Recommendations for an Extreme Rendering Newbie?
-
Hi all,
I am fairly proficient in sketchup and recently downloaded Kerkythea in order to render my models. I have never rendered anything before except in Revit and am unsure of how to go about it. I have exported sketchup models into KT but cannot get a solid image of my models... very confusing. Can anyone recommend a good place to begin learning about the VERY basics of rendering with KT? It seems like even the most basic tutorials I've found are too advanced for me. Sorry if I am beating a dead horse with this question.
Thanks,
Sean

Press 'V' on the keyboard to get a solid render view or solid rendering mode as its called. The Kerky forums should certainly be able to help you out, I did see some on a site recently, will try and find and get back...plenty people here too

I'm only a couple of days ahead of you in the learning process, but I found this simple tutorial to be helpful http://www.studiorola.com/tutorials/rendering-tutorials/kerkythea-basic-rendering-setup-part-1/
also go through this thread on the kerky forums, has a lot of good information and a scene for you to download and practice on.

Hi guys,
I'm struggling with Kerkythea and the settings for the render. I tried a lot of possible solutions to get the noise away, but it's still there
How do I get sharp and clean renders, without the noise ? It's really unsharp now, Kerkythea is now busy with another setting, I will upload an image when he's finished.
Is there somewhere a good tutorial for the settings, to render photo-realistic ?
Í used to work with Twilight the last weeks, but the plug-in is a trail version and the Twilight-banners inside my render are to annoying to make it a good render.

Hi,
Once model is imported in Kerkythea, go to view - adjust - solid rendering.
Have a nice rendering time! -

Have a nice rendering time!That's the first thing I always do... But I think it's probably somewhere in the settings for the photography..the render is doing well, I do anything with reflections, soft shadows and more, but the photo is unsharp and I have a lot of noise, aspeccialy around the edges, most of the faces are smooth, but also there's noise.
I'm back round 2 O'clock, then will I place an example what I mean.

As I said earlier I'm a complete newbie to kerkythea but try the Metropolis Light Transport render preset, do as many passes as you feel is necessary and then you can get rid of the remaining noise with neat image (http://www.neatimage.com/), that's what has worked for me.
