Spend some time on the kerky forum. THere is a great pdf about the material manager. and a video about the newer version of it. It is quite informative. Even I was able to get a decent render out of it for a photo sim I had to do.

Chris

Thanks!

What in particular are you having trouble with? Exporting? Assigning materials? Modifying textures? Lighting? The Kerky forums are a great place to start, but I'll help where I can - and Majid has turned out some fantastic Kerky renders here too, maybe he'll chime in.

Assigning Materials, mainly. And modifying textures. i have SU2K (the exporting program)

Finished Model! Tell me if i should add something, like exhaust, etch. Hope you like it. Here is a link to the model: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=fd7741b7927726bda37f3fc191551700

rendering is a slippery slope, once you start there is no stopping, it's addictive and will demand all your drinking time.

Secondly, I would try something easier to begin with, like Twilight, Podium, Irender, get the basics and then as you get the knowledge and the terminology and feel you need more bells and whistles then move on at your own pace.

No, i use Podium now, but am switching to Kerky. I know how to render, jost not in Kerky. XD sorry for the mixup

Ok, so everyone knows rendering. Except me. I have no clue how to use Kerkythea. Help! PS the tutorial did not help me one bit

Yes, you did indeed! Don't forget the rear view mirrors!

Was thinking that a Lamborghini would be a fun car for you to model cos it has alot of angles and not too many curves.

Well, can you post a good blueprints? Not the one with the ridged back.

Yeah, that might be hard. I will certainly get started on that once i am done with this. Lol, thanks. I would have forgotten the Mirrors, too!

@unknownuser said:

Yes, I saw it, it's looking very good for an early design.

Thanks! I got the curve of the car from the front view to be good this time. Not so boxy.

Thanks. I updated it even more, but its on the Warehouse, so no photos! But i will throw in a link

I am having trouble adding flare to the wheel case of the Sedan

Thanks Goldenfrog and Ely!
Also, i am working on a planet where i am drawing the map by hand on the surface of the shpere. Tell me where to go from there! Desert,, lake, nuclear waste field, etc...

Hey, this is my latest project, a sedan. I am having trouble with the wheel case. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=fd7741b7927726bda37f3fc191551700
