      I just couldn't be bothered setting lights up so i used hdri! took 2 minutes to setup.

      mate i wouldn't get 10-60 second 2000x2000 render on my dual core! i dont want the surface to be too clean, it doesn't look right.

      i like a bit of noise!

                Used SimLabs Composer 2.1 as it imports .skp(and many more) and has it's own UV Mapping feature which is easy to use. Still getting to grips with it but so far i'm happy. Not as flexible as Twilight but still effective

                  rclub: your UV tests....is it just projection? or you on another app? look very funky indeed!!

                  Thanks alex, i wanted a nice subtle plastic texture! injection moulded plastic is never clean....always got little bumps in it.

                  yeah feel free to download the model and do what you like with it (its in the competition thread) I'm still waiting for one to finish rendering haha!!

                  by the way I specced up a mac pro computer on apple website (for a laugh)....I chose all the best options, screens, hard drives etc......Β£12,000 lol lol lol ($18,350

                  Just a little joke:

                                Just for amusements sake - this is the 3 chairs with those polygons modo tags as 'coplanar' removed.
                                Kind of a cool image.

                                      Care to share those TWR settings? Especially the reflection value. I presume that's the brushed metal you shared awhile back?

                                        its the twilight scratchmap that Fletch posted, 0.05 bump strength (sometimes I use 0.1 if further from camera), brushed silver template. 450 shininess (play with this value, 600 looks good too). u need several light sources (or hdri) for the reflections to be convincing. I would post the skp but the scratchmap is for twi users etc.

                                        did bit photoshop with this one: duplicate layer>blending mode, soft light. duplicate layer, desaturate, change blending mode to overlay. some curves adjustments and then dof blur

                                          Some thoughts:
                                          Different communities develop in different directions. For instance, in the modo community members often post video tutorials, generally for free but sometimes for sale. There are 'big' tutorials that are priced in the $30 range but there are also tutorials in the $8 to $10 range. Generally the price difference has to do with length.

                                          Sketchucation has nothing like that and I wonder why. It could be that Luxology sells tutorials and therefore sets the pattern for doing so but Google doesn't.

                                          For those of us who are real novices tutorials are a great benefit to learning. I have a dozen modo tutorials and there's only one that I regret buying, the rest I've watched numerous times and they've paid their way several times over.

                                          Olishea's description above veers from SketchUp to Twilight(?) and then into PhotoShop. I would gladly pay a reasonable fee to see a thorough treatment of the whole process beginning to end in a video tutorial. And I'd also pay for anything Solo or several others on this board would produce.

                                          It might not be profitable here. In modoland the entire community is geared towards these video tutorials and are ramped up to buy them when they come out. Introducing such a trend over here might not generate the same amount of buyers simply because Sketchucation Forum members aren't in the habit of doing so.

                                          But it might be worth giving it a shot and seeing what happens.
