Thank you, I finally get to play with an Apple!

Miguel that's awesome i hope you'll put that in the tips section @twilight. or at least explain the process in more detail.

Wires? You mean wireframe? I don't have to see all apples at the same time; I have all except one hidden inside components, so Twilight will render them. Same trick I used with the thousands of high-poly trees. This is my viewport view. The Apple logo is in a layer visible in SketchUp but turned off in Twilight.

Anyway, here's a close-up of the red apple.

Hi, I more-or-less explained the process here:

Doing a little tutorial is on my to-do list.

Thanks, Miguel, and excellent renders - especially michaliszissiou's

olishea

great renders guys.

i like to grapple with apple.

I've just updated my apples render. There was an issue about reflections, I'm using blurry now. More natural.
Miguel = Michalis in greek lol
Thanks. BTW Miguel now you're ready to buy a mac. Not like pete's iPOD, a big one. Size is not a problem anyway.

Great looking render Michalis.

Here's a try with maxwell.

mmm apples, great renders guys!!!

Hey brodie, nice render. But IMO apples are not so reflective. I had the same difficulties. Maybe some blurred reflections? Is maxwell fast?
Teofas thanks, you could use my apples in your glorious renders. Or you prefer green ones?

brodie

How's this one strike you?

Is Maxwell fast? Well it's unbiased so it's automatically slow relative to biased renderers out there. I haven't compared it to many other programs but others have called it slow. For small scenes like this though it's quite fast. Speed has never been an issue for me as typically I simply start my final renderings before heading home for the day. I figure my computer's going to just be sitting here anyway so it might as well work. However it looks at 8am the next day is how it turns out.
