Hi Rudy,

Nice job on the design & render, Well done!!
Glad to hear you've found the SimLab Composer so easy to use with your first go, Congrats!!

I also considered buying this SimLab Composer...but I've already invested in V-Ray for Rhino, so couldn't see any real advantage to me.

regards Colin

it's not so bad ;)

No, it's not bad at all :) . That is some smooth modeling. Is it a nurbs or poly model?

---

Don't kow but the other cars shown on the Simlab forum gallery are models posted at 3Dwarehouse ;)

The Simlab guys have just enabled the alpha output for Composer 2.1 (free upgrade, actually they said on the forum that all 2.x versions will be free upgrades). Not available for download yet but looks like it will be soon.

They've also enabled ground shadow toggle and ground reflection.

I'm pretty impressed with Simlab's support and I'm very happy I purchased Composer.

Makes two of us :)

Hi Danny,

It's looking to me like we might end up with at least some of the stuff that was/is available in Hypershot/Keyshot.

Ralf, as you have Hypershot & Simlab, I'd love to know what features the two 'Shots' have that Simlab Composer currently doesn't. I wonder what other goodies are in store.

Thanks also for letting us know about Composer. I'm glad I didn't miss out on this bargain.

It is the Luxion render engine so we might see more stuff being implemented that's in HS/KS, I can't see why not, the latest update features are just the beginning, I think.

.......and yes, thanks again Ralf for sharing this find.

Cheers

Hi Ralf,
I'm Filippo and I'm new here in the forum. Perhaps you can help me.
I try to use simlab composer demo, but it doesn't make the render because it's a demo version.
I don't find the way in order to test the program, to see the result of a my a project without buy it.
I have seen that is possibile to recive a demo licence with 10 save. I try to make it through the license dialog inside the help menù of the program. But nothing is happened.
How can I do it?
I'm very interested to Simlab composer and I'll be afraid to lose the current offert.

Thank Filippo.

Jamie

Good begin!
5 min of work (first time I use it and I've never made renders with other software) and all in default.

Although I like the ease of use and render quality of Simlab Composer (I tried the demo a month or so back), I was not that favorably impressed with its render speed compared to the old HyperShot demo I tried last year, or even to more full-fledged renderers like in modo or Lightwave. Would anyone care to comment on their experience with Simlab Composer as far as render times go?

I'm still toying with the idea of buying a copy before the current offer ends at the end of the month, but right now the render time issue has me leaning more towards putting that money to some other use (like a down payment on an Adobe CS5 upgrade ;-) ...

---

Dave,
I think it's the same render engine, but without the real time ray tracer. So it's like the old style "click and wait for progressive render".

Maybe key/hypershot just seem faster because they present you with something super fast, although it's not done cooking yet???

Hi to all,

Free studio lighting HDR images.

I have found this link on the 3d-coat forum:

Enjoy,

I would add this: 12 x HDRI... some with LDR background plates
