Coming soon - Podium Browser interface changes
Podium Browser interface changes are coming soon. We are getting ready to roll out an updated version of Podium Browser, which incorporates UI changes to make category browsing faster, and also addresses several nagging issues with the licensing system that we were facing behind-the-scenes.
IMPORTANT - To make the change-over as smooth as possible, the two versions of Podium Browser will exist concurrently at first.
Because of the licensing updates, your current license key will not work in the new version of the plugin — it must be "exchanged" for a new serial number.
A separate email will be sent to all licensed Podium Browser users with instructions for exchanging your current license key for one that will work in the updated plugin.
ProWalker v1.1.4 BETA has been released
This is a significant update with several improvements to ProWalker's animation tools and workflow. Additionally, this version fixes the LEM Power mismatch between SU Podium and ProWalker GPU, and adds an "LEM Strength" slider to the lighting interface for making real-time adjustments to light emitting material brightness. Find a full overview of new features beneath the download:
ProWalker can now read date/time information from your SketchUp scenes, allowing for smooth shadow/timelapse animaton!
The following tools and features have been added in the V1.1.4 update:
- Fade and crossfade transitions - Transition smoothly between scenes and motion paths, without the need for an external video editor.
- Animate shadows - ProWalker can now read date/time from your SketchUp scenes, allowing smooth shadow animation to show the passage of time.
- More intuitive control over camera speed - You can now set an exact duration for a motion path instead of using inches/second to set camera speed.
- Keyframe easing - Camera motion can ease-in and ease-out at the beginning and end of a motion path, for smoother camera movements.
- Improved LEM support - Light emitting material brightness now matches SU Podium more closely, and an LEM strength slider has been added.
- Designate render mode, speed, and quality for each keyframe - When rendering animations with multiple motion paths, you can now set the render mode on a per-bath basis. This means you can switch between render modes for different scenes of your video, adjust the sample count/quality for each shot, and speed up/slow down the camera for each path.
Download ProWalker GPU v1.1.4 BETA
As this is a beta release, your feedback is greatly apprecieted, especially if you discover stability issues or something you believe might be a bug. We have set-up a ProWalker beta thread in the forum and will be monitoring closely to answer any questions:
