AR3 "Daylight" Fixtures...
I just opened an older interior model in AR5 that I last worked on in Acad2004 and AR4. There are a bunch of AR3 "daylight" fixtures over all the exterior wall openings. They don't appear in the AR5 Lights list, and they don't appear to doing anything when I render in AR5. I'm guessing the nXt platform wasn't set up to handle those (for some reason I'd never be able to understand... so don't bother explaining). What I'd like to know is whether there is something in AR5 that might be called an equivalent type of light source.
Thanks

Put a pane of glass in your window. Assign a clear material to it. Select the pane of glass and in Accurender Object Properties select "Daylight Portal".
If you've modelled the pane of glass as a thin surface or region, then also select "Thin" in the object properties.
I would also suggest that the clear material you use has an IOR of 1.0. It'll speed up the calculations.

Great! I'm guessing there's someplace in the AR5 manual or in Al Hart's book that describes solutions like this... True?

OBJ Plant Issue - Diffuse Maps
Hi to anyone;maybe a similar issue as Mr.Holz announced recently, (PBR Texture question):-added a obj. plant via 'Textured Mesh Objects' widget-reassigned maps (materials showed up, but with no maps attached, (although mtl. files are in the same folder as corresponding maps and obj files)-tried to render (see 'result')So my question is: Does anybody knew about how to handle Diffuse Maps in nXt, i suspect there is no interpretation of the UV-Coordinates?Any hints and help kindly appreciated!…See More

"Thanks for your kind words.
Yes, all plants are generated with nxt plant-editor.
I have used leaves from Marc Chaumier's plant library.

"Very nice piece. Brilliant work.
Are all these plants nxt render plants ?
They look very good. Ground cover is so thoughtful."
"Thank you so much."
"Sorry, do not exactly how to do it right.
If i sent you one or sets, could you "compose" one material as an example?
Maybe this is interesting for others too.."
"Thanks Rich,

Only did't know what to dfo with the AO map.."
