Hypershot is the best but unfortunately it is not free!

Adam, I bought the HyperShot HD Version, And by shopping money, it's mainly just the money I was going to use to buy a new bumper for my car, the old ones barely hanging on, but I'll have to Duct Tape it.

Here's a neat render of a nicely modeled desk from the 3DW.

Hi Adam! i have been on Vacations and i see that you have been using hypershot and have got excellent results! you are becoming an hypershot master

I have been using it again and i've got a BIG problem. I can only get clip map or opacity work when there's no a phisical ground behind models. See:

If you know how to get it work (shadows) help me please, because i can't use any people or tree in my projects! many many thanks!!!

I don't know if it's the right place to post it, if anyone wants you can move it. Sorry

Hi there Ibon! I wish I could help bro, but I'm having the same issue. I've tried everything I can think of.

See here.

It's a shame, because I am getting really nice renders otherwise. I just have to pick an HDRI or position it in a way to not display the shadows. Either that, or import the vector shape of my trees into sketchup and add the texture to that so that I get a better shadow. That would be a lot of work with all the plants and trees in my collection! Here's a shot where I had to hide the shadows.

Here's a few more Hypershot renders of various warehouse stuff.

Very good renders keep on this good work!

I,ve send a letter to bunkspeed explaining our problem, hope they will answer

Tose are some of my new quick renders with hypershot (models are from warehouse):

helo guys, I have just started with hypershot, and i have got big problem using it, so I hope, that somebody can help my......The problem is, that I just cannot have more than one texture in one model.....? For example, when I have house, and I add some material on roof, than whole house is covered with this material, not just roof, and then, if I add trancusclent glass to windows, than is house trancusclent at all......? What am i doing bad?

ibon

You have to apply materials in your 3D Modelling program, in this case SketchUp. Then, if you want to apply a new material in hypershot it will change only one material, the one you choose.

Hi Yo

From having used it for a brief period you need to explode your model down into individual groups and components. Then it will only apply a material to that individual element. Or try putting elements to have a similar material on the same layer. there are ruby plug-ins that that will do this automatically.

Geh4evr-

How have you found the output from the HD version?, i'm trying convince work to buy it. So far using the demo version i can get 1600x900 which is just about sufficient. i believe the HD version goes to 1920x1080.

This software is potential absurdly good, in terms of results and ease of use. but its also a little frustrating as you cant import camera scenes yet. Which seems archaic. But there is a rhino plug in that works from within Rhino, that would be excellent for SU, we should be asking bunkspeed to release something similar for SU.

Many thanks

Matt

Do these renderers bend light seen through glass (curved translucent objects)? I suppose, since SU is not solid, you cannot imitate the thickness of glass or other liquids.

i simply couldn't resist:

One of the latest protrude samples with a nice rust texture finish rendered in Hypershot trial. I hope you like it.

Nice Borg cube!

Pretty good, I don't often use 1920x1080, I prefer something along the lines of 1280x800, Which is Nice for most of my work, But on the rare occasions I've used 1920x1080, I've found it to still be as quick and easy to get good results quickly.

Have you tried the Hypershot Forums yet? http://hypershot.hyperboards.com
Sometimes they can be quite helpful there.

And if you need any more Help Matt, just ask me.

Oh, and Nice Borg Cube!

After getting my feet wet i tried a more complicated Model, an engine i got off the warehouse.
Most gearheads will maybe laugh out loud on my material choice which is entirely driven by aesthetics; i don't have the slightest idea which metals and stuff would be used to prevent an engine from blowing apart at topspeed

Anyway here's my second hypershot rendering:
