My Rubik's Cube model
-
Hi...
Again with the rendering. I hope you are not too angry...
I am trying and making my Rubik's Cube models more and more "different". But i am still poor on rendering so I ask you to help me... here is the link to my model http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=4d3da8da907d30a8c48359175e4416d4
and here is my attempt at rendering
-
Can some1 just show me a good tutorial for a rendering program that runs on Mac??
-
Podium does both Mac and Windows . Yesterday we released Mac Podium 1.6.1 There is no difference in GUI betweeen those. Here is a quick render without much fuss.
-
Great render
... I downloaded Podium (free version) and am starting to learn. I was wondering if I can make images bigger, or do I need to purchase Podium?PS: What do you think of the model?
-
How about a video of the cube being thrown to the floor and its pieces flying in all directions?
You could add the tagline:
"Now you can actually solve it without violence." -
You need to buy podium to be able to render larger images. I dont know if this applies to you, but a very good student discount is available.
-
I am afraid you will need to purchase Podium to render larger size. If you are student than it will be cheaper.
Could not find any problems with model...like it in broken pieces. -

"Now you can actually solve it without violence."I wanted to do that. But I as you know, I am a newbie SU user and can't do anything than make models. I don't even know how to move models in an animation.
Maybe I will try and do that later, after I get the hang of Podium.Edited: I think I am a student
... In Slovenia (from where I come from) is a different education system. I am almost 16 years old and I started my education at 6. I will be a student in Slovenia in 3 years. Tell me if I am a student plz... -

Did that

Kus, when i was messing around with your last render i found turning of the SU sun gave the render a much softer look. Might want to have a play with line overlays as well, theyre good fun and pretty easy to do
-
Here... my first and second render in podium... Just set reflection to 10 and pressed render 
I would like that you tell me what can be done better and how to do it... It would be such a big help step...
-
line overlays... can you explain a little bit more??
-
Sun is way too strong, make it around 32(dark slider) or less, make the floor colour darker.
You can have GI only render if you switch of sun. You get nice soft render.
To add lines you need to save your Black and white SU image 2 times bigger at least. In your case maybe even more as you are using eval version of Podium. Reduce line drawing to same size in Photoshop and use blending (say 20% opacity of line drawing layer) in Photoshop or similar. -
OK... here I got rid of the sun and darkened the floor. But I don't have PS, so I left it at that
-
There are a lot of free image editors...Irfan view is one of them.
-
well... keep in mind that I am on a Mac... and I think, that IrfanView is PC only
-
Can GIMP be used in lieu of Photoshop for the treatments you suggest? Gimp is open source.
-
Well I do have GIMP, but I can't do anything worth mentioning... so if any1 knows how... plz tell
EDITED: What else should I do to make the model look better and start with the animation??
-
Can someone give me some advice. I am kind-of board and want to do something in SU
Maybe witch plugin do I need do I need to make the animation suggested by Ecuadorian
