AR3 to Nxt
Hello, dont know how many of the old guard from the AR3 NG are here but around 10 years back I started my professional life in a firm with Ar3.
Now post recession, I would like to see if Nxt can fill the void in a new firm.
So here are my first questions
1) I dloaded the trial version but I cant get it to work both on the office PC (Win 7 64 Bit Acad 2007) or home pc (Vista 64 Bit Acad 2008). I tried even the manual add but I get the message (Ünable to load XXX file). Any idea whats up?
2) Migrating Ar3 Libraries
The only way I was able to make reasonably nice looking renders was primarily by creating my own libraries and textures. Is it easy to migrate the years of effort into Nxt?
Thats it for now.
Cheers
Birdman

Just the current state of affairs.
I got my tin foil hat on now and I'm in the US.
Glad to see you back.
I use all my old materials, some need a little tweeking and you always have to check to be sure textures and procedurals made the conversion. I've got to really relying on the new features of Nxt.

Yep, the materials bit was my primary concern, they helped get somewhat serious renders done albeit with some Pshop work. There are so many materials Ive made based on contributions from other members as well. I've got to really relying on the new features of Nxt. - Thats really encouraging for me.
Yes, the situation is very odd for the place, but completely overblown and skewed in the intl media. I also hate to see other nations being dragged unnecessarily into it. I also pray for the safety for all sides concerned here. As an Expat, Im keeping my head down! :)

"The wooden texture of the TV-Console looks quite decent.
The Wallpaper on the left has an interesting structure, maybe it would look even better, if you make the texture seamless + applying a little bit of depth, e. g. with highpass - filter in PS?"
"Thank you for help on this topic!
Will test 'Automesher LT' (developed by Automapki), if I run into troubles again.
[Sometimes I was wondering about, if this forum is still alive... .]"
"Good day,
I searched the former forum posts and found another option to solve this problem which is another plugin to autocad-----AUTOMAPKI. You can give it a try."

3ds +obj import works for older files-'xfrog-plants', for instance... .Comments + Critics appreciated!Hopefully accurender still survives!
"Found 'Textured Mesh Support' only works with obj and 3ds Files which do not contain PBR Maps.
To 'obj' converted newer 3ds do not render in nXt :-("
