Yup, thanks, it makes a good test for speed.

I did a speed test using this with the old versus new lighting systems, and there is no difference in display speed between them.

Well MoI is rock solid, I was more thinking about crashing when meshing at very high settings.
But not when displaying it, styles are hidden so you can see how the model is constructed.
Maybe a laptop with integrated graphics would have more problems I dont know.

Perfect :D Now I need to make one even more complex aha *joke*

"Did you actually run into a crash when running on some particular machine?"

I tried hard but even at 1° I didn't crash. But I work on 2.4ghz quads with 8gb of DDR2.
Im impressed that MoI can display 970'000 ngons in wireframe.

Wow :D

>> Well MoI is rock solid, I was more thinking about crashing when meshing at very high settings.

The meshing engine stops before killing you system if you are using too extreme settings.
It was added just after the meshing optimization, when it was esay too fill 3 gigs of geometry in few seconds :)

I was never able to crash MoI that way.

Metallic display style with specular highlights added now:

Very nice and impressive work.
I'm testing MOi and find it very usable.
Looking at works like this is meaning a lot to me.

Spend a couple of minutes (about 15 in fact) in Bunkspeed's Hypershot.
Here is the result.

Cheers!

Really nice render result tek!

Thanks DesuDeus et al for sharing your knowledge.
I really like the monochrome renders. Does anyone know if I can achieve simular results with Carrara, or if I can import a moi file into photoshop and create a simular effect?

I rendered a small animation some time ago and didn't had time to share it...
I uploaded it on my vimeo account :)
View it here

There's some framerate errors I messed up in Cinema 4D but that's not important

You can also see a different version here
(the video is under "Animation 3D > 2009 > next button > EDIROL roland")
Le Studio Digital is where I work (learn also) currently its only two people :D

@keith1961
Thanks :)
The monochrome renders are a mix of Ambient Occlusion (wich make nice gradients around geometry) and Cell shading (wich make those outlines) Try to find Ambient Occlusion inside Carrara, I know there's ambient occlusion since Carrara version 5.
You cant fake ambient occlusion in photoshop it will be too difficult and not realistic enough.

Very neat result animation!

Yes the animation result is pretty good.

Lighting is good, only one seem to be not fitting is the screen of the monitor.

But if work was for animation, compare to quality of the Monitor,it is well done.

The screen?
There's no screen :O

Was commenting on the video reel you put on your previous message. sorry for the confusion

The model is available for download here - http://shapenoid.com/Audio-recorder
The old link was dead :)
