This month's featured images used the following Podium Browser components, as well as several other pieces of Browser furniture, vegetation, and materials.

 New Browser Category: Interior studio models

We've just uploaded three complete interior models to Podium Browser, including a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. These models are configured with Podium material properties and arranged with selected exterior assets from Browser. Our interior studios are an excellent base to practice with, or for testing your interior assets, furniture, and design ideas with high quality lighting and materials.

These are available in the "Full 3D Models" category in Podium Browser, and can also be downloaded externally from our Studio Models page. Downloads from the models page include four SketchUp scenes, setup for Day, Night, Panoramic Day, and Pano Night.

 SU Podium V2.5.5 has been officially released:

SU Podium V2.5.5 Plus is now an official release - V2.5.5 has been moved out of Beta, and the final build is available on the Podium download page. This is a free update for anyone who is already using V2.5.x. and includes several new features and bug fixes:

• Improved "Generate Script" tool with relative file paths. Read more.
• Defringe feature in PIE for cleaner edges on transparent backgrounds.
• Upload directly to the Panorama Server from PIE - Upload and share without leaving SketchUp.
• Preset comparison page - We have created an interactive preset comparison page that will be accessible from the options dialog in v2.5.5. This page will be a helpful resource for anyone learning how presets work in SU Podium, and uses a "slide-to-compare" widget to demonstrate the differences between any two presets for seven different lighting examples.
• Important bug fixes - The "Unknown symbol" error which was causing Podium to rotate the camera unpredictably, and occasionally render black images has been fixed.
