The SketchUp plugin has undergone a major overhaul. After a thoroughly complex process, we're happy to see it arrive to this stage. The core part of the plugin that uses Flash code - which we were forced to use back when SketchUp didn't support anything else - has now been removed and replaced with a very robust UI. A large portion of this is attributed to the plugin's new node graph editor as you will also now be able to reuse components of Octane Standalone directly inside the SketchUp plugin.
Here's a fresh video by Azen providing an overview of the plugin's node graph editor. For those who have used the former Sketchup Plugin, it's high time to get re-introduced, please do check the video as it shows the new and more intuitive workflow.
