Neath 3D Product Details


If you are reading this, then you have either just bought, or are considering purchasing the Neath set of components for SketchUp.
If you have purchased already, then thank you for your support, and feel free to create imagery and share it.
Feel free to tell others about how you created it as well.  The more support, the more chance for additional component sets in the future.


If you are considering purchasing, then there are a few things to bear in mind;
1.    No previous 3D modelling experience required - The tutorials available will walk you through the simple use of these components.  Head here to download the tutorial: https://monkeyblooddesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Tutorial-Neath-3D-Mapping-Tutorial-r5.pdf
2.    SketchUp Make - You will need to download and install SketchUp Make to use these components.  Don’t worry - it’s FREE (for non–commercial purposes) and its available for Windows and Mac - head here; http://www.sketchup.com/products/sketchup-make, or search the Internet for ‘SketchUp Make’.
3.    PC Specification - The better your PC, the more fluid your use of these components will be - SketchUp is, after all, a 3D graphics program.  Your PC must meet the minimum specifications for SketchUp Make.  The SketchUp Make 2014 hardware and software specifications can be found here : http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/36208
4.    Photo-realistic Renders - Map views can be Exported as 2D image files once created, and used as things like visuals, dungeon plans, battlemaps, or just plain art.  If you want to get some photo-realistic renders of your images, then get the fantastic Visualizer plug-in rendered from here : https://getvisualizer.com.  This is now FREE, but only works with SketchUp Make versions 2015 or earlier!!
5.    Licensing - The components and textures are not to be distributed.  This also means by sharing the .skp files created (even via the online SketchUp 3D Warehouse).  The images you create from the models you make are free for distribution as you require (commercial and non-commercial use).  We would ask you to read the license file in the distributed .zip file if you require further information.


Questions?


What can I do with these components?
Most role-playing games rely on the need to create or use dungeon and cavern maps for their games.
The pens and paper come out and the GM will draw out the maps they need.  This set of components put the tools in the hands of the GM to create FAST 3-dimensional maps and generate the views of the map that they need for their game.


You can use them for the following;
    Build them for use as role-playing game aids;
 --  Create visuals of perspective views, player’s eye visuals, top down maps, sectional views, etc.
 --  Create images for preparing Battlemaps (requires graphic editing software, such as Gimp (free), Photoshop, etc).
    Build for fun.


So, what's in the set?
The set currently contains 176 separate components arranged into grouped folders, and distributed as a .zip file.  The .zip file contains a number of grouped folders;
1.    Caverns - A collection of components for making caverns.
2.    Dungeons - A collection of components for making dungeons.
3.    External - A collection of components for making external areas (outside areas) which include entrances.
4.    Furniture - A collection of components for furnishing your maps, such as doors, statues, sarcophagi, etc.
5.    Premade - A collection of pre-made components for you to drop straight into your maps.  These are generally made using the other existing components.

Each folder contains a number of .skp files (SketchUp’s native file format), each of which are individual components.

Is this supported any longer? Will these files work in the latest version of Sketchup 2024?

Hi Carl, Thanks for your message.
The components are simply .skp files so can also be used with SU2017 no problem.
The renderer (Visualizer) I use which I mention in the info document is not supported in SU2017 though, so that's worth bearing in mind. Twilight Render might be a good substitute for the same effct though :)
Many thansk,
Glynn

Are these still compatible with the basic/free/personal sketchup as found below, please?

Hi Matt,

I've not personally tested it, but you can download these taster files to try out:
https://monkeyblooddesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Neath-Taster-r1.zip

It's worth bearing in mind that the free renderer I use (Visualiser) is only supported in SketchUp 2015 and prior.

Also, these are the latest product details and tutorial files, which will possibly look different in the interface version you have for the latest version. I also suspect some features may not work in the free version.
Tutorial: https://monkeyblooddesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Tutorial-Neath-3D-Mapping-Tutorial-r5.pdf
Product Information: https://monkeyblooddesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads/2018/11/Product-Info-Neath-3D-Components-for-SketchUp-r5.pdf

I'm also pretty sure you would be able to find the SketchUp 2015 download out there. I may even have one lurking around if you get stuck.
I hope that's useful.

Many thanks,...See more

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
