      If you tweak it a little bit so it vaguely resembles a letter, this weird shape would make a cool logo.

        yeah boo I cannot explode organic forms sometimes too, it just freezes.

        love the render mate....very natural and soft lighting. great caustic too well done. πŸ‘

        lovely shape and lovely colour!

        ah i see you got down with the tone mapping....simple always looks good for these refractive materials; there seems to be more colour

          I always use components (models imported from blender) 10 000 to 60 000 faces. I can have four or five individual huge components or groups. To explode them was never a problem. It takes some (5) min though. I think its all about topology... where blender just rocks. Because its completely wrong to subdivide triangulated meshes. Not to handle quads, its a major problem of SU. Just activate 'show hidden geo', try to move a point and see the whole truth behind this handy GUI.

              Beautiful, I agree with Miguel, it could be a great logo too. πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘
              A logo for a better zbrush maybe. πŸ˜† If it was a Z(b)

                Great shape - looks amazing in that material.

                    Here is another, as well as a small tutorial on how I made the shape. In the tut I did not subdivide the model, I will leave that to you if you wish. The file went from 117kb to 4.64MB after subdividing with 3 iterations. πŸ˜„

                      I've had the same issue as oli suggested when importing onyx trees and exploding, SU goes south!
