Nice render WytRaven! I might give the indigorenderer a try, as it's compatible with SketchUp. I've had Kerkythea crash a couple times, so maybe indigo will be a little more stable?

indigo is a great render, but a bit more complicated i would say i know the last time i used it (a few years ago) it was not very easy to use
hopefully now its simplified, which would be awesome since its a free renderer

Thanks for the crit's evil. I know what you mean about the ground material, a bit too reflective! I've had another go at this scene with a different material. Still can't quite get the realism I'm after, but better IMO. It's not easy getting the materials and lighting just right. Especially when it takes so long to see the results of any changes...Originally Posted by evil-98

A design I've been working on in SolidWorks for the past few days:
[ 3770K @ 4.2 : H100i : ASRock Z77E-ITX : GTX560 Ti : 16GB DDR3 1800 : +4TB : Bitfenix Prodigy : 2x Dell S2340M : Filco Majestouch-2 [Cherry Brown] : BX8a Deluxe]
Solidworks FTW!!
Until you see the price.
and learn how to use it
Infinity.... Re-assembled...
Didn't think much of indigo BTW. I agree with evil, a little too complicated!

Ok....Sorry for all the questions. So evil, as far as a learning curve, which of these three (Inventor, Rhino, Solidworks) is the easiest to learn? I have some experience, but most people would call me a beginner. Like I said before, I hate sketchup, so I'm looking at these three. Thanks
Ba da dum dum dum.
In school I used Inventor. Since school I have picked up Solidworks on my own and they are very similar. Solidworks has a slightly "friendlier" UI but I wouldn't say either or is easier to learn. I am, however, partial to solidworks for part modeling.Ok....Sorry for all the questions.

I am a mechanical engineering major. I have tried nearly every large commercial CAD/CAM program. I have used AutoCAD 2007, 2008, and 2009, SolidWorks '08 and '09, and Inventor 2009. I have taken whole classes on these programs. In my opinion the hardest to learn is AutoCAD and the one that I prefer most is SolidWorks 2009.
Great sketches guys, what are most of you using for your renderings. I prefer Maxwell.
@bentleya, I knew it would be you to start something like this...well done my friend.
Looks like I have to learn some new rendering programs. I am so impressed with all your pieces... truly works of art.
I hope to learn a lot from you all.

wow its kinda hard to believe these are images created with the pc some of them look real! good work fo sho
anyone have a vid or something on how you go about rendering a image i just want to see how it starts you know what i mean
All these designs look great. the triple compression fitting design looks very interesting.
What are those compression fittings modeled after, are they real fittings? If so where could I get them?Infinity.... Re-assembled...

I,m afraid those are not real compression fittings, although they are loosely based on Koolance fittings.....

Scooby, i got most of my first sketchup stuff drawn, after editing some of your own work, learned loads from your models@bentleya, I knew it would be you to start something like this...well done my friend.

so big thank to you bro
and it means loads coming from you
now help me win that compo on bit-tech

That's a good question! It wasn't easy! Here's how I did it:-
1. Import jpeg of logo into SketchUp
2. Trace the logo using SketchUp drawing tools
3. Create a 3D object from the traced logo using the push-pull tool
4. Intersect the 3D logo with the fitting
5. Delete the unwanted parts of the 3D logo to leave an impression of the logo on the surface of the fitting
6. Ensure that the logo has a different material to the fitting before exporting to Kerkythea...
7. Lots of patience!
