NXT Studio Complex Material Translation

[akinlolu olugboji]

Nxt Studio is a wonderful rendering machine. Recently discovered that once a material has more than one map apart form the difusse map it does not translate well from autocad, but the material perview in the material panel of NS show well but the maps are missing and have to be re-assigned in NS.

Working on it.  The roof tile ones that you sent are missing bitmaps.  The other ones have some minor issues that I've almost got sorted out.

Here is it and some more I discovered would not translate well.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Here is what?  Be more systematic.  If you're sending the bitmaps for the roof tiles let me know where they are.

[akinlolu olugboji]

Bitmap for roof

Here is the map.

Here is the nxt studio version. Notics the incomplete translation of the shelf to the right of the tv.

Here is the AutoCad Pluggin version also using the hybrid engine. The shelf renders fine here. Why? and any way to correct this?

Both are 25 passes, while with studio it took 7mins 28sec, with pluggin it took 6mins 46sec.

Here is the furniture in question if it might help.

I'm not promoting layer 0 correctly from within a block-- I'll take a look at it.  In the meantime, if you explode the blocks and place the resulting boxes on the correct layer you get this:

Thanks.

When doing interior, I bring in any other thing apart from the walls, windows, floor and ceiling as X-ref. Which I believe is where the problem is in Nxt Studio.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Not related to xrefs, no.  Not this problem anyway.
