Imagemodeler Users? QUICK!

[Ken Walton]

Anyone use Realviz Imagemodeler? How effective/efficient is it for furniture, appliances and other interior objects? I need to get my model dbase up to par quickly, and what I've seen offered reasonably online hasn't been the best quality. I'd rather do this stuff myself if I can - my client uses a lot of expensive furniture in his real-world projects and I need to duplicate these as efficiently/realistically as possible. I've downloaded the demo, but the damn thing crashed/aborted 3 times (depleting all allowed uses) before I was able to get through step 2 of the "getting started" tutorial. Most of the educated reviews I've received from you guys in the past have proven to be extremely accurate and beneficial. If I can get some honest ones for imagemodeler, I'll base my decision on them.

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi Ken,

 

I've tried the demo about a month ago as well. Honestly, I am very disappointed. The idea rocks, really, but I ran into a hard time modeling. Setting up pictures, adding points/vertices is nice and easy after completion of the tutorials, but modeling is another piece of cake.

For box-like shapes it works really well, but the boxmodeler is not intuïtive, not like max's sub-object modelling anyway. Can you imagine, I just could not model a simple car in Imagemodeler?

 

I've abandonned the software at the moment, giving a shot at DSculptor - free copy of v1.0 with 3Dworld magazine - later this week. I'll keep you informed.

 

If someone knows about some nice advanced tutorials, I'd be most happy to receive a link
