Hi Roygee,

mmm… I believe there’s a free plugin for Blender to use Luxrender - must look deeper into this -

http://www.graphicall.org/megasoft78/windows

There are others that have been integrated directly into the builds of Blender, but those (linked to) versions give you the choice of rendering internal (blender view-port) or external (Lux GUI). There is a short vid (on the download page) on how to add the plugin. (you must use Blender 2.63a for that plugin, currently:-  http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/ )

Hi Steve -
Thank you.  That link is for YafaRay, but i grabbed the plugin anyway.  Also got the Luxrender plugin and Blender 2.63a.

I’ll give both a try tomorrow.

Cheers

Sorry, elderly (long) moment lol.

I have been using Yafaray path-tracing, it is quite good.

For LUX, you can download the “Standalone” V1.0RC4, it does contain the plugin for current Blender. http://www.luxrender.net/en_GB/standalone.

Thanks - grabbed that one as well - now to give my machine the fright of its life!

Used the Hex-DS bridge to make some shaping morphs for a candle.

You are right Roygee, Hex & Carrara shared a gellery. Here’s what I put together since my last post, hope you like it

Man! I’ve been using Bryce since ver. 2, tried Lightwave and 3DS Max (not for long enough), but I’ve never rendered that kind of realism!

I’m totally humbled…

PS: couldn’t get the image into this post - it’s the one with the Coke cans and glasses

Eh im still messing around with hex carrara and bryce, all 3 were used for this.
No postwork

a Bryce render???

a Bryce render???

If your talking to me then no the final render is cararra 7 standard.
The background is a bryce 7 pro render with exported hdr file.
Notice the flare is done in cararra.

The following is a wip and of course you can see the hex UI.

The render is bryce 6.3

yes… i was talking to you… (sounds like a line from “The Deer Hunter”)

another nice model and render!!
