Artisan & Thea Render

[Oxer]

Hello,
I'm probing the new Artisan plugin and it's fantastic, this is my first models with Artisan, African Sculptures.

I have found one problem with the material, i have painted the models with Paint Brush (Artisan's Tool), the UV mapping shows ok in SU but when i export the model to Thea, in the render appears in some parts quadrangular faces with a incorrect mapping.

Very nice indeed!
Well done!

You should do a report at SU2TH development forum, if you have not already done so.

How about joining forces with Thomthom and give us full unadulterated UV tools?

@Oxer: any chance to see all your sculptures on your Blog?

I think that i have discovered the problem, if you see the model in X Rays Mode (in SU) appears the quad-faces, i understand that the problem with the mapped only affect to faces no triangulated.

I have triangulated all the surface and now the render works correctly, the problem were the faces no triangulated.

Pilou i'm preparing a megapost in my blog with my last models and renders, in a few days you will be able to see them, thanks for the interest.

Very well done.
You need a shadow under the sculpture however.

Thanks, yes i know it, this is a simple quick render for test the uv mapping, i'll do a final render with good illumination, etc.

Have you done it by hand or is there a way to influence artisan to do this? Or some other plugin?

That is so simple and so beautiful, Oscar! inspiring stuff!!

I asked Dale and he replied the (amazing simple) solution:

Hi,
I would suggest using the menu option Artisan->Triangulate prior to painting the material on the surface. It should work fine then.

I created a little example, see picture. Thank you Dale!

Neat sculpture. Thanks for sharing that info about Artisan, triangulation and Thea. I didn't know that.
