Twilight Render User Forum

I called tech support after getting an alternative pc. Instead of two cpu's it had one with core 2 duo (8 cores and one chip as explained). When I got it here and checked it out there were a few errors. The system (F2) setup would not allow me to change settings boot from the hard drive, instead it ...

Fancy a laugh at my expense? The new wonder pc is being returned as the hardware faults are not fixable. I am going bak to t'store to find out what is what, lovely, not the thirteenth by any chance? Somewhere in an alternate reality? April fools day?

Hi Oli, as an update I have finally got to the bottom of this farcical event. Not 100% happy but I can live with the result. I have an almost identical pc which has 1 (ONE) chip with 8 cores.

Managed to get hold of a replacement which I am awaiting collection notification on. Al...

Hi Fletch, sorry, I think I managed to miss the target by a country mile. I was not talking about the twilight team coming up with such a piece of work, rather a general tome which deals with the rendering art as a whole. From start to finish, what is meant by anti-aliasing etc and general tips on t...

Thanks guys, not alone then. I appreciate that there are tips out there and here they are probably some of the best, however, My renders will not match those of the cogniscenti here and while I do not go for envy can see myself not achieving the same without more understanding of the techniques invo...

While I have rendered with a few programs now, I have barely scratched the surface of what is possible. I have a tutorial for TurboCad which I bought several years ago and frankly it was written in another language. I feel that there is room for someone with talent to produce a simple rendering tuto...

Very nice Ward, great renders mate.

Very kind, thanks very much.
