  1. Also, that toon core looks awesome! (better than Penguin *cough*cough*) Did you model the wood floor or can you make a material do that?
  2. Ah, very helpful. I'll give that a try this weekend. So all the materials have to be assigned inside the block, correct? I meant do you get to see a wireframe preview of the shot in the standalone, similar to what you'd see in rhino, so that you can tweak the shot a bit. Move the camera around, etc. Or do you have to go back into rhino to do that?
  3. I've been following the development of Fry with great interest. I finally ownloaded the demo and played with it VERY briefly but I have a few questions i couldn't find the answer to on my own. I wasn't able to crack HOW the instancing works exactly from Rhino. You create a box then tag it with the instance tool and somehow connect it/ reference to another file, right? I wasn't successful in getting this to work. I do work for event planners regularly so being able to take advantage of instancing a table set up 50-100 times would be great. Also, does the stand alone app have any wireframe preview capabilities?
  4. No, you cannot use .mat materials in V-ray for Rhino. They have a converter available but you must have Vray for MAx already so it kind of defeats the purpose. There are also so many goodies available in Vray for Max that aren't in the rhino version that when you do manage to convert them they give nowhere near the same result. But its been a week so I would imagine you've had time to figure this out by now.
  5. Works like a charm, thanks Michael!
  6. This is the normal state of affairs. I have an external drive that I use to get around this the few times I've needed something on the other partition. For some reason an external can be Fat32 any size and seen by both OS's.
  7. Hmmm, doesn't seem to work with Viz 2008. Any other suggestions?
  8. Sweet I'll give this a try. Thanks much, Michael!
  9. So I have a bunch of max files that I am trying to get over to Rhino by way of Viz 2008 and none of the file formats under "export" in viz give me very good results, 3ds seems to explode everything every which way. I've heard obj is good but the option seems to be missing even though its in the help file. Am I missing something?
  10. http://www.evermotion.org/index.php?unfold=download&showdownload=yes I think the first link in the hdri section is a really good hdri of a moonlit scene.
  11. I use another pano stitcher called Pano2QTVR that I really like. You don't have to do any of the complicated installation stuff like with panocube. It already has the hyperlinks available in the free version and the professional version is only $38.
  12. It's fairly straightforward. (that's why I love me the Rhino) Go to Tools -> Options -> Aliases From there you can edit which alias (aka keyboard shortcut) does what. You can also make new ones or even import someone else's settings. I've set up the commands I use most in Autocad to be the same in Rhino as well as creating commands for those I use most in Rhino. Another great tip that took me awhile to find was the "float to top" option for all the tool bar buttons. If you Shift + right mouse click over any button you'll get a dialog box that has a "float to top" option you can check off. This is kind of simple way of customizing your tool bars for the task at hand.
  13. Wow! I particularly like the night shot. Where can we get these HDR maps? IF they are for sale anywhere I'd love to get a link so I can get my night library going.
  14. And it supports Rhino V4! Which isn't even out yet!
  15. Rhino isn't really geared toward architecture per se. Kind of the way Autocad isn't necessarily geared toward architecture. You can make any surface you could dream up but how that translates into a building is still dependent on the smarts of the end user. There are plenty of architects out there using Rhino however and increasingly there are plug-ins and scripts being made to help meet the demands of architecture. Rhino is exceptionally easy to use, if you are adept at Revit and Max you will have no trouble at all. In fact you will wonder why they made those programs so damn complex.
