Sure, really, tbh who could quit SU?

Hi
I was a "Sketchup addict", now I'm a blender (2.5) user
Blender is simply powerful.
cheers

You can also select "turntable" style rotation in the preferences menu, along with other selection and pan/orbit/etc. changes. Also, you can change it to LMB select rather than the RMB select. It's a nuisance moving from SU to Blender, for me anyway, to have to remember the difference.
Don't forget that Blender has some great free render software too. Luxrender, Yafaray, POV, and others, though they are not working in 2.5 or 64 bit Blender yet. I just do my modeling in 2.5 and then export to 2.49 for rendering.
-
Yes, Yafaray is very cool, Lux render a little bit more difficult to master and blender internal render is great too.

Hey dedmin
Thanks much for the links. Found them useful.
Remember, guys, feel free to post shots of your work here too!

Hi
Here it is.
Something done and rendered with Blender 2.5
Cheers

That I remember of the interest of internal Blender render engine for owner as me of very old computer(more 8 years old) is that
SU pluging render = 3 minutes
Blender render = 7 seconds!
From the Solo NPR Light House -
Nice work there REGIS and Pilou! The house looked very nice, maybe add some depth of field or something
As for the lighthouse, very artistic. But not realistic, but I don't think that's what you were aiming for, so good job as well!
-
Hi
@ ~GoldenFrog
~Thanks !
Glad you liked itYou're right, it's more artistic render than photo realistic render ! Some details are missing here and there and I think I've lot of things to learn to get nice photorealistic result too but I'm happy with this render.
This one is my first architectural project done in Blender.
It do the job nicely, at the same time, it's a real project that started about two months ago and I'm dealing with the Kitchen now.Perhaps I go with Yafaray for interior render.
Let's see
Cheers

Hey REGIS, might wanna check out Blenderguru. He has a tutorial for realistic kitchens. Link: http://www.blenderguru.com/create-a-realistic-kitchen-part-1-of-2/ This is part one of two, the second part deals with rendering.
-
Hi
Indeed, I know Blenderguru's tutorials.
I'm dealing with designing the kitchen, modeling is not so difficult.
Cheers

HALLO GOLDENFROG! Here is that blrender i promised on my rating of your 300th model! I tried uploading it here via computer xD

Hey m' mate! Very very nice render. I like it a lot. Nice work, I like the material settings you have there. Possibly make the sim higher res (Not the picture size, but the fluid res) because I can see the polygons
Nice work again though -
Thanks! I made the bowl aswell, its on my channel. Thanks! Ill keep that in mind! Maybe Ill do a subsurf on the Fluid and rerender it. I just dont like the fact that blender doesnt have a "line" tool XD
-
Lol, yeah me neither. Maybe Ton thought it too "primative"... :S
-
Right now I'm workin on some fire. Ill show some pics when it's done.
