      It's the little details that make a great render.

        agree Pete πŸ˜„, here is another material (red wine) test.
        combination of sketchup+wings3d is excellent

            NO PLEASE! ... ehi wait.. that's not wine it seems better a forest fruit tea πŸ˜†
            seriously, Majid you could improve the wine material, there's one good (from Alex, I believe) in KT libraries.
            Great work that mug with the seams πŸ‘

                  Yes, thats it.
                  You subdivided a SU triangulated model in wings3d. Triangles to quads maybe?
                  Great work here majid. πŸ‘

                              Nice try a getting out of the self made hole, Majid... πŸ˜‰ but unfortunately in the West most hard-back books have a plain back without any printing on them - unlike most paper-back books - BUT don't despair, it's a great render anyway ! πŸ˜„

                                    Interesting you're integrating wings3D in your workflow.
                                    Would you care to drop a few lines about how you do that?

                                      πŸ˜„ here is a raw sketch of what I did.first I made this model using SU (it could be purely modeled using wings too)8.gif
                                      then it needs some cleaning and adding more vertix, etc...9.gif10.gif

                                      http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/2261628c27.gif

                                      cutting, (via right click) connecting (c key), move nodes (v to see nodes) selecting and moving node to have better model...

                                        very clear explanation, majid - thanks!

                                        So from the sketchuppers viewpoint it's a free subdivide & smooth on steroids with a free 3D app on top. Interesting! πŸ˜‰
                                        How many smoothing iterations did you do on the glass from your renders? I wonder what would create the smallest file size - the wings#3 process you described or the subdivide & smooth plugin?

                                          Might be better off with the Wings smoothing, SD&S causes the object to shrink a little (if that's not a problem, then no worries), and the extra faces cause SU to get a little sluggish. If it's just a coffee mug, not a big deal, but it may be problematic if it's a complex object or multiple objects.

                                            wings3d is a free sds app, but not for sure with sds ruby plugin options.I did 3 times of sds and so obviously it added the mesh too much ,no worry for a mug and simple scene that it's main object is that mug.
