AccuRender nXt

advanced rendering for AutoCAD

So we ran a rendering for what ended up being 150 hours and came across a massive glitch or bug, I'm not sure what happened at all. It was a single task 1500 pass rendering so it shouldn't have taken nearly that long to begin with. So I grew suspicious there was an issue, upon completion I checked the image out and somehow even though multiple tests were run and the rendering showed fine in the nXt render a material bled throughout the entirety of the rendered image at approximately 6 feet up and angles to about 6.5 feet.

Logging probably wouldn't help here (even if it existed).  This is the sort of situation where the software likely will not realize it has a problem-- but just go on crunching merrily away.  

You can pursue this the normal way, start with sending images (reduce the res if necessary) and explain how you got them-- res, render engine, farm specs, etc..  I have to warn you that farm problems are notoriously difficult to debug or even reproduce.  (Your best bet is always a reproducible problem.)  We have very few farm users so the thing tends not to get scrubbed as well as some other aspects of the software.  OTOH we do have a few users who have had good success with the farm.

Alternatively you can try to modify something you suspect might have caused the problem.  For example, render time is usually proportional to the total number of pixels (width * height of image).  If the slowdown is more drastic than this it may be caused by a machine on the network running out of memory.

If you're not already using the newer, hybrid engine, that may be a better way to go for you.  As many runs as you want can be combined using this engine.  If a run or two fails there's usually a salvageable portion.

Hmm, I figured a log wouldn't help much I just wanted a way to verify the problem that arose was not due to human error.  At this junction in time we're going to to be running the same rendering again using the accurender and the farm at a reduced pass count to see if the issue can be reproduced. If it is in fact something that can be reproduced I will as you suggested post further updates. In the meantime I will check into the hybrid engine, thank you.

"For compatibility with AutoCAD 2026 you would need to purchase a license upgrade for nXtRender (AccuRender).  As an AR5 license holder you are eligible for a discount which we can give to you if you contact us at support@renderplus.com."

Roy/ All,Currently use AR5 with AutoCad Architecture 2017. Have, and typically use ACAD 2022, but AR5 doesn't load, so I revert back to 2017 when it's time to use AR5).Long time user...had to create new profile due to Architecture firm closing (boss retired). Am now with GC firm and have been using old computer from Arch firm (Boxx Apexx 2) with above mentioned software. Been working fine. Just got new new computer, and am updating software.Downloaded AutoCad Architecture 2026. Where can I get…See More

CAN WE GET PETER MILNER TO TRAIN SOME OF US FOR A TOKEN ?

Good day, forum members,I was thinking that we could each, if interested, contribute a significant token to give Peter Milner and David to train us virtually in nxt render for Autocad. Am not sure he still uses it but the experience he has spanning over 20 years cannot be underestimated. I wish the forum co-ordinators could look into this. So that more of us will produce realistic renders with the paid version of nxt render and we will be able to encourage other users of other more advanced…See More
