MAJIKMIKE -
I really like the render - nice dramatic lighting. Again, a fantastic model and I'm trying it out right now in KeyShot (still can't get the grill exported out of MoI due to memory limit).
Do you mind if I post a KeyShot version later tonight?
Ed
From: Mike K4ICY (MAJIKMIKE)
Thanks Ed!
Yes, go ahead - that's why I posted it. Have at it!
Ed, try this out:

It is the .obj that worked for the wire mesh. Can't guarantee it, but give it a try.

Hi Majik,
Just a mention on the original surface you had import issues with, that is a "joined surface" and not a solid, so it may have had something to do with that. Although you did get it going with quads and tris, so it is just information/speculation.
From: Michael Gibson
Hi Burr that kind of looking thing where triangles seem to be leaking out of an n-gon outline usually means that something went wrong with a process of converting n-gons into triangles.
In order to convert an n-gon into triangles, one edge of the n-gon will be connected to a point somewhere else on the n-gon. If it's not handled carefully then the connection to that other point could cross over the outside area of the n-gon if it's a complex concave type shape.
That's something that can tend to happen pretty easily in n-gon triangulation functions, it's not all that easy to make a really robust triangulator.
If the rendering program that you are exporting to has those kinds of problems in handling complex n-gons, then you'll need to use the "Export: Quads & Triangles" option to do the triangulation in MoI instead of relying on the rendering program to do it.

hi Majik
i exported your mesh without problems, (i don't understand exactly..you got this mesh in obj or not??? )if needs take a look below
for Rich
sorry for misunderstandings:MY APOLOGIZES.This is a peaceful forum,this also is main reason when i decided to post some stuff
I respect you and i told you
in dutch without dubts:Mijn excuses

Oooh niiiice.. that's clean lookin' Ed! :-)
KeyShot is good with metals.

The reference circle has to have the same number and spacing of web control points.
If you revolve a flat curve - even with points making up that curve - MoI will make a planar surface with four points at the corners.
You need to lift one of the control points in Z a little before revolving it, so that you end up with a reference circle with a control web.
Therefore, Flow will match structure to structure.
See below:
You can see that the structure for the reference circle is like unto the target shape - see the web control structure.
Hope this helped.

Thanks Magic (MAJIKMIKE) !!!. I have received the nice result.

Grendel - that is one beautiful render! Good job!
I like the old English type "MoI" on the cone dome.
Thanks!

Hello,
Quick render done with Thearender 1.1. Nice tut and model Majik.
From: Mike K4ICY (MAJIKMIKE)
NICE render QSTexo! You can even see the glints in the mesh.
BTW, what render mode did you use, and what was the time?
The more I look at different renderings of the mesh, the more it's complexity freaks me out a little... that was a LOT of wire objects!
I really appreciate the different styles and approaches when it comes to everyone's renderings.
NOTE to all::: Feel free to try your hand at rendering the mesh and speaker if your wish and in a few days, I'll post them in another entry in the gallery.

Hello,
TR1 Unbiased, about 20 minutes cooking time, but I'm not sure when it cleaned up since I was working on other things. Thearender continues to impress me, the speed increase is noticeable in 1.1. You have a good idea how things look within the first minute of the unbiased render, and even faster with the interactive render in the viewport. No post processing was done to the image, that is straight from Thea.
From: ed (EDDYF)
QSTexo - Nice job. Thea is impressive.
Ed Ferguson
From: Mike K4ICY (MAJIKMIKE)
Aside from Thea being the new commercial version of Kerky, and having the same core rendering engine.
What it the difference as far as rendering quality and rendering performance in the nitty-gritty of each app?
From: OSTexo
Hello,
I have used Kerkythea quite a while ago, and I am not sure what bits of code they share, that would be a question for the Thea forums. I also can't speak to performance differences, although I can say I have a good idea of what the image is going to look like inside one minute with the unbiased engine and even less time with the interactive render. I think I will end up getting Motiva Colimo on special to use alongside Thea, it looks great for product design and architecture.

OK - Here's my KeyShot version with the grill on top.
