No more PNG rendering with the new version

Hi guys,

since I updated to the latest version of AmbientOcclusion I experienced that imorted PNGs disappear once you hit the „render“ button.
I use the latest version of Sketchup. Usually I use Sketchup to create 3D sceneries that includes corporate logos (png & jpg) from companies - like branding plans. I used AmbientOcclusion to then make it look more realistic for the clients.
Now with the newest version no pngs or jpgs will be shown in the renderings anymore. Which is a huge problem for what I mainly use it.

Do I have to enable any unknown option or whatsoever to make pngs appear again like in the older version of AmbientOcclusion?

Thank you in advance!

Dear Daniel,
We’re going to publish a new version of AmbientOcclusion soon and we can have a look at the issue before the release. Can you please send us a simple project where you’re experiencing this problem?
Thanks

Hi Alberto,
thank you so much. I wanted to attached a simple sketch file but it didn’t work here. So I attached jpgs of the project and the outcome in AO. The model includes 3 imported pngs. They will not be shown in AO renderings no matter what mode you choose.

I also attached a jpg of what I was capable to render with the previous version of AO - all logos & colored design items are pngs or jpgs. It worked just perfect.

Would be so great if you can fix this issue so I can continue using your great tool.

Thanks a lot.



Hi Daniel,
I’ve sent you a PM with the instructions to send us the project. We’ll find a solution ASAP.
