Can't Get Render Window Up
Started a rendering and reduced the ACAD/nXt windows. Started another ACAD session and did some separate work. Have closed the second session of ACAD...
Can't get the render window to come up...although the ACAD window comes up and is available to use. Have confirmed that the rendering is proceeding by noting the number of passes is increasing.
It's nXt Version 1.0.348 (yea, I know....old)...., Autocad Architecture 2016 and Windows 10.
Screen shop attached...Help?
Thanks,
John

Let it run overnight, thinking the window might be slow to appear due to processing. No luck...It was still processing though.
Clicked the x in the little preview window at the bottom of the screen.
The rendering window preview disappeared.
Clicked the start a rendering button and the rendering window appeared and asked if I wanted to save the current rendering…. I did.
All’s well….

Hover your mouse over the AutoCad session on the taskbar all hidden windows should pop up.
then right and click maximize the session you are interested in.

That's the way it's supposed to work....just wasn't cooperating. All the other windows popped up, just not the rendering window.
Tested it after with a simple model/rendering and it worked as expected. I have no answer as to the odd behavior. All's well now. Will set it to autosave in the future....
Thanks,
John

"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.

"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 :-("
