Lovely!

...also trees dont face properly.

The tree in the background needs to be made "unique" so it will render properly. (Have you talked to the podium folks about the stripes?)

VERY cool!

Again, no exploding necessary...it's looking like this issue is only with the newest version of podium: what do the podium guys say?

These trees don't need exploding...looks like you have "rendering" set to "use AA textures"...?

Hey Pete, try on of these: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?uq=0247568597570164351511122&scoring=m They are obviously high poly but are componentized in a way that doesn't slow the model down much. They render well as well:

Lovely!

Edson...podium 1.7: I didn't see a demo for V2

Well, Edson, I tried but I just couldn't reproduce your problem...looks to me like this is a question for the podium gurus.

I took a look around your model and you had indeed exploded the images just as I would have. Then I reopened the model just as you sent it and started rendering (limited by the demo size):

Here's another view (podium first, twilight second):

Here's another reinforcement for not using SU's AA textures:

Green shadows? Tom do your leaves have any degree of transparency?

Yes, the leaf-bunch pngs in the trees tested in LightUp are set at 98% to eliminate most of the "edge halo" in SU.

So...that's all I know about rendering programs: anybody out there able to help Clay, that's some really weird and consistant render result!?!

Podium guys?

Okay, couldn't stand this sittin' out there any longer...so I spent the morning downloading demo renders and testing the model Clay posted (Edson, I'll find the trees you were using and do some podium tests on them later today...but I'd sure like to have a copy of the model with the trees you exploded to see how you did it):

Clay's SU8 model was set with AA "on" and shadow settings set to "light 10" and "dark 8"...which I didn't change (appears a couple of the renderer's use SU's light settings by default, some don't...?).

I rendered all with the software's out of the box settings...except for adjusting size to about the same height (podium's demo would only allow 500 max...?).

First off, in all of these the render was unaffected by the "anti-alias textures" setting in SU8 (though the look in SU and direct 2D exports from SU are drastically affected...see below this post).

Second, I didn't get anything like what you were getting, Clay (except that my LightUp shadows are tinted green too), and don't understand why your images are as they are...???

Google news search and google web search are two different things...right?

Google web searches are manipulated by advertisement dollars...right?

Seems to me obviously keeping some of the crackpots off a news search is less offensive than surreptitiously pushing products in a web search...right?

Besides, google censors the type of advertising sites they accept (to protect the company image, I assume), why not the type of sites they call "news" (for the same reason)...?

Here, you'll enjoy this! :lol:

Thank you, Tom...wonderful!

Terrific modeling, Daniel...hope it's been as much fun as it looks!
