I'd 'y' knit GI says I tidy king!
just a bit of fun....text object created with Blender, the rest created by me with Terragen 2, vegetation by Mr Lamppost and Lightning (thanks!)!
Welcome to the wonderful world of self-promotion. ;D I do a lot of renders with my handle in them. I use it for scaling.
Not sure if anyone can help... I'm trying to render 3d text with a smoothed squashed torus around the text. I'm using blender.
I smooth the torus in blender but when I export it and render in Terragen all of the facets are back again (ie it is not smoothed)
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I need to render it smoothed. I am going to attach the files as well.
Thanks in advance!

If there are options in Blender at the export time for smoothing the OBJ try that.
If not you can use Poseray (it is a free program) for example to smooth the object.
Sometimes even importing and exporting helps.
If not there are smoothing options in Poseray.
Thanks for the replies!
I just figured out that I was only using 48 major segments and 12 minor segments on my torus.
Once I bumped this up to the max, my renders are finally how I want them :)
So how many blender fans are out there in the terragen community?
Now if I can only remember how I made the obj's reflective... time for some more forum searching :)

Try the reflectivity tab of the object's shader...
Or, if it's a surface layer, put a reflective shader in between.

There are some good tutorials on the u-tube.
