<p>Type nXt first to load it, then type (nxtengine 4). Low res renderings will process a lot faster. 640 x 480 will be ~ 4x faster than 1280 x 720. The time to render something varies approximately linearly with the total number of pixels.</p>

<p>Sorry Roy, For being so dim but I am running AutoCAD 2011 and I have AccuRender nXt 310 (06/04/2012) installed and when I follow your instructions and type (nXtEngine 4) at the command, complete with parentheses nothing happens! however it does load when I type NXT. What am I doing wrong?</p>

<p>Thanks Roy, I'll give it a go. Could you clarify why I should render at low resolution so "I don't drive myself crazy"</p>

<p>No, it does not. It's a new, experimental engine. Type <em>(nXtEngine 4)</em> at the command prompt-- include the parentheses. The Path Tracer is engine 1, the original (Packet Tracer) is engine 0. Render at low-res (640 x 480) or eq. when you're trying things so you don't drive yourself crazy.</p>

So I’m not very popular with the family for hogging the PC in pursuit of that knock out rendering but as you know it is quite addictive..</p>
<p>As promised here are some images of the rendered scene that I have been working on for my friend and his bookcase commission. I took the opportunity to refine my rendering skills on this exercise and here are some of my findings.</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Path Trace 334 passes taking 7 hours. Very pleased with this and did take Peter’s advice in the final one to soften the light through the window by applying cloudiness</li>

<ul>
<li>Rendering of bookcase with wood texture applied but without glossiness as I found that there were too many reflections and the white background was causing a milky sheen</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Bookcase with door open as it is a first draft, I do intend to add accessories which I will apply courtesy of Peter Milner, I will download some from AccuStudio <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.accustudio.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=0&func=select&id=25">http://www.accustudio.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemi...</a></li>

<ul>
<li>Here is the room scene with bookcase after 395passes taking 9 hours. In this one glossiness was applied to the wood and as you can see I have a white strip down the middle. I sure that if it was left longer to converge that the final result would look a lot crispier.</li>

<ul>
<li>In this one I took the glossiness off the wood and rendered for 422passes for 10hours.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>So in conclusion I am happy with the interior rendering using path tracer but must concede that it does take and awfully long time to resolve</li>
<li>I’m happy with the studio rendering of the bookcase without path tracer</li>
<li>Not so happy at how long it takes with the two together. The only way around this would be to set up a render farm to speed up the process...</li>
