This makes it easier and faster to produce future releases. Ending support for all SketchUp versions prior to SketchUp 2015 (圆4) allows reduction of variations by half. Because new versions of SketchUp often are released with new versions of Ruby, the configuration management for plugins is already extensive. If Twilight Render were to continue releasing 32bit versions, it would limit what could be accomplished in future versions.Īdditionally, ending 32bit support simplifies the software configuration management. The major motivation for ending 32bit releases of Twilight Render is that certain software components built into Twilight Render are not available in 32bit, or are difficult to distribute and support. Since SketchUp stopped releasing 32bit versions several years prior, as far back as SketchUp 2015, it seemed a reasonable step to proceed with 64bit (圆4) installations of Twilight Render beginning in 2019. Using Twilight Render on 32 bit (x86) installsīeginning with Twilight Render V2.12, support was dropped for 32bit (x86) installations of SketchUp.
