Material Testing Model

I agree.
That's why in the licensed user materials forum they use different ways for different materials, like this way for flooring:

The test ball is a standard to get a sense of how a material will render. I agree that they aren't great for arch materials, but the test ball has been a standard because it lets you see the material in a variety of situations. Maybe we create our own?

I really like that test model. Any chance you can post the .skp for it?

Did you draw over an image of the logo in su?You can trace it or you if hate tracing (like me) you can import the image into Illustrator, convert to vector using Live Trace, export to DWG and it should make a face in SU (hopefully).

i dont know where this will go, but so many interest, lots are wanting to pitch in on which im happy. we would like to retain the valero studio
. I hope there will be a script that automates the process of applying the material to the model. and you dont do it manually. -
I appreciate the credit for the model. If it makes it cleaner, feel free to take it off the model. Kudos on the website is enough for me. Thanks.
