Thanks Mike. For some reason I had this scene in my head for weeks.

Thanks tuna.

I have nothing against refurbs. I love refurbs! They are usually the best bargains and all the bugs have been worked out!!! What I have right now is a 9 yo i5, with 8GB RAM and 2GB video, all with 2+year old drivers that can no longer be updated. Not even the BIOS. For simple chores, it's fine, but starting to struggle. For SketchUp and video editing, it's done for. In fact, a refurb was what I was going looking for when I could afford it.

Thanks allenx.

@l i am said: Hi Bryan I assume you are using Raylectron? What is 'eye' shadows? Nice scene I think if you applied about 15 of shine to all the texures on the robot you would see a big diference Sorry. Meant to give a more detailed reply sooner. "Eye" is one of three choices under "Illumination">"Shadows". The other two are "Real" and "Ambient" (occlusion). I just learned that "Eye" does not show HDRI, only Real and Ambient will show HDRIs. I've also learned than "Direct Illumination" can be turned off for different results. I'm still learning Raylectron. The combination of settings is rather daunting, but simpler than other renders I've used.

Thanks ntxdave and tuna!

Thanks Mike!

Thanks tuna!

Thanks HornOxx.

Thank you JGA. That resolved it. I was not aware those were the file names. You have helped improve the performance of the program for me. The exporter to nowhere was causing performance issues with SketchUp.

Thanks tuna!

@l i am said: That is very good indeed and that is comming from an industrial designer Thanks L i am!

Thanks L I am. A better PC is on my list as soon as I can afford one. This 8 year old laptop I use is all I've got for now. What renderer are you using these days?

I think this looks pretty good. Keep on polishing your skills! I will check out your portfolio later.
