<p>Hi all.</p>
<p>Sadly the company I work for (Sven Christiansen) has gone into liquidation and is no longer trading.</p>
<p>As a result there is now a very high spec workstation (with monitor) and powerful render farm going spare.</p>
<p>These will be auctioned off by the receivers for a pittance unless there is someone in the UK who would like to put in an offer to grab them first.</p>
<p>The workstation is a Dell precision with dual Xeon gold processors (24 cores) and a Quadro RTX 4000…</p>

<p>These will be auctioned off by the receivers for a pittance unless there is someone in the UK who would like to put in an offer to grab them first.</p>
<p>The workstation is a Dell precision with dual Xeon gold processors (24 cores) and a Quadro RTX 4000 graphics card.</p>
<p>The render farm comprises of four dual core (80 cores) Xeon rack-mount units which take up just two rack units.</p>
<p>The monitor is a Benq 5K 27" (I think).</p>
<p>If anyone is interested please contact William O'Brien at wob@sven.co.uk.</p>
<p>I don't know if I will be working with Accurender in any future employment, but it's been fun while it lasted. Thanks to Roy and the team for an amazing bit of software.</p>

<p>Is there an update to Accurender Studio and does it work on AutoCAD 2022?</p>
<p>I've tried running the existing one, but it says it has expired.</p>
<p>I was hoping to do a bit more testing while my workload was a bit quieter.</p>

<p>Wonder if anyone can help. At home I run Windows 7, at work I have Windows 10.</p>

<p>At home I use Accurender 3 with Acad ADT3, installed by loading my old Accurender 3 disk, the downloading the latest *arx file, which I see on my home computer is Accuren3_2000.</p>

I have tried simply copying the Accuren3_2000.arx from home to work into the Accurender folder in the usual location, but when trying to 'load applications' from within ADT3, it does not load up.</p>

<p>Maybe there's a more recent download/update or Accurender version that I am obliged to use in this situation? -if compatability issues are at play.</p> I GOT AN ERROR WHILE RENDERING IN AUTOCAD 2010tag:accurender.ning.com,2021-07-28:6293855:Topic:2272052021-07-28T22:34:45.246Znorton torreshttp://accurender.ning.com/profile/nortontorres

<p>A user asked about the different ways to add grass to a model. Below are sample renderings showing 3 different approaches, along with links to download the groundcover and material files used.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">1. Textured Material</span> - Use a material with a grass texture image.</p>
<p>This model was rendered by simply using the textured nXt material call <strong>Grass-Rye_Dark.ArMaterial.</strong></p>
<p>This material is included with the standard nXt Material Libraries that can be downloaded here:</p>
<p><a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/mcneel/accurender/nXtMaterials_20110218.zip" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://s3.amazonaws.com/mcneel/accurender/nXtMaterials_20110218.zip</a></p>
<p><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/9127090679?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/9127090679?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">2. nXt Groundcover</span> - Use a nXt grass groundcover to represent the grass.</p>
<p>This is the same model with a grass ground cover applied to the lawn:</p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/9127096301?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/9127096301?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>This creates a more realistic looking grass, since the groundcover add geometry representing blades of grass to the rendering, but takes more time to render than a simple textured material.</p>
<p>The nXt groundcover used for this rendering can be downloaded here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.renderplus.com/downloads/Other/nXt_Grass/nXtGrass_Groundcover_250.zip">http://www.renderplus.com/downloads/Other/nXt_Grass/nXtGrass_Groundcover_250.zip</a></p>
<p>You can experiemt with the settings for the grouncover file, to change the size, density and other parameters, by editing it with the <strong>nXtPlantEditor</strong> which is installed with nXtRender. Note: You can change the height of the grass by changing the Foliage Width. <span>Because the aspect ratio of the blade of grass image is maintained, this will also set the height of the blade.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>Note: The groundcover file (*.ArGroundcover) can be selected and added to the model from this menu:</p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">3. Displacement Material</span> - Use a material with a displacement texure to add nodes of height to the image to simulate blades of grass:</p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/9127097684?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/9127097684?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>The nXt displacement material used for this rendering can be downloaded here:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.renderplus.com/downloads/Other/nXt_Grass/Grass-%20Displacement.ArMaterial">https://www.renderplus.com/downloads/Other/nXt_Grass/Grass- Displacement.ArMaterial</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Use the <strong>nXtMaterialEditor</strong> to change the <strong>Height, Facet, and Z Offset</strong> for the displacement.</p>
<ol>
<li>Height is the height of the displacement (from the surface) ie longer blades of grass.</li>
<li>Facet is how the surface is broken up. Higher will have more detail. Like facets of a curve.</li>
<li>z offset is where the surface plane starts. You may want to push the surface back to accommodate the lift from the height variable. </li>
</ol>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am hoping to get some clarity on how to modify and add groundcover. I have searched everywhere on the forum and online to find how to save a plant as .ArGroundcover, but I cannot find anything. I am using AccuRender Plant Editor and once I finish editing the plant that I want to use as a groundcover, I click "save plant as", but all it allows me to save as is .ArTree. I have a deadline to get this render finished, but I cannot for the life of me figure this out. </p>
