Nice matrix...definetly one of my fav movies!

Lovely hypershot!
Some emitting materials? How about posting it?
It's not needed if it's some xray from the lib.

Lovely reflections massimo!

OK, so after visiting this site for a couple of months and admiring all the pro's work, I thought I'd take the plunge and give these challenges a try, first time
I am soso in getting around in Sketchup and have been making some architectural models for work, but I'm very new to this whole rendering happening and from the getgo get overwhelmed by all the abreviations people are using, anyway ....I guess I'll have to make a list :0)

How does one go about starting this thing? I am using twilight and understand I have to assign materials from the Twilight library ... so I started to take on that task, but in disecting this model, I noticed something odd ... This is a wicked detailed table lamp but it appears that it is made out of all .... "groups". The only component is the table. I was under the understanding that in Sketchup, it is best to make components out of repeating items. Did I download it wrong? Is part of the challenge that I make it into groups? This model is reacting superslow and I haven't even applied anything fancy yet. (What I envision for this lamp is to be all rusty and damaged, but still working here and there, like it has been an old artifact dug up, o say, a 100 years from now).

I would really appreciate the feedback and guidance as I take the dive into render world :0)
thanks, DutchEsse

Quick try. Got some funny reflection from a TV screen. Raw kerkythea output.

Whow guys, This is very cool. I wanna thank all of you: Solo, Timmy 16744, D-space, Earthmover, Urgen, Massimo, Rico91, Tallbridgeguy, Stefanq and all the other people. I did not know this model, gives so many people this kind of creativity. I'm really impressed.

I hope we can do this more often.

Maybe got someone an idea for a "render this" or "model this"

I suggest that you take a look at Emitter materials thread...

I would but......"Please wait, processing model..."

i've had 100 MB files that process quicker, what's going on?!

[dutchesse]

Hey thanks Frederik, I checked out the thread, and of course new questions arise. Why exactly is there a need for 2 meshes; one emitter (low poly) and one fake emitter (high poly)? Doesn't the 2nd layer add lots of triangles again to the model? Also, the question still remains why this model is composed of all groups, shouldn't it be all components since there are lots of repeating parts to this cube lamp?
