I believe there is an updated version due in November, check out the forum at http://www.turbosketch.net - Support > Support Options > Support Forums

Stu lol, I found out the difference between a 'caf'e' and a 'coffee shop' the last time I was in Amsterdam one of them has menu's that could make Jamaicans blush. I understand you not being totally convinced with PR 2d images as opposed to 3d trees, however you must understand that 'clipmaps' are not PR, they are not .png or tiff, they are 'alpha maps' in reality. I would prefer to use all 3D components but SU cannot handle it right now, hopefully the next version will make it possible. The walkway is a bumped texture, an Arroway texture. The problem I have with adding any structures, trees etc in PS is that it never really fits in, be it shadows, reflections, tones etc to a trained eye it's very noticeable. Thanks for the links, I will check them out.

Great image Holgster, and nice to see my birds in action.

to make glass in KT... rename ur glass material in SU as TG_xxxx.. (where xxxxxx can be anything) when exported KT will automatically apply the thin glass shader to the above mentioned material.. adjust the transparency if needed in KT...

I didn't need Fletch's rendering to get me on this bandwagon, but I must say that your render is another inspiration to me as I'm still learning. I for one am glad your here to help and inspire all us KT users. Thanks Fletch :thup:

Spence visit us at forum. There will be someone keen to help.

Thanks modelhead, I've just started with rendering, have a ways to go before I can put out the type of quality renders that I've seen posted here. As far as Indigo, maybe after I get more comfortable with Podium or Kerkythea I will try another rendering app. Mike

It's cool! ohhh warm! )) Nice work!!!

Thanks Jackson for the explanation. @Ross, Indeed the car is no where near the real thing as it comes to material use. Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe I'll re-render some day with correct mats. cheers, Kwistenbiebel

Lovely clock, I always wanted to make a wooden clock. Ross, the render is amazing. I have to learn that technique, I love grey renders

You're very welcome.. @unknownuser said: Nick W wrote: I'm new at this, so any tidbits of basic information would be very helpful. Well - I'm also learning new things regarding render techniques every day... At the KT Forum, you can find many useful tips and tricks... And if you can't find an immediate answer to your question, you can post one and the users there will always try helping you... @unknownuser said: Nick W wrote: I just used a standard glass material for the water (as you said in your tutorial), but didn't apply a bump map because I made the model itself bumpy. Does this answer your question? First of all, I assume you're mixing me up with Fade..!? Rolling Eyes Wink I've made the Getting Started tutorial, but not the water/pool video tutorials... Any way - a glass material will be the right choice... @unknownuser said: Nick W wrote: I have generally been using the Photonmap - Quick render setting, as anything with caustics or AA seems to take multiple hours to render. Is that normal or could it be on account of the many lights and large model? Multiple hours is normal, especially given the information that you have used many lights (point-, spot- and mesh- lights)... Also the choice of materials can increase the render time significantly, but it's something you'll learn along the way... In my opinion, you should only use the Quick render preset for tests... When you're happy with the materials etc., change to a higher preset and let it run during the night, while you're asleep... For a scene like this, I would use the MLT preset... It will take several hours to clear up, but you don't need to let it run for all 10,000 passes. At around 200 passes I'm sure it will be very clear, and remaining noise can get removed by using a program like NeatImage... @unknownuser said: Nick W wrote: I had amended the Global Illumination settings as you described in your tutorial, but I gather now that it doesn't matter if you don't use a render setting with caustics... I am gaining understanding every day! You're absolutely right... If you have done everything Fade has described in his video-tutorial, it's the render preset that will do the trick for you... Cheers Kim Frederik

Really nice work, Matt...and a lot of it! I like it, but so much lovely detail to be missed 'cause the stone texture distracts (for me, anyway)...sorry, I don't have a fix: hoping someone else does, 'cause I have the same problem often. My best and watching, Tom.

Yea, I agree Will03. It did come out pretty shiny but I didn't really wanna go back and do the rendering all over again just because of that. Thanks to all!

what a tease... come on... give it up.

Thanks for sharing Andy, these are great. And to know your workflow is even more valuable. Cheers.

Very nice. I like the blinds and the curtains in the windows

those are looking good, how long have you been using Indigo? looks like you have it figured out.

Will03 Here a few other links to read up about accurender, which will help with IRender http://en.wiki.mcneel.com/default.aspx/McNeel/AccuRenderHome.html and http://www.accustudio.com/ look in the forum area. I would guess IRender is based on AR3 Richcat
