Gaieus,

Thank you so much for the advice, really appreciated. Will muck around with some other models and show you my progress!

Hey guys,

I have tried posting query on Twilights forum but no response as of yet !

Can anyone out there help me figure out these problems with my rendering ( I have attached a JPEG image with mark ups of my issues and also the SU Model

SU Model - Hex Ring
Program - Twilight Render

Problem - I am trying to create a black shiney metal for the general ring as marked up on the jpeg, but with fiddling around with colour settings and templates I can't seem to acheive this?! I'm a newbie so I might be missing something simple!!
- Also the copper rods that extend out into the second ring seem to have like a splatter ? how can I get rid of this?

Any help will be highly appreciated and I apologize if this is the wrong forum to allocate this query too.

SU Model

So many choices!

So just scale down the model ?

And is can briefly describe healing?

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.

Cheers Pilou, I will look into all to see what best suits!

Cheers Rich, will look into it now!

Thanks Rich,

Do any of them contain "decent" tutorials ?

Hey all,

First of all have been browsing these forums for the past week and have found quite a lot of useful information regarding SU and would like to thank all the moderators and other users who help out others who seek advice.

I have been using SU for about 6-7 months on a weekly basis just to sort of re construct my ideas, mainly jewellery in 3D format, so much easier to do it on SU rather than drawing as I can look at all the individual components etc.

For my next step, I want to do some basic Rendering so I can add different metal textures etc... so as to get a realistic view of these 3D Items.. Can anyone recommend a rendering program that is the best to sort of get started with ? I wouldn't mind downloading a Trial version..

Thank you in advance.
