I am still running 2016 and have need to open current version files from time to time. While my company has a multi-seat license, it expires by seat if not used for 3 months or so.
Looking into the subscription, they mention a "loyalty offer". Anyone have info on this?
I would love to know if anyone - with solid experience in multiple render programs has done a test render using the same model on multiple render programs. I am wondering if the cost vs output ratio means anything. Does Twilight Render hold any ground against V Ray or Thea? Or are there other platforms that are comparable. Has to include cost, learning curve, SU/Render platform compatibility, render time, hardware requirements, etc.
Thank you - I will try these in the morning.
Ok, SU says that the "skin" model is not a solid ( true I guess as it is made up of 30+ components - none of which SU thinks are solids). Question is this: can the "non-solid be converted to a solid or would any latent straggler geometry make that a no-go?
Next I need to subtract the multi-piece letters from the skin. Solid Tools not working due to the "solid" issue...thoughts?
I made the skin from a very clean 300 segment circle with simple square tube cuts at the side reveals - should be very clean.
I hid the top/bottom lines -works fine. Thanks for the help.
Great idea - and it worked smoothly until I exploded all 37 components to eliminate the lines between each and it has locked up again. Did you just hide the join lines?
I am trying to model the skin of an internally illuminated sign that requires up to 296 circular cut-outs in the skin. I have used the solid tools "subtract" function which only addresses one cut-out at at a time and by the time I got to what you see in the attached image, it takes 30-40 seconds per application and does not always work as evidenced by the random odd pucks still showing in the cut-out area.
Trying to select all and subtract locks up the program. The computer is an i7 HP with Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti grahics card so I don't think its that - but could be I need more RAM.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Plugins?
