RENDERING...Q&A and GALLERY

[CPiotrowski]

I have found that selecting perspective from your system default view is the best way to go to get the most realistic view. I would say the issue with the wheels on the Z4 is that he's not using perspective at all.

dojo, looks a nice model and good render. I would add a few more details to the gun barrel though

, also try rendering the gun in a gun metal (chromium ) type finish should look pretty cool. Been a long time since I played CS.


CP... have you gone mental !!

Thanks for the compliments Paul...


The render on my computer takes about 45minutes. I dont have any tutorials for you because I taught myself. James Lynch I know has some pretty good tutorials. You might want to ask him. As far as your limitations with WF 2.0. I use a personal edition of WF 1.0 but I have the ARX upgrade which you can see makes quite a difference. That will be your only negative if you dont have the upgrade. The difference between the first three images and the second two.

I'd love to take a stab at rendering this car with a few options in Carrara if I may have the model. Do you have a version of it in a standard 3D format like 3DS, DXF, Wavefront OBJ? I should avctually be able to load even CAD formats IGES and others, since Carrara 4 and 5 have the CADstyle loader.

here's what I do www.thebest3d.com/carrara - focusing on the earlier version 3 and 4 which are already amazingly powerful with global illumination rendering, caustics, indirect lightning and stuff going way beyond raytracing in realism, like HDRI probes and soft shadows.

Let me know if I can have a stab at the model for render testing.

Hi Dojo


I think your model will be great when it's done. I like the image you posted. It shows the true power of the Style function, and how easy it is to visualize you goal when you use trace sketches. I see you are another of the true pro-e commanders. Great work

I agree, this is one of the treads I look at first. I like to see what the other people can do with photorender.

hi All!!!


hi dojo!!!


Great work!!!

keep it going


I agree, this thread's good. I much appreciated what everybody here contribute to this forum. It helps the amateur (like me

), or professional...can get more experiences, knowledge(Pro/E's so wide)


I'd like to ask you that where can we get the the car picture and how to insert it into Pro/E windows. Actually, i don't know that

Thanks in advance


Nice weekend & Best regards

Foolmankh : this topic explains how to add those blueprints to your model : [url]http://www.mcadcentral.com/proe/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30 466&KW=blueprint[/url]Skint's way when you have ISDX, James's way if you dont. In config.pro set your texture_search_path and pro_texture_library folders to where you installed them from the cd (eg) C:\ptc\graphiclib\graphic-library\textures. Copy your images in that same folder.


Blueprints can be found at http://www.suurland.com/ http://www.the-blueprints.com http://www.smcars.net/


Had no time to continue on the body due to 'real' work, but couldnt resits on having a go at the tires. The rubber is still just a basic texture, I just focused on the rim.

Hi guys, Ive not used pro-e for a while, im loosing practice

In general I believe my pro-e skills have started to get better, i even helped somebody else out the other day hehe, I have been using it on and off now since I started this forum, so you can say about 3 - 4 months.


I believe my modelling skills have improved but other than that, I am a bit slow at delving deeper into the more intricate parts of pro-e, so... seeing the images above etc and all the conversations I read about ISDX.. i thought i`d give it a go !


Not sure if any of you guys have heard of a sci-fi program called Farscape ? I decided to have a go at modelling a Pulse Pistol, from the tv series. Below is the original picture I used in the ISDX feature, and below that my two images of part itself. Its difficult to find good images for the pistol so I used what I had and used artistic liscense for the rest lol

I had fun doing this, and now realise the potential power that ISDX harnesses, guess I need more practice but not a bad start

Hi Skint...Dont worry it is pretty good for start of some project.

. I have to say that this is pretty good for regular render .... and model is great ... keep going pal..

 

[[-Skint-]]

Cheers Miko

I wasn`t really bothered about the render, but it was a good exercise for learning the basics of ISDX. I think I would be a million miles away from creating a car yet though

 

[foolmankh]

Hi Skint!!!


Good work,dont stop. I'm very pleasant if you share with us about your ISDX basic

i'm studying and gropeIDSX's way but hic...

, i haven't got it yet.


Yeah i agree with Skint, to me a billion miles away from reaching a car (dont know when...

)


I'm looking forward your new work, Miko. I'm much appreciated what you gave us Miko


Best regards
