Sorry TIG I missed that part : create a proximity folder....
I'll try that now
I'am trying to draw a perspective 300 m long with a statue evry 10 m
the one in the far don't need high res
I want to create scenes and not re-load manually every component ...
sorry TIG
I really don't understand how to use your plugin....
I have the same statue in 3 LOD
name is :
statue-001+
statue-001~
statue-001-
run the plugin
see the boxes
nothing happens on screen !
I don't get it...
Pilou tu peux m'aider... ?
we are aiming at producing about 3 movies of 3 mn each
4500 frames per movie
13500 frames total
we are looking for an engine that could run a render farm any idea ?
c'est ta voix sur la video Pilou ?
le commentaire est hilarant !
je ne crois pas que ça fasse le match pour nous.
en fait on va faire des mouvements de caméra dans un modèle et des rendus plan par plan dans un moteur à déterminer
how many poly does the plugin handle at the same time ?
if I want to polyreduce a 65K model do I have to split it into sub-objects ?
well that is the idea
image frames : 25 fps
render with ???? not decided yet
processed in Adobe Premiere or equivalent
it will be fly through
no animation involved
yet we need motion blur, but it'll be post prod I imagine
for those making movies, I imagine that will help inserting image as back ground
are you familiar with chromakeyor compositing?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_key
here is texture to drop into your material folder
No pdf attached to the download...
I have it from a previous download.
thank you for your interest into this.
I will try the poly reduction techniques this morning and test TIG's plugins
still I go with ThomThom :

What he's talking about is LOD ( Level Of Detail ). He want to use low poly mesh when the camera is far away and high poly when the camera is close. Automated.
(...) being able to define a set of distance ranges and components - which would be adjusted on the click on a button, that would be interesting for staging scenes for rendering from various angles.*
this is exactly the issue, i am into film making these days... with lots of statues / artifacts / buildings.
very large set.

Sds2 has a Polyreducer tool
hey Rich,
what is Sds2 ?
ok so that's is for polyreducer...
what about dynalic reduction like in Google Earth when I move closer to an object?
statue on the left : 65K polys.. (3d laser scan ...)
statue on the right : 2k polys (poly reduction out in a 3rd party program)
2 questions :
how to do that in SU8 ?
for movie purpose : when my camera is far from the model I want statue on the right, when I get closer I want statue on the left ? any ideas ?
--> the closer I get the more details I want.
thank you for your input
I was just about to mention that article... 
*.amf will replace *.stl
sounds great !
all about it : http://creativemachines.cornell.edu/amf
here is some more on this topic : copyright breach and 3d print : the new issue

paste the link in google translate !)
working on animation out of SU with a Photo Director, his first concern was / is what he calls "motion blur" that doens't exist in SU ...
we are looking for solutions, but it'll probably be done in post production.
can you explain your animation workflow & tools ?
thank you for your input.
so you broke up your original model into 4 "sub-models" taht you reload in the 1st one when necessary ?
