Made this in cad about 8 years ago ...... Just wanted to show what Blender 2.74 can do for a product shot . Blender now imports OBJ with the vertex normals correctly, and cycles is amazing for this type of work.. I was looking at buying MODO ,they show some amazing work in their gallery , but i dont think i need too now .... anyway i welcome any feedback ...PS..I will be purchasing MOI shortly

Cheers

Hi qmc, that's a great looking model and render! That's great that Blender is importing vertex normals now, that will greatly increase render quality for CAD models.

Thanks for the kind words Michael.

Cool result! For a nice price! ;)

Blender don't yet accept Nurbs format ?

Looks like a great render to me.

Can't see the point in forking out $1800 for modo if your getting this quality out of cycles & blender.

Nice Render !

If I may suggest, you could play with "dither" in render/post-processing tab, to avoid the banding on the background.

You can not import Nurbs natively , yet the the developers have implemented Custom Vertex Normals ..V2 as of 2.74 , which retains the vertex normal data from the host application . You have a choice to import OBJ or FBX at the moment .. I have been waiting 8 years for this to happen in Blender.

Patience is a virtue! ;)
Maybe the same time for begin to manage Blender! :)

Yes its been a long wait ......I just Purchased Moi3d A few hours ago and have started a new model ....I will post some screen shot of Blender view port to show how well it imports now ...i have try a lot of different software demo's and keep coming back to blender ...now i have moi3d in my tool box i am in heaven .

Yes you are right about the banding , thanks for the feedback , i be sure to get some dithering happening on the next render .
