    • RE: Best tree generation system

      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?

    • RE: Looking for a good software for rendered animations

      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?

    • RE: Looking for a good software for rendered animations

      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)

      And what about SU Animate 2.0 for Podium?

      Has anyone work with?

      I'm searching for universal tool, mostly to do walkthrought animation
