This thread in all fairness should be moved to an appropriate section as the actual topic of a Podium render is not being discussed, rather the semantics of the origin of the mesh. As mentioned on this thread, I too import meshes as needed when SU limitations in organic modeling compels me to do so in order to reach my results. I can and have modeled many organic forms that took yonks to achieve, but never good enough to compliment a scene as SU just does not YET have the tools best suited for such workflow.
I must admit I have not really read the rules of participation, not even sure there are any. My assumption is that if it was used within the SU software like posing and texturing it is fine, even if the original mesh originated from a third party program.
Is it possible to get a guideline on posting? What percentage must be SU based for it to be acceptable? Would adding a new section for minimal SU renders help?
I personally believe this is all a misunderstanding really, the ‘Female curves’ posting was as I understand a posting about a curved studio setup in SU where components can be posed to eliminate corner shadows. And this ‘Kapow’ thread is a folly posting which even though not modeled in SU has been posed, textured and rendered within SU.
I would hate for Biebel to stop posting his works as I get much inspiration from his experimentation.
So…to Biebel I urge to reconsider and to Coen, please facilitate these works even if it’s in a new section.
