c3din Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hi. How looks? Splash.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Is that model created in IRONCAD? If so, I think we could use it. We might need to tweak the rendering for more of a close up or for a more perspective angle. If the model is free to use, send it in and we can try to fine tune it Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damann Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi Cary, I have a large file from my boat. Unfortunately I can not render into IronCAD. With the setting: Legacy raytracing engine is an error and advanced rendering engine is very slowly converting. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I made the attached renderings with Hypershot. It was actually very good and fast. If the boat you are interested, I can also send you the original file. The boat was completely in IronCAD. Only for the Hullform I used the free program "Delftship. Best regards from Austria amdi Sanibel_Rendering.rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi Amdi, If you can send the model and images to support we can take a look at the rendering issue and also try some of the real-time rendering in IRONCAD 2011 (under DirectX/OpenGL2). I think if we apply som perspective, we can get a really nice rendering that could have a chance for the contest Thanks Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhryustov Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Permission is small. You also need to remove the inscription "Sony Ericsson" and "k530i". The file with the 3D model sent here support@ironcad.com. Edited August 17, 2010 by akhryustov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 There is not a file attached to your Sony Ericsson post. You can send it to support@ironcad.com. Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi Amdi, Thanks for the files. Here is a quick screenshot in IRONCAD 2011 with the new real-time effect. Just a couple of seconds to get that look! One Note: For the realistic rendering, I noticed you turned off shadows, raytracing, and antialiasing. Turn those on for optimal performance. If you don't want shadows, disable the settings in the light sources directly. We will look at the realistic result soon. Thanks Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damann Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi Cary, The first results already look very good. I'd be interested how long has this rendering. I'm very excited about the IC version 2011th Thank you very much and nice greetings from Austria amdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 The result I posted is a real-time rendering result (Not the full realistic rendering result). It only took about 5 seconds to display in that mode and you can rotate it Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlehnhaeuser Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hi Cary, I think you might want to consider making the credits in white not black becuase I think the majority of users have a darker desktop screen and they dont show up to good. my2cents.
