Thank you, Majid.

I'm preparing a video tut for Youtube on the same subject (KT for architects), and I'll post a link to your pdf as an incredibly good reference.

Although I haven't had a chance to sit down with it I can tell by first glance that it answers some of the questions I have.
Thanks for all the effort on this.

Thanks majid.

You make it difficult for me to find reasons not to give KT a try with such valuable tutorials like this.

I had played with KT a while back and I didn't really get it. (big surprise there) I ve got KT07 on my machine now but I haven't had the chance (or the courage I guess) to take it on again. I guess I need to give it a second look.

dear david I myself started whit KT07 , but strongely encourage you to use KT echo 2008, most easiest and faster/simplest version.

thanx dear solo , I haven't covered anythins and even all the mateials I've read are not so tight ( but simplified for beginners ). BTW I think whit an artist eye you have , soon we will see some great renders .
I strongly need your feedbacks for next editions.

majid

now i uploaded the material test scene whit some preset light and cameras . so you can easily test your materials over it .

Thank you for the wonderful resource majid. I'm moving from POVray to Kerkythea and your guide is helping "smooth out the learning curve".

Cheers.

hey majid,

great initiative. although i do not use KT most of my students do and it will help them a lot. thanks!

majid

I prepared a simple interior scene.
pls see scenes in sketchup , there r some tips there , then export your model to kt.
adjust steel materials and dielectric and also thinGlass materials,
then go to setting-->sun and sky-->next-->choose sky color as white and set intensity to 2.
use render preset 6 and render.
you also may open my kzx file that i've attached and is ready to render and render it.
cheers majid

dear Edson.which render engine do u use? as i am a freeware user, i've used KT for a long while. ( i tried pov-ray but confused by errors, also it was the same whit indigo). and i think it is fast and easy enough to try it. so pls give it a try .and maybe my tutorial can help you!!!

Edson

i have been using podium for about a year (run a search under my name in the gallery and you will see a couple of renders i produced with it). it is the one that suits my needs best at the moment. but i have not written KT off. i may give it another try when i have the time.
