Hi Alex_037, I guess the model took some 3 weeks if done full time [but as it was done part time i guess it was spread over 2 years!!! LOL... Hope to produce a clay 'buck' soon. Expect that in the next few months. Thanks for your kind comments, and try sketchup of you fancy another go at 3D stuff, much easier to use than Autocad!! [made by google and its freee!!!]

Hi Scorchio, thanks for the kind words. Sketchup does have mesh smoothing, BUT this is only visible in sketchup, not in Artlantis for the photorenders unfortunately...

Hi Scorchio, I was exporting as a .3ds, and that may well have been the problem. Hoping to give Autodesk Inventor or Vectorworks 3D a spin soon...
