Please could you do a screenshot of the settings you used?
Of course :
I also did some small changes to your models.
You can find the modified project file HERE

Re: A Better Render Hi Cecilia, Thank you so much for doing this I really appreciate it. I just rendered it myself and it looks great. Will these settings work every time? I'd be interested to know how you changed the models? Many thanks, Stef |

Re: A Better Render I'd be interested to know how you changed the models? When you open the project file I linked to, you can see what I have done if you open Modify on your models: All the edge color instances have been set to Invisible. Sketchup models are a bit messy and need to be cleaned. My settings are quite universal, and will often render a nice image. If you open Modify 3D view , you will see that I have added a white solid texture to the sky. When selecting Enable sky lighting , you actually enable the sky to act as a source for image based lighting (IBL). You could have a look at THIS THREAD if you want to read more about IBL. You might also find some useful discussions and examples HERE. Cecilia . |

Re: A Better Render Hi Cecilia, I can see what you've done with the models. I tried the same settings on another project and once again I have some weird shading on the Data Racks - See image (what would cause this)? https://www.dropbox.com/s/tnzv7aiba4nvr7j/IBM_Data%20Centre%20-%20SRS.png?dl=0 I created a white PNG 1000px x 1000px which I used for the floor and the sky but not sure if that's correct or the right size? I have included the link to the project below. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dqzt7l7lzylp4cb/IBM_Data%20Centre%20-%20SRS.sh3d?dl=0 Sorry to keep asking all these questions and thank you so much for your help on this.

Re: A Better Render As said before, these weird images are because of back faces in DAE / Collada files. Hide their material as you did for edges. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: A Better Render If I make the back invisible nothing happens and if I make the front invisible then the detail disappears totally. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fzxxpr6d2oonst0/Image1.png?dl=0 How is doing this supposed to make any difference? |

Re: A Better Render Hiding the back faces won't show any difference in the 3D view or at the two lowest quality levels. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: A Better Render I'm using level 4 and the YafaRay rendering engine as per Cecilia's recommendation. There is obviously something else I'm missing? |

Re: A Better Render The image you posted in your previous message shows the 3D view not a rendered image. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |
