anyone knows a plugin through which you can increase the polygons of a curved surface, for example if I have the lateral surface of a cylinder obtained by extruding a circle with a bit number of segments How do I increase that number of segments without having to shared by a circle with multiple numbers of segments?
thanks!!

hey brother , i just joined the forum recently , so i am sry ur reply is a year late but anyway if u havent got it yet u can increase the segments on any arc or polygon by just giving it a right click and clicking on entity info , a small window will open in which u will find segment written in it , just increase the segments as u want .
as i said just thought of giving it a try even if its too late

[quote="Gaieus"]I'm pretty sure Bruce (modelhead) didn't mean to "scold" you.

hey man ,,,,no man at at all i know that modelhead didnt mean anything i like a good frank opinion always is a push forward ,, if i wanted a biased opinion i would have asked any of by pals here .. and i get his point and urs clearly ... and yup of course ur right and that was gonna be my next step cuz i got to render all my work for my portfolio ,, so tell u guys what i am workinga on a project right now so when i am finished modeling it promise to render it and post it ,,,,:) ,,,really bro thx for the comment ..and plz let me take advantage of this and let em ask u a little smth about materials .
when i download ready materials from asgvis site they always give me an error when i import them into vray and tell me unexpected file format although they r of extension .vismat .. so got any idea how i could fix that ?
and thx again anyway

very nice lighting.

where are the trees from? would love to add them to my collection.

BTW have you tried Twilight render, it may be a lot easier to get the hang of. i've been playing around with rendering for years and still won't tackle vray.

heyyyyy there . i am very happy u liked the lighting thats what i was concentrating on in this render anyway its hdri lighting and the lamps are emissive layers and a few rectangular lights .....

       anyway the trees are from 3d warehouse under the name ( smart tree modified ) :smile:      ... its the same tree but i took the leaves off and kept the bark :smile: just to give the shot a spooky look u know a nightrender a small cabin all alone in the middle of nowhere so the trees had to be  leaveless :smile:...

        about twilight , i havent heared anything about it be4 so if u would give me some tips about it i would be greatful , but the reason of why i am using vray is that i am an architect and i am using sketchup now but i am also learning 3d max and vray as a render engine works both on  sketchup and on max so i thought to get a hang of the render engine that was applicable 2 bth of them thats why i am using vray just .     but anyway thx for the comment brother , hear from u soon ..

here are just a few of my modeling work . its what i can find right now modelhead .. but anyway

You can see there is potential for sure. They have rendered up well. Many people will pick up models from the warehouse and give them a go with a rendering engine but this is not the best way to get off the ground. Right now you have lots to learn about applying materials as this is the weakness in the renders. But you need to build your own models first. You will also find that people are more willing to help around the forum if they know you are a modeler and not just a borrower.
Good first attempt....go build a model!!
Cheers!!
