it sounds great !! and what are the steps to reach this, plz?

majid, are you asking PKast, Ross, or me?

Impressive, but why was it necessary -- cold ocean, sharks?

Further to Ross --
I've tried several times to use PS actions* but have not had any results that compare favorably to the tried-and-true Dennis, Grant Marshall, or Worncall methods. They all involve multiple exports from SU (line, shadows, color/texture) and layering in Pshop plus the various filters and plug-ins.

Here's a very quick application of Grant Marshall method (without the benefit of multiple exports from SU which would make a much better result). Grant's method is still the best (in my book) for getting a watercolor feel.

*I do use actions, but in multiple sets on various layers as Ross suggested.

Masta, I believe he was referring to the mac with onboard video....

Note that Jason took the photomatch pictures on an overcast day -- great trick since it means that shadows on in SU will work for any time of day.

Many thanks, this will be useful.

I'm with Anssi on any Project Management/Billing software. Also Prime Medusa, AFCAD, Windows 3.1, Lotus Notes, Microstation, Excel (compared to 123), (and never liked Microsoft Office).

This looks very interesting. Will be available in April at cost of $250 and looks like it might well be worth it.

St. Patrick's Day is coming -- can we have Leprechauns and 4-leaf clovers? Also Washington's Birthday with cherry twigs and hatchets would be nice, but that would be too parochial for this international forum.

Maybe a little embarassing for those surfing at work, but I like it a lot and think we should have cute wallpaper for every holiday.

Kinda creepy too. But I bet my little kitty could beat them up -- 22 pounds at 1 year old, still has another year to grow and will reach 32 pounds. No genetic engineering, just a straight Maine Coon Cat (the oldest american breed).

Very nice 380. Hope you decide to share the model. By the way, your English is just fine, no translator needed (unlike my French which is completely gone away....)

If you are feeling ambitious perhaps you could model the interior .

Indeed, what a great time that was. We shall not see the likes again.

If you've never seen this 1948 classic film (Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, Archer UK production) it's on TCM tonight at 10:30 EST. Possibly the best use of color in a film (IMHO). Tough story, amazing imagery, great music. Two academy awards for music and art direction.

Or just use SU's "save copy as" as you need. It doesn't interrupt your workflow (unlike "save as") since the original model stays current in your working session.

Jackson,
Amen!

Might be the ATI card, see this thread:

About all you can do is to make sure that your transparency setting (in display style) is set to "nicer"

If you used grow on a group you would need to select all, explode the all (at once) and then maybe use smooth.

It the moire by any chance associated with a brick texture? Try exporting image as big as possible - up to 9999 pixels, then reduce in Pshop. You could also try increasing the size of the bricks (it won't matter so much at long distance), or try a brick texture eg. one of Alan Fraser's from formfonts -- they are nicely done so that they tile without lightness variation.

Indeed - the collection is at Google 3D warehouse, as stated on the site.
