GTX 1080 users:
If you go to the download link, you will find Presto dlls for GTX1080 at the very end of 1.5.07 section. You have to replace existing dlls with the new in:
"C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 20__\SketchUp\Plugins\Thea4SU_files\plugins\presto\.."
Install the plugin first and then to the replacement.

thanks !
PSD is a great add!

PSD is working well, really excited until... I wish Giannis would fix the AO channel in Presto so its not rendering reflections, having to render the AO on its own is nuts and defeats the object of a single file
ie this:

great update
would it be possible to ad 16bit or 32bit option for the PSD file,,, now it is 8bit.
Not 100% sure but i guess that with a higher bit we will get a better color range / spectrum,,,, pleas correct me if I am wrong...

[JQL]

You're right about the color range.

If you need higher bit depth why don't you use multilayer EXR export. It's there for exactly that reason.

You may not own ProEXR, I would also request a 16bit or 32bit PSD option.

I dont have ProEXR or similar so would love to have the option for 16 or 32 bit.
I wanted to use and render out different channels for a long time and tried EXR but never got it to work with photoshop (with free plugins), now we have PSD export with layers it is supper easy and free.

Sorry, I didn't know you had to own ProEXR.

In the meantime you could try Krita... It deals with 32bit EXR files nativelly and it's free.

It has some different workflows to get used to though but it's really good.
