Hi Aaron,

Thanks very much.

I am using Simlab (Rendering Edition). I used to use Hypershot Web edition but their recent upgrade and dropping the web edition means a very expensive upgrade.. Simlab uses the same engine as Hypershot.

I export as an obj with pretty high resolution (but not max). Import into Simlab, assign materials, set up the environment and lighting and render. I prefer Simlab over Octane because the macbook pro has a 330M GPU which is not the fastest. Simlab uses CPU and as I have 4 cores it renders pretty fast.

I believe other Moi users do use your method with great success, so you should be fine with Blender and Luxrender, if that is your preferred tool chain :)

Cheers

Steve
