I am most proud of Artisan (commercial) and SkIndigo (free).
Which of your plug-ins are you most proud of, both free and commercial? Now, I have written about nine plugins altogether.
However, once I got into it, I was hooked. It was quite a challenge since I had no knowledge of Ruby or the SketchUp API at the time, plus, I had very little formal programming education (something that still holds me back to this day). Therefore, I decided to try writing an exporter myself (which of course became SkIndigo). I immediately loved both of these applications but there was no way to render from SketchUp to Indigo. At the time, I was toying with the idea of starting a visualization side business and I stumbled onto SketchUp and Indigo Renderer. I started my first plug-in, SkIndigo, in 2005. How long have you been developing and writing SketchUp plug-ins for?
Writing plug-ins has allowed me to continue my programming interest in a fun and relaxing way where I have the freedom to develop whatever I want. I probably started programming around the age of 8 or 9 but (for some weird reason) I decided not to pursue it in college. When did you first become interested in writing plug-ins?Ī big part of me always wanted to become a computer programmer. I have a degree in Civil Engineering and was a Structural Engineer for about 8 years up until May 2011 after which I decided to pursue a new career in the 3D visualization industry and also devote more time to writing SketchUp plug-ins. Please introduce yourself and tell us bit about yourself and your background?Ĭurrently, I live in a small town in Saskatchewan, Canada called Hepburn.
