... I will post some images later ...

15 mins to setup the render/camera/materials/cord and 1hour 20min for rendering (sampling level 9.10) on a p4 2.80 GHz with Hyperthreading and 1Gb ram.



I didn't add any fillets so not too many nice highlights here...

[Leonardo]

Hey these are great everyone, keep em coming if ya want. So far I see some nice ones in the mix. It must all come down to experience.

To bad it doesn't apply decal bump maps yet.

Thanks!

got any other simple models to test render???

Below is the final flamingo rendering of the part. Notice the lack of realism.

For those willing to try it out, you may get the file here...

What you show and what you give are not same objects. Why?
I ask this question because the final impression is affected by
hard edges of the simple object you provide.
Or maybe they must fillet several edges before rendering.
(I can see Thomas An. already did...)

[Thomas An.]

Yeah, most of my 10min was spent filleting the back ridges of the cable guard and the front edge. Some of the surfaces back there were not good (they were not joined properly) so I had to delete them and reconstruct them.

If it wasn't for this clean-up operation, the prep time was really 2minutes because I used a template studio setup that I have for other objects of this kind.

Yes, i noticed as well ---- (and Thomas, that must be the engineer within ) because i just threw it in the oven and turned it on high.

.....and Tom, isn't it obvious? he just gave us a rough draft.

[Frances]

... I'd rather pay a $1000 for a complete working (UV maps, etc) renderer, than $500 for a beta and promises of features that never come.

From what I understand, UV mapping will depend on Rhino's capabilities, not Maxwell's. RMA has said that they plan to release a bonus tool for Rhino that does UV mapping. I don't know if that will be soon or not.

...forgot i had this one too ....... i'm done.

[Micha]

... and here my version - simple documenation on white ground - 10h SL18.

[ivox3]

yeah.

[blueplanetdesign]

I'd love to see a flashlight version...

[ivox3]

Steven, .....not sure what you mean ? ......as in 'flash' render ?

just checking.......

[Maximus3D]

Flash: "A small emitter placed above the camera lens to imitate a real camera flash".

Hehe.. i hope that's easy enough explained to be understandable.

/ Max

[ivox3]

okay okay ......thanks Max. I'm thinking the whole time about a flashlight, as in power outage, as in ----- "where's the f--ing flash light!!!"

[Thomas An.]

Some of these look better than the Flamingo version, some not as good... but does anyone else think that the Flamingo version is actually pretty darned good looking.. as in, not needing much improvement anyhow?

Actually, Flamingo can even do a little better than that. (Sorry, mrking)
