Hi,
I am new here and I love to use Keyshot for my 3D models. It's so much fun working with this program :).
This is one part that i have modeled in Pro/E and the expansion tank is used in our air cooling products.
Great material texture! Can you show us it or share it? Thanks
Thanks, i have downloaded the material texture from this site: http://mayang.com/textures/
Then go to metal and then click on flat textures. This is the texture that I used on the 3D model.
Thanks
If you can up the poly count to smooth the model out it would be a perfect render. What material did you use the texture on?
How do I smooth the modell out? I used cast steel as a base material, then applied the texture and rendered in realtime. I also adjusted gamma to get a more realistic look.
Increase the tessellation upon import.
I'm finding with my ProE models that adjusting the tessellation to .25 on import has been a nice sweet spot to keep triangle count low for faster rendering, but high enough to avoid surface faceting like on your expansion tank. ;)
In the meantime, I wish Keyshot also had the ability to adjust tessellation on Solidworks models the same as for ProE. This past weekend I needed to kick out five concepts in short order with Solidworks and Keyshot. Three of them had tessellation issues after import. ??? The triangles were quite evident on a few key surfaces, especially with metal materials applied. Step files weren't a quick alternative because I had broken out material values with different surface colors in Solidworks. Ultimately, I ended up correcting 2 of the final renders in Photoshop to meet my deadlines with quality renderings.

Thanks for the tips :), I didn't know that. I have always used the default value which is 0.5.
