-me tool to revolve the profile of the bullet around an axis after drawing a circle at the center. Increase the number of sides on the circle so it looks better. Instead of the default 24, which the human brain still perceives as a many-sided polygon, try 48 or 64. These will look more like actual circles. Don't do something like 500 or 1000, since that's just unnecessary. Just select the tool and type in the number of sides, and press enter.

This applies not just to circles, but to curves too. You can increase the sides on the curve tool from the default 12.

Of course, that depends on if you want this to be a small part of a really large model. If you have a plan to make a scene with a million of these bullets, keep the low poly versions, otherwise you will have some major performance issues. However, for this scene you ought to redo them.

Great pictures. I really like the beetle and the purple flower.

Very nice pictures. Second year in a row I haven't seen any fireworks in person.

I wanted to see if sketchup is really that great (because I don't like it that much) and was surprised to find what you can do given patience. I cheated a little by importing a make human model and doing side by side comparisons.
