ok some more modeling. sorry this isnt anything over complicated, but sometimes the boring every day stuff can still look good:) ( and be a pain to model )

Hi Dave,

Looks really nice,

You're using Fry right ? If so, which 3D software are you using to host fryrender ? (I suppose 3dsmax :P)
Just wondering what's your workflow :)

Excellent work (as always)!

Yes I'm curious too about the workflow. I'm trying to find the best way for pass moi models in 3DS Max for rendering with fryrender, but I still have some problem with transparent object.

Anyway you are enjoing moi!

Yes----not as easy as first thought!
Good practice exercises.

Rendered in Carrara6Pro from MoI .obj file save.

ps--I think I will go back to my favourite image format--B&W!

thanks peeps. i am actualy using cinema 4d to import the models and set up. the models dont even need tweaking when i import them \0/. i export as obj. i have tried 3ds max with obj but the models dont come in nice. so i tried a few others and found that iges comes in clean

Hi Dave - for 3DS Max instead of OBJ I would recommend using the new FBX export that is in the current MoI v2 beta (Sep-21 version).

However, there is a bug in MoI's FBX exporter regarding welding - you need to expand the mesh dialog and uncheck the "Weld vertices along edges" option for now when exporting to FBX. This is fixed up for the next beta release.

Then on top of that, make sure you've got the newest FBX importer plugin for Max, which you can get here:

That combination should work a lot better for exporting data into Max than OBJ.


For Cinema4D OBJ export works great.

thanks, i shall pass that on to my mate. i only tested it in max because he uses it. ( i only use max now when forced to) i love how clean the mesh comes into c4d so i cant ask for more :)

yes it is :)
