Sketchup and Kerkythea Rendering

[Albacore]

Yes the rendering there on the clear glass set is great. Just think how long that would have taken in a non 3D engine.

Thanks Gary and Peter.

Was wondering if anyone ever looked at this thread ....

I think KERKYTHEA is definitely worth a look, and a second look.

That's a great looking chess set. Thanks Keith, I'm checking that one out myself.

Awesome.

I definitely was following this thread, Keith.

I downloaded, and I played for an hour with an imported OBJ file I exported from Cinema 4D.

I'm always looking for rendering and modeling programs to recommend. If you have a little patience, I'd recommend Kerkythea to anyone who wants to get the basics of rendering 3D stuff. The rendering engine is good; Keith provided an example and I saw that there are Pro-level options for reflections, fog, for editing materials, and even animations can be written out of this free software.

It's the best/easiest/nice-pricest 3D rendering software I've been shown to date.

Now, all the adventurous need to do is learn modeling, so they can render their sculptures.

Actually, if you download Sculptris, Free from the ZBrush people, and then mess up a sphere or something, and then export it, you'll see some of the power of KerkyThea's rendering engine.



Keith, you are to be congratulated on your 3D explorations and the quality of work you got out of this renderer. I know exactly the effort you put into it, much more interesting than my cartoon, and I truly would like to see in the future where this takes you.

My Best,

Gary

Thank you Gary, that means a lot to me coming from you.

More, Keith. More!
