For the most part I have stopped using RPCs as well. The only content used are cars.
1. Planting can be very subjective and there is simply not enough content to satify most projects.
2. Placement of RPCs can only be tested once you do a test rendering and moving a plant, tree, bush etc around until they are just right is tedious at best.
3. When all of this is done on PS everything is done in real time plus you can modify brightness, contrast, color, shape and even shadows to get the end result you want in a fraction of the time. I will say it takes alot of practice but I feel its worth the time and effort.

As far as I can remember there is ArchVision plugin for AutoCAD. You can insert your RPC content into Acad drawings and render it in nXt. Personally I stopped using RPCs for quite a long time now.
Also, I remember there was a discussion in this forum about the squared shadow of RPC and the incomplete transparency issue as well. Try to search through archive of threads.

I will be attempting this soon also. My previous work has not needed to be very accurate and I now have to step up on my details. I will be attempting to make rpc's in the next 2 weeks. My content that I referred to is also photoshop

Thats's right. But what I'm struggling with is to place RPC using nXt,so shadows, indirect lights could be calculated. Any idea how to do this?

Would /could it still be considered an rpc even if is placed in photoshop. As "planar content"?

Well... Anyway, very well done.

Hi Maciej... there were no RPCs used in the image. All planting, grass and sky are done in photoshop.

Very nice RPC's.

"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 :-("
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
