Thanks to all)

So, I was tryed Onyx Tree... I can say, that its generate trees with about 100-150K polygons on each. And there is 'minimize' function, that reduce number of polygons to 20-40K
I was launch SU with imported model, and it start to work very slow (AMD 5200+, not the best for the 3D, but...)

I'm working with landscape modelling, and I need realistic trees very much
So, what should I do? Maybe settling in 3Dsmax?
Or I have to try SU with imported tree on quad-core processor? Will it help?

Hi!

I'm searching for the best tree gen.

Till this moment, I find 3 systems: Onyx Tree, Xfrog and Speed Tree
According to the web info first two was released in 2003...

So, anyone, who was work with this apps, please give your opinions)

It's working now)
What can I say? It's really much faster, then podium render. Thats good.
So, I'll keep trying to find my favourite, but now Kerky seems to be #1

In V-Ray 1.05.30 features I noticed this one: "Animation Support"... Does anybody know, what is it?

So, I can share my Kerkythea experience:
I download and install Kerky app and add SU Plugin
After that several icons appeared in SU. By pushing on the first I get export dialog. And after this, nothing is happen, .xml file does not appear in chosen folder. Thats all

So... More useable result was produced by SU Anim)

Ok, I tryed SU Animate Eval and bored while it renders too, and I'm should to concent with you considering SU Animate cam paths

Searching in progress... I'm waisting time with this(

Will try Kerkythea.
Miguel, can you be so kind to link couple videos to see Kerky animation output? Thanks

added: I don't understand how does camera move in Kerkythea?
Should I use su animate to do camera path?

And what about SU Animate 2.0 for Podium?

Has anyone work with?

I'm searching for universal tool, mostly to do walkthrought animation
Tryed Artlantis... Can't say, I was impressed. I render in Podium static, and then must tune Artlantis render properties... It's not easy and quick*(

Thanks to all! It's working now)

And another one qst: (I noticed, they all are about podium...)

In attach there is rendеred image:
Please, look at some strange details:

1. Strange lights under several surfaces - what is it? I'v got them whith some light/dark combinations
2. Take a look on rails - they are dotted at some places - how can I clean lines?

So, your answer partially solved the question...

Another one appears after I rendered model in Podium 1.6

Why I don't see the background picture after rendering?

Hi!

I'v got one simple qst)

What should I do, to get sky on the background of my model?

Now I'v put sky texture rectangle behind the model
Are there any other ways to get background?

It works and looks pretty fine!

Thanks a lot!

(unfortunatly I need to redraw window and door, because entity info wont change, if there are attached elements, but now I Know, where is the secret (smile))

Hi there!
