Great work Danny.

I'd love to render that model in HyperShot :)

Ed

That's a beautiful model, can't wait to see him all shiny.

Definitely excellent work all around!

A nice testament of what can be achieved using MoI!

Hi,

The thumb in picture three looks
almost organic, interesting.

That's awesome Danny! Can't wait to see the renders as well!

- Michael

Cool Danny,

I just don't like the legs that much, especially when looking in the front view ... probably because the knees are not aligned.

Thanks guys, the render is coming :)

@ Ed > I'd love to render that model in HyperShot :)
That's what I'll be using :)

@ Paolo > The thumb in picture three looks almost organic, interesting.
It took me a few goes to get that right.

@ PaQ > I just don't like the legs that much, especially when looking in the front view.
Yeah, I know what you mean, It's a 50's thing, all the reference pictures I have show the legs a bit wonky like that.

Cheers

Great details!

Marc

Congratulations!

Hi all, as promised.
I did some sepia shots and I think I prefer them to the colour.

Thanks for looking :)














Cheers

Amazing job! I definitely prefer the sepia renderings, it gives more of a "'50s" feeling!

Nice job Danny,

I really like the sepia ones too.

I like both versions - great work. I hope you show these on the HyperShot gallery as well.

Ed

Wow!

Wow those details inside of the face mask area really stand out now.

Definitely the sepia ones are the coolest to go along with the whole vibe!

Fantastic...

Excellent work Danny.

Great to see people getting such nice clean, detailed models from MoI.

Danny,
If you dont mind my asking.

I'm demoing hypershot right now and the 3dm import fails horribly. The IGS import just makes an OBJ. (May prefer Michaels)

What method did you use to get robby to hypershot?

And you must export all the pieces seperate?? As they all come as one solid piece so no materials applied seperatly to various surfaces?

Any insight will help.

Thanks,
Burr

And just to add to what I think I know at this point is:

Hypershot doesnt like N-gons so it has to be quads and tris. ???

As far as seperating everything out, their help talks about having to have a material assigned to each, which leaves me with export all parts out seperatly. ????

I wonder if styles and such will play a role here???

Anyway, just a foot up would be helpful.

Thanks,
Burr

Hi Burr, just a quick note on Hypershot - it tends to kind of glom objects together which can make it hard to assign separate materials to different objects.

If you run the SeparateOBJ utility on your .obj file saved from MoI (yes, use Quads & Triangles since it doesn't like n-gons all that well), then that arranges it with different material assignments per object and then Hypershot should recognize objects as different individual entities that can be assigned different materials.

The SeparateOBJ utility is here:
http://moi3d.com/wiki/Resources#SeparateOBJ_editor

And yup, it is a goal in v2 to improve this by being able to assign styles, which will then go out as material assignments in the .obj file which HyperShot should recognize.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for that Info. I am finding stuff out but it is a bit greek to me. Because it wouldnt open my 3dm files at all, and said it does, and after reading up a bit on "Materials", On a hunch I opened Rhino...Poof, Hypershot as a plug-in. Imagine that. Not knowing Rhino all that well I poked around on the object properties and found material, and the option to assign hypershot material. Though much more limited, I chose some materials and saved and opened model in Hypershot and Presto. Assignable pieces. So I understand enough to continue and you may have to set it clear for me one more time.

The 3dm import was much more desirable for me than trying to obj export, though I did hear you just tell me that "seperateOBJ" would also solve my problem (I always forget about that) I liked what I saw come out of Rhino (my MoI model just saved by it).

I just thought, "Oh well, looks like I'll be buying rhino to export with if I want Hypershot"....But I thought I just heard you say that MoI's new Styles will do this same things for my 3dm files by assigning some kind of "Material attribute" that Hypershot is looking for??? And I will be dancing around my little statue again?

Thanks,
Burr
