I am downloading Twilight atm, will start playing around with it this weekend.
I have attached a SU file of a basic ring which I want to render.
-
To get accurate results rendering you need to follow real world dimensions. Also the inner surface of your ring has missing faces. These should be healed to create 'solid' object.
Happy rendering
-
So just scale down the model ?
And is can briefly describe healing?
-
Have a look at Indigo Renderer too!
Cotty -
So many choices!
-
There are some unneeded faces right inside the rings - look using a section-cut.
There are also some faces missing - draw over an edge and see it it 'heals' it with a new face [it might also make unwanted internal faces again - simply select the unwanted face[s] + delete key to remove those...].
Make sure that 'front' faces look outwards and the inner faces are the rear 'bluish' ones... -

Nice trick to find unwanted internal faces with the ability to select them. Thanks!
Is there a plugin which deletes internal faces of a complex model automatically?Cotty
