BETA Release - Adaptive lighting in panoramas
SU Podium V2.5.804 is available now as a Beta release - This is a free SU Podium update, which includes a new "Adaptive Panorama" function in PIE.
Panorama by Nat Ellis
The feature gives users an option to include an "adaptive lighting" effect when exporting to the Podium Panorama server. Panoramas exported with adaptive lighting turned on dynamically equalize the distribution of light and dark values as you rotate the camera. This can be as subtle or drastic as the user prefers—read more about settings below.

SU Podium V2.5.804/ 704 for SketchUp 2018 and 2017 BETAComing soon - New animation tools in ProWalker GPU v1.2
ProWalker GPU v1.2 is on the near horizon, with several new animation functions, including fade/crossfade transitions, keyframe ease-in/ease-out, and support for shadow animation.
ProWalker can now read date/time information from your SketchUp scenes, allowing for smooth shadow/timelapse animaton!
The following tools and features will be available in the coming 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.
- 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.
Try ProWalker GPU for Windows (NVIDIA GPU strongly recommended).
