Looks quite ominous really...

Cool. I figured there was a reason I turned it off As I recall it also grouped everything as one big object too which I didn't like because I'd occassionally like to move a car around or make some adjustments in Maxwell. -Brodie

Hi Radiance! I can't wait to see an exporter for LuxRender!!! Contacting Master Whaat seems a reasonable tip to me, as he developed a quite good exporter to Indigo I'd be happy to give you any scene you need: I'm a perfectionist, and I'm pretty convinced that my geometries aren't affected by normals issues or something, so they're ready to render, somewhat.. I usually model archviz scenes, so basically buildings.. Do you need interior or exterior scenes? Good luck Radiance and thanks!

Thanks, seen it now

@vercors said: It should be possible to continue modelling the model I'm rendering while the renderer is still rendering? Erm... I hope you know what I mean. Yes you can @vercors said: It is possible to let an object glow in an other color like red? I was also trying a lavalamp and wanted to have red bubbles. The greater your emitter's power value, the less you'll see its original color. Set a low power, and you should see your red color, provided your emitter is not the sole light source AND you are not using Reinhard tonemapping. Also, check "color" and not "temperature" in the Emitter Attributes. @vercors said: Another question: There should be a photo in the picture frame and the folder should be colored. How did the color disappear? I'd say back face issue or special characters (é è à ç etc.) in the material/image names or folders.

You don't have to buy all of them. But yea, MOI is still a good option.

Kwist Have you installed it and had a play? It obviously needs a bit of refining but it lets you walkaround an SU model in realtime, or as an avatar. The movement is very smooth, the shadows aren't good though. I can see the potential for it though. One of the demo files has a model of a pond in it with an animated displacement map of water, but I couldn't work out how they did that.

Hi again, I had problems ın SU Materials so I converted the file to 3ds and imported the whole model in 3D max.. As SU works wıth the hollow objects in 3dmax the faces somehow ımported inside out.That is why the faces appeared to be black when rendered.. The solution of the problem; 1-Converting the faces by modifying all the objects to normal one by one (Takes hell of a time )) 2-Checking the two sided materials In material editor (Which it did not work when I tried it) 3-I would be please to be informed if you know an other way to fix the problem ... PS: This is the comment/answer based on the prior questions above.. Regards ng

Hi! Newbie here! I been testing TS 7.6 few days now. I think it is a great tool for animating things, UI is pretty "complicated". Lots of tutorials though. Older versions like 5 were good for beginners...

Thanks Pete. The soft shadow button will still result in hard shadows for me. Perhaps it's the ambient light/sun light slider that I need to adjust. For the grass, I'm looking for something that I can use for quick residential projects. A short mowed lawn that doesn't appear flat, without taxing render times too much. Do you think creating an ecosystem material would be my best bet? As it will render billboards in the distance, instead of trying to displace an entire lawn.

Funny and practical when you are at the opposite side of the world without prog! [image: 1964965eac370039.jpg]

i dont think there were many major changes made to the inference system (which is probably what your experiencing), although im a forgetful chap so their might have been some improvements somewhere.

Hi. Kerkythea has options to make flythru animations. You can setup a lot of things directly inside Sketchup, and if you need some others in Kerkythea itself. Imho its verey a verey interesting option. I would recomend give it another try. Indigo its an interesting option too, and its tuned inside Sketchup. (And if cash its not an issue consider donate a little to the free render engine you choose )

Hi Yanivkin! I had similar problems before. 1rst step is to dubbelcheck that all the files are where there are supposed to be. Plugins etc. Most problems Ive had with Sk2kt comes from that. Its been a pretty stable system so far.

@idraft said: Is there a way we can have a voting system on this forum. You can always add a Poll to the first post of a topic. Wait however for others to add more services if you are really interested.

Third approach could be to use php files instead of html files and simply include the one that contains the Hypercosm applet into another one (in case one doesn't want to use iFrames which can be the case sometimes)

I would not use sky with camera view like that. It would be better using background colour. To avoid bright spot like that try to move the origin.

For all those thinking to buy Modo they are running $200 price reduction over festive season.

Ahhhhhhh now it makes sense. Thank you!

Too late! Already got it myself. As always, the solution was right under my nose. Thanks anyway.
