I'm not real impressed with those sets for some reason. Sad

How do you make those nice renderings? With LDCad only?

No, I think that this one was done with LDView. But LDCad renderings have the same quality level (sometimes even better), you just have a little less control on framing and lighting direction (View -> editing View -> OpenGL view export). The only "trick" I use it to create a huge image (the initial one was 4000x4000) then resize it down. Note that Tom Burger's rendering in the post below was done with a ray-tracing program (PovRay I guess)

Yeah, virtual chains lack the slack offered by physical ones!
Quote:Rendering without chain and string, studio refused to performed ...
A weird one... I tried to debug more finely (using delete one by one/try render) to see what caused Studio renderer to crash.
- Chains (as expected, they are just a collection of parts) worked fine.
- Most strings worked fine, except for Wing string RH... I tried to tweak it to no avail, so I finally recreated it by duplication/mirroring of (working) Wing string LH.
- I also had to modify maxmerge to 1 to avoid triggering Studio scaled parts bug.
Attached a modified file that works fine.
I also tried to understand what difference between working and not working strings caused the problem, but couldn't find anything meaninful Sad

I made a little step towards understanding: turns out that this string was rubber black, after changing it to plain black the model renders fine. But it's not strictly a problem with rubber colors, since other parts set to rubber black render fine. Sad

I've pretty much given up with trying to please Studio with flexible parts. I just export the flex file and put it in the CustomParts folder. Then create a Studio specific file and remove the embedded flex objects.

That's what I did initially, but it's quite an hassle. Once you have created/modified the templates, it works well (the problem with Marc's file beeing the exception Big Grin )
