after some extensive testing (cough cough) i can conclusively say, cheers for that solo. i never really got omnis before, but just had a quick go and theyre really easy to use, and like you said, a lot faster.

O.K. I will try!

Welcome to SCF.

The coding of games is not my realm however there are one or two guys that frequent this forum that will sure be able to help you, one of them is very active in the creation of a well known Isometric game called 'Sim City'.
I am not a KT user so I cannot verify if it is able to render diametric images, however I do know that Blender is very well used for this genre and has a m3g export facillity.
As far as detailing is concerned, it can be achieved with complex modeling, but that would just slow you down, creating detailed textures would be best IMO.
Now Makehuman may be free and all but the sizes are rediculously large and frankly too detailed for the perspectives and gaming requirements, I unfortunatey do not know of any alternatives besides creating ones own lower poly textured people.

If you however find any solutions or have a workflow that indeed works well please let us know as there lurks many interested folks on these forums.

Hmmm very spooky, that picture is taken at my football (soccer) team's ground near where I live. How coincidental!

I find a bug splat message when I have alot of groups usually alot of small groups. Try to make it so you have the least groups that you can possibly have.

Thanks i tried it and it all worked

That's sort of what I figured unfortunately. Any other ideas on how to do what I'm trying to?

Kevin,

Good start. You could try to make the building more impressive by lowering your camera and walk somewhat closer to the building. You will get more detail about the building.

Version 2 is indeed slower than previous version. Something that is common in the wonderfull world of software. Newer software, more features, higher quality demands memory and calculation power. In the case of ArtLantis it is a low price considering the improvement of quality.

thank you bro 😲

Alpha 3 is being tested internally, but there is lots of work to do. I can't elaborate on timescale though I'm afraid.

Nice model GreyHead, although it is curiously stretched in the x direction in the zip file (easy to re-scale).
😉

thanks a lot!

Thanks Lewis,

Though I can't believe they've not fixed the "disappearing groups", "incorrect environment from SU shadow settings" and "VRay materials getting 'stuck' to SU geometry even though the material's been changed in SU" bugs. They're pretty damn serious- the disappearing groups and shadows ones are bad enough to put demo users off. Sure they all have workarounds, but they should have been picked up early in the beta stage IMO.

Oh well, it's still one of the best and definitely the fastest renderer out there and a very stable prog (Vue d'Esprit users will know how novel the latter concept is!).

Hi, How to get a decent relflected image in my reflected surfaces. I often only model stand alone elements and furniture etc so there will be no walls or ceilings etc.

You can use simple studio light scene or like here or HDR lightning. Just find, buy or made suitable spherical hdr image for the sky. There are also some pre made HDR globals at Kerkythea repository.

This simple render was done with HDR lighting and one IES light.

What you need to do is switch the background from SKY to Acolor and choose the colour that you want it to appear.

You're welcome, Alpro... 😉
Glad to hear that there was a rational explanation to your issue...

Looking forward to see your renders..!! 😉
