Yes true, for Octane it is. Why I'm asking is because I want to intrigate SU in my Workflow for architectural modeling. So I want to model the basics in SU and export to Modo, add the organic stuff and render. I just tried accutrans to detriangulate, but it doesn't work for a 100%.

Great work on the OBJ exporter
So if I understand correctly it is not possible to export quad polygons atm?

He guys... when the goal is not reached you will get a full refund. But I guess that ain't gonna happen

hey Pete, awesome stuff. I know you rather do this stuff in sketchup. But if you want to try some other software which is free.
Try Sculptris: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=090617
It's now part of Pixologic (makers of zbrush) but it's free and from what I've heard it's really really easy and fun.
Blender also has some great sculpting features.

offtopic I also made a Yoda sculpt recently. My second sculpt in zbrush ever and only had a few hours.

I would love to see a tutorial aswell. That's a thing I really need to improve and you have proven how important this is.

I think you can make this yourself.
If you need to make a bump/ disp map, you could model this yourself and render a depth map.

here's one:

and there's a few other on the next page.

I left it for 20:01 min now:

I do see the difference

Octane render (Geforce 470) 10:01, but I don't see the difference after 5 min.:

I haven't really played with Octane that much yet, but it's fast

Hey Twan, nice renders and pp. What is your company called? And I would like to have a look at your website (if you got any).

Groeten Ramon

looks very realistic pete, how long does such a render take? and is it unbiased?

this is so awsome!!!

Ziet er goed uit Twan (looks good in Dutch).
You're gonna be a vue master!

all-time I think, they intoduced this since a short time ago

the limit is reach, could only be downloaded 10 times.

maybe you can post it here:

looks really good.... maybe model the trunk in 3D for an even more realistic look

hey here are some video's which will get you started:

hey very nice image... it was strange for me experiencing christmas in Australia in the summer. I did visit Perth aswell, but only for one day

thnx majid

I agree with Michalis... it's easier to do it in another program. My choice is Modo. And Blender is even free!
