great... it looks great from far... but up close you can see the "steppyness"... I am on a mac... can't find a program that can open dwg files... can some1 tell me if there is a free 1??
A Mac limits you a bit, but try this site http://www.lemkesoft.com/lemkesoft.html
If you are on a budget this site has 'free' shareware ($30/35 each) (I think with unlimited use - it's up to you to be honest) for 2d-CAD and Image manipulation - including GraphicConverter which can change virtually any raster-image into many other raster-formats and also vectorize them too... I think that CADintosh only exports as DXF [that can be used in SUp], but it can import other file formats that you can first vectorize from raster-images with GraphicConverter [like HPGL and PICT]... If you have a DWG you can always import a DWG into SUp, and if the 2d drawing is too intense with that then export it as JPG or DXF into GCon' or CADin' etc... -
well I have downloaded the GraphicConverter but don't know how to change it to be able to change in SU...
-
No problem... I have corrected it in SU... it turned out great!!!
-
well here is the picture I have made:

Open the PNG file in GraphicConverter.
Make/convert it into a vector format - like HPGL ?
Import that format file into CADintosh and edit it as desired.
Then export its as a DXF file which can be imported into SUp as geometry... -

one more thing... I am using podium and I set the reflection to 10 but I did not like it... now I cant set it to 0... why???
-
make sure youve only got faces selected when your setting reflection (or light). Podium doesnt like it if you try and give reflection to groups.
-
Now those birds do really look fine (to me at least).
So is it your school's logo? -
TY... Well last week I got an F for not doing my homework at the art class... And now I am trying to get it to vanish
... That is why I will probably soon make something new and ask you how to make it better 
... And If you have some ideas plz tell BTW: I fixed the problem with Podium
-
That's a fine endeavour. Just come up with the ideas and we'll do the best giving advice.
-
well as I have sad at first I wanted to use smilies to reefer to some quotes but soon I found out that I am no good for making them... So I have just started to make the bird in 3D to use it as a smilie... but I find it difficult because I am not an expert in making curved faces and most of all birds... Any advice??
-
Now after 3 hours I found out that I don't really know how to do this. Did anyone try something like this once?? Does anyone have some advice??
-
Now my teacher asked me to make a picture with about 5000x5000 pixels... I am on a free version of Podium, so I can't do this. So I ask anyone to help me and just press render. Do not change the view or shadows... don't change anything... just render... plz
-
Sorry, Kus, I'd do it for you but I don't have Podium (currently not even Eval) either.
-
You can't render with that resolution. BTW there is no ground plane and you can't have shadows as such.
-
No Podium here either...
However, here's a zip file containing the SKP - updated with a nice style etc, a DXF of that file so you could try importing it into another free rendered (like Bryce 5.5 ?) and a JPG image of it that's 4500px sq and 80% quality [note that the directly attached one is only 1/10 the size!] - I think it looks OK... Remember you can also use Photoshop etc on SUp's JPG images later on to adjust what they look like and add special graphic effects etc...

yea well I know that Podium can't render at 5000x5000... I meant close so something like 4076x3304... BTW... I know that the shadows can't be seen on the ground but they do effect the shadows on the model itself...
PS: I need to have a white background...
-
I can render it for you,no problem, but you will need to give me your email where to send it to.
-
No need, Jeff Hammond has already send it to me... TY anyways
