Magic Gradients - Skill Builder

[@josephreaddy4283]

I've been using sketchup for twenty years now and it is a vital part of my work flow. I never thought about trying this and I'm so glad that there is a community of users who shares knowledge like this.

[@Terpinado]

This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedivere! I've been using it to make lamp glow effects on walls, with the transparency to the outside and lowering the opacity to 65%. And shift-erasing the circle edge, of course.

[@Benham_Design]

These are the tips I love, it gives me ideas to work different things into my designs

[@MattRitzman]

Interesting idea. This could work for faking diffuse shadows.

[@keggyification]

That was cool, nice one Aaron. Thanks for sharing.

[@JJSierra]

Great trick. Great video. Thanks. Keep them coming.

[@scottwhittaker8967]

Great for mirrors when you reflect a duplicate model / room behind the gradient

[@pierre.a.larsen]

I liked that - it is a novel idea for me. I am not sure right now when I will use it. But I am sure it will come in handy one day. Thanks!

[@raypipe3211]

Another great tip! Thanks Aaron! Where can I get this Gradients?? THX

[@OlavSchneider]

You guys need to develop a gradient smart material, now that would be something.

[@triumfdula8830]

Hi, can you advice the best free plugin to reshape (deform) objects ?

[@artist1712]

can make light with gradient??

[@DayTripperLennon]

On Windows now? Nice! I recently switched after using Mac since 2009.

[@JohnColgan.]

Can a gradient be applied to a solid shapes to create a Greyscale Gradient image for 3D Carve or 3D print?

[@adelmmpp4360]

If we do this to an spherical object, wich result we can have?

[@RenatoGarcia1000]

I use this to emulate led strip lights without rendering

[@bobd.]

Interesting. When you made the circle with 24 segments, if you had made the first one a component wouldn't that have made changes easier by allowing you to edit one and the change be reflected in the other 23 segments? This would apply to the square you constructed from the four triangles too.

[@aarondietzen2995]

That would be the way to do it! Especially important if you ever need to make changes or fix mistakes… which I never di. I mean, I never do.

[@bobd.]

@@aarondietzen2995 You never do, your SU skills are killer. I wish I could do a tenth of what you do so effortlessly. I'll get there, still new to SketchUp.

[@Fernainy1]

How can I get this MTL ?

[@pcatful]

I just have a rectangular prism in my template.It's always the first thing I draw so why not?

[@kentolsen2712]

Gradient Library?? 🙃 this should be a thing inside SketchUp.

[@kentolsen2712]

with links to theses helpful tips

[@S_G_B]

How come materials are starting to delete themselves on my model, Have I run out of memory?

[@gusbert]

This sounds like a question which should be posted in the SketchUp Forums. You need to say what version of SU you are using, which OS and if possible post the model itself.

[@junioanjos3780]

Aula top!!

I am too sober for tNice tutorials, I'll be back later..
