No doubt this will be an exciting convention in one of the world's great cities, and we hope to see some of you there!

ProWalker v1.1.5 was released this month
SU Podium users can still purchase ProWalker GPU with a 50% off upgrade price until July 31, 2018.
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! Watch a tutorial here.
The following tools and features have been added in the V1.1.5 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.
