Upgrade from AR4?
I purchased AccuRender 4+Blocks & Materials Bundle in Dec. 2009. Since then I've used it for a few basic projects but have not yet reached total proficiency. If I upgrade to ARnXt, will my AR4 Blocks & Materials Bundle still be usable? And, is there an upgrade path to nXt for AR4 users, or must we simply pay the price to buy the new product like first-time customers?

No upgrade pricing. The material libs from blocks and materials have been converted to nXt by Scott and will be made public soon. We haven't decided what to do with the blocks yet-- they kind of work already-- but could be made to work a little better wrt pre-assigned materials.
It is possible to convert most of the data in these yourself-- it's a little cumbersome but you can ask for specific help here.
You can download and try nXt before purchasing. Resolution will be restricted but everything else works. Again, feel free to ask questions here.

"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?"

Will test 'Automesher LT' (developed by Automapki), if I run into troubles again.

"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 :-("
