Hi Nomer,

Fryrender works completely within Sketchup (like Podium and Vray).
After all the materials and light are set , you choose 'export as 3d model' in the file menu and the rendering will start automatically (= a new Fry window will open and starts the rendering).

Cheers,

looks good biebel, can you show more how you did it ???

Thanks Alexander.
That's a difficult question to answer.

Basically I use Fryrender in following steps:

• open the Fry toolbar
• select the SU material (in SU material browser) and click on the 'paint bucket' button of Fry toolbar to start editing the material...From now on a corresponding Fry material is created.
• push the 'A' button (fry toolbar) and click on the viewport to set the cameras focus point.
• push the 'environment' button (fry toolbar) to setup the sky and sun. Beware that the sun does not match the SU sun so you need to experiment.
• push the 'camera' button (the left one) to setup your camera settings. For exteriors I mostly use following settings: iso 200, shutterspeed 1/250, fstop 12
• push 'render settings' to setup the image width/height
• 'export as 3d' in file menu to render. Most of the time I uncheck 'export all cameras' as it often causes a crash. See to it that 'export all geometry' is checked.

About the water: there are 2 planes: 1 water plane which is basically a (ghost) glass material with a water bump applied and 1 surface below that (app. 50 cm) containg a moss texture I downloaded from http://www.cgtextures.com.

Thank you Sid...Your comments are always appreciated

Last one.....I am done with this scene.
Thanks for watching.

Thanks Mateo and Modelhead.

Hi Jackson,

It's a simple low-res bumpmap on the default Fry water preset material which is basically a ghost glass (AGS) I guess.

Here is the bump map I used (works as well with all different render engines):

Still having fun :

Thanks alexander

An interior tryout...The furniture needs to be re-arranged though

My attention went back to the car.....

Thanks.

@Alexander: You are right. It's not an easy app to control.

Same view, different time of day:

Thanks Sid

Another Fry image. Less focus on the car. Bloom added in Pshop:

I can't get rid of the watermarks as the Fry license is installed on my desktop and not on the laptop I use to make these images .

R-time 1 hour.

If someone could find me a 3d model of it...I'd love to

...One observation: the Ford logo is mirrored.

Nah it's not.... Never heard of the 'Drof T'?

I did render some interiors with Fry, but just like Maxwell, it takes way too long and thus not really usable...
For interiors I prefer to use Podium or Vray.

I bought Fryrender at half price in 'pre-order' phase.
Current price (800 bucks) is very high, definitely when you consider the product is still in beta and you can't be sure where it is heading.

@Alexander,
Who would that most famous Belgian be?

Different light, different colors:

Fry is buggy for the moment and it took me a while to know the workarounds to avoid the hassles.
The software is still beta, so hopefully things get fixed soon.

It rendered for about 1 hour.

Thanks

This next one is rendered using Fryrender:

Vray again
