AccuRender nXt

advanced rendering for AutoCAD

Is this capability available in Accurender nxt?

Hi every body.

I received an e-mail from Bob McNeel and I visited the following link

http://irendernxt.com/video/material-channels-for-irender?utm_sourc...

It seems that Irender uses the capability of Material channel to change material colors and lighting properties. If this functions are available in Accurender how I can use it. I tried the channel functions, but didn't find the way to change colors. Probably I am missing something.

Best regards.

Nope-- this is IRender only.

would it be possible to incorporate such a function? There are numerous applications, where it could be very helpful...

No.

Interesting - I thought iRender was just a build of nXt for another modeller so what is possible there must be possible here...

anyway - we have at least material mask...speaking of which - would it be possible to change it from different shades of gray to completely different colors? Some shades are too close, which makes selection difficult...

Of course it's possible.  He's basically messing with the material mask.  It's not something I'm interested in.

Buy a copy of IRender seems the solution.

for an AutoCAD user, this is very valuable advice.

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

"nXtRender doesn't use the AO texture image settings for anything, so don't bother trying to use that. I would start use the Diffuse textures at 100% and experiment with the levels of the Specular Reflection. You might need to toggle the…"
