geekgirl Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 When i import my complex model, with models from google library the kerkythea does not recognise lights which i have placed in Sketchup and renders the whole screen blank... i am reversing all faces, making sure everything has a thickness...

f700es Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Are you using the light pack from the Kerky web site? Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekgirl Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yes, Kerkythea has worked on basic model for me before, i fear it something to do with my complex model- shall i send it to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I can't check it until tonight as I don't have kerky installed at work Try to use a default kerky light and see if that shows up. You might need to ask this at the kerky forums as it could be something in Kerky instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekgirl Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 I have tried, i'm pretty sure its something to do with sketchup. Like do the groups affect Kerkythea? The imported models etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I don't think groups affect Kerky as I am pretty sure I have used groups before and they worked OK. How big is the SU file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everything in 3D warehouse was created in SU. Most I would say were simply imported into SU and saved as a .skp file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
