Cloud rendering
In case you're interested in what I'm working on right now. This is a new engine running on the Microsoft Azure cloud. Took two hours using a total of 64 cores. (8 x 8-core machines). Costs about $11.00.

What kind of problem do you see?
Does it simply not load?
Try using these appload instructions to see if you see any errors that occur when you try to load nXtRender.
Please use the following procedure:
1. Type _appload at the command line.
2. Navigate to the folder where nXtRender was installed. This is normally C:\Program Files\AccuRender nXt.
3. Select one of the following files depending on your platform and your machine type (32 or 64 bit):
AccuRender nXt_21_.arx -OR- AccuRender nXt_21_64.arx (AutoCAD 2017)
4. Press Load
Check the AutoCAD command line to verify that the application loaded without error.
If you see any error messages, please send them to me.
At this point you should be able to type nxt or ar5 to launch the application.

OK, i am lost... Some one explain to me how to run NXT on the cloud. I set up my renderings over the weekend and then have to pray when i come in on Monday they are done. I am totally willing to pay a few $$ to not have to do that kind of risk...does Autodesk 360 render work with NXT maps and objects?

Yep. In a variety of development forms. I'll be showing some previews of new stuff soon.

Is cloud rendering still in development? It's the one major feature still not present in nXt.

It's in the new stuff, right now using a Microsoft service called Azure Batch. You'll need your own Azure Batch account to make it work, which is a bit cumbersome, but it seems to work nicely.

"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 :-("
