Did you use soften/smooth edges? select all the geometry of an element by triple-clicking on it, then right-click and select soften/smooth from the context menu. In the new little window, drag the slider to the correct value. (usually more than 20, less then 90)
Also; which renderer are you using? some require you to set a smoothness level in the material, others don't properly import the SU properties of edges...
...or you could just texture the face with a semi-transparent png...
I think it was something like 20 minutes but I didn't keep time exactly
turn on the 'monochrome' face style. the white ones are good, the light-blue ones are bad...
When this kind of stuff is important in a model, I like to make the back-color a bright red... this can be changed in the styles/edit/faces dialog.
hi everyone I'm trying out Shaderlight renderer... some nice results
I downloaded them from the warehouse, tweaked wall-e a bit, put an hdri around it and tweaked the materials a bit.
The background was blurred a bit extra in PS.
really nice render... also very nice design!
btw your second link is the same as the first...
I tried Shaderlight as well, but it's still very much in beta... the MELT function that they use for max is not yet integrated in the sketchup version and neither are pointlights and such. not that I don't appreciate IBL, but I don't have that many hdri's to choose from...
look at my location

surprisingly, the harbour is the one place that hasn't flooded... oh and bytheway this is only 1m rise...
good thing we've got dikes...
that brain is the first one you find when you search for components...
sweet...
and the GPU is an NVidia Quadro FX 770M... is that any good? 
oh and with shadows off, the time was 1.141. Average frame=0.016 sec., 63.1 fr/s
whohooo thanks! I saw that website long time ago, but I had completely forgotten about it! Such a great resource!
why of course he still would. layers don't work the same way they do in autocad. Putting things on different layers does not prevent them from cutting through one another.
now if you would make that into an animation, I would be really impressed 
Ey I actually know a person that uses car tires as a tv-table... He has them lying down though... A bit safer... But the entire room smells like rubber - it's horrible. But he says he likes it....
Wow roger! You are clearly a pro! That is one awesome pano!
Uh... So Im guessing the detail is from the left of the original, right between that big tree and that little one?
I asked this guy what he used to make his 360 pano's.
It's the 'Panosaurus' a quite affordably priced panoramic tripod head. Find it here.
It's only just expensive enough to keep me from buying it at once...
well, you can't really call it 4G, cause this is the 4G: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_T96MCov_w
but other than that; nice idea 
real nice... but you do need to add some mud on those walls
