Hi there,


my first picture here and still wip. Modelled after a cross section we got in university for calculating tolerances....

hope you like it.

Modelled in Moi,
arranged and textured in Cinema
rendered... guess what ;)

I like materials a lot and the composition is very nice too; it keeps you entertained for a while looking at the piezes.

I didn't know Moi could be precise enough for this kind of job. How does it behaves with high poly count scenes?

I always like seeing mechanical type renderings, great work!

Great job! Simple, clear, just as it had to be!

Moi uses nurbs and up to now I had no problem showing the things I wanted to. The only delay I had is when triangulating the model for export.

Internally they use nurbs, just like rhino - I think even the same format. So they don't need to subdivide.

But if you give me a huge model - I'll test it's behaviour. (Maybe somewhen in the future I'll get to the boundary myself...let's see.)

macray could I ask how is the Moi 2 cinema4d working for you?

Love it macray, especially all the little screws. Did you enhance the contrast in postwork? I'm often times having a hard time getting the desired contrast in my Maxwell setups.

the picture is unedited. just as it was rendered in maxwell. rendered 1680x.... and downsized for a cinema forum. otherwise nothing is changed. This time the contrast worked pretty fine.

I use Moi 2 Cinema via obj files, whereby I use ngons - as long as I don't have to look at the wires it's fine.
