Kerkythea materials

To ease your rendering and speed them up using Kerkythea, I have prepared different material packs. If you have also bought my e-book on Kerkythea that is on SCF shop may enjoy these ready to use materials.

They include plastic ,ice and colored glass.

To grab the materials please see the related page on Twilight render forum

To have the Kerkythea guide book please see Sketchucation shop.

Kerkythea guide book

Recently I revised the KT fast start e-book. James Hanningan honored me to review all the book.
It is easy to follow fully illustrated and covers daily needs on rendering specially for those who are using Sketchup and are in the career of architectural jobs and are interested to make their client happy with realistic renders.
Kerkythea or KT is still a great free render engine with lots of unbelievable hidden potential and treasures. my old KT fast start book is still free and now has exceeded more that 20000 downloads.
The current version is completely re-written from scratch. Hope you enjoy reading it !
More extra tips and trick will be added soon.
You may find it here:

The price is reasonable. Free material packs are also included.

Thearender , new powerful render engine

finally the wonderful Thea render engine released.it is simple to use, fast and comes with wonderful features, such as biased and unbiased render method support, relight, motion blur, DOF... here are some of my renders using Thea. specially I like the relight system. the interesting point on this render engine is that DOF doesn't effect the render time!!!!
it's core is developping by Ioannis (the KT developer). you can obtain it from here:
