Refreshed links to the latest plugin Beta

The beta plugin download links have been refreshed with the latest plugin. The links are found in the sidebar on the RIGHT.

Run the executable for windows and this will install the plugin in the C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Plugins folder. We are awaiting the API for Sketchup 7 so the plugin only will work with Sketchup 6 and earlier.

You also have to have HyperShot licensed version or the trial version installed.

HyperShot for SketchUp - Norton Motorcycle

Here's the example file in Sketchup: Here it is in after a few minutes in HyperShot. HyperShot makes any Sketchup model look REAL...


Here we import a sketchup model directly from the 3D warehouse. The model is loaded into Sketchup, exported to hyperShot then the BRDF materials are applied with drag and drop. The environment is changed and a background image is loaded to simulate a studio shot. The whole process takes about 5 minutes start to finish.
