"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 :-("
advanced rendering for AutoCAD
Starting Nxt
We have been using Accurender 3.1 in autocad 2006 uptill now
Now we like to shift to nxt for rendering
Can some one help us on ...
1, How do I get materials, lights, plants. Old accurender 3.1 library with my customisation, and New accurender nxt libraries.
2, How do I use RPCs, a friend has given me his RPCs for start, but I am unable to use old RPCs. How should I proceed? Are these different from others? Is there any RPC library for nxt? Can I customize my own RPCs?
3, My models are mainly plines with thickness and width plus 3dface and solids. when rendering with nxt, all sharp edges of plines get rounded like you fillet the solids. How to control this? do we need to change some variables?
4, During rendering any xclip block does not clip and renders as a whole block
Please, can someone help on these issues?
Thank you..

I can answer some of your questions:
At the top of the nXt palette there is a cogwheel symbol. Click on it and you should see an option -Convert Legacy AR Material Library. This will update your old materials to nXt.
It won't change the original mlib file in any way so don't worry. nXt materials are stored as individual files in a folder similar to image files.
To use RPCs you need the correct AutoCAD plug in. Do a search here for RPC. I think there may even be a tutorial.
Polylines with thickness are not supported in nXt. Model with solids, 3D faces, surfaces and regions.
Do a search for Xclip. The subject has been discussed before.

There is a Faceted switch in the Object Properties page which may fix your problem with polylines. Polylines with arcs are no longer supported. XClip is not supported. Here are some resources which may help with some of your other issues (just click on the links.)
The plants article has a section on legacy plants.
Lots of new nXt stuff is available on this site (see the Download menu options.) Additional nXt content, maintained by others, is available on www.accustudio.com.

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,
exacvtly what i found out.
Only did't know what to dfo with the AO map.."
