RPC

I am using some ArchVision RPC objects. I admit they are old and i don't have a subscription anymore.... but they have worked in the past. Problems I am currently having is these objects are not casting shadows and there is a strange "shaded" area behind some of them. 

1) is this common? does NXT still work with RPC?

2) should i just uses an object to get the right shadows? I don't have any Palm Trees and that is why i am defaulting to RPC.

3) i am willing to pay a subscription but need to know if it will still work with NXT or not.

Most RPC trees are just 2D tree images and don't seem to cast correct shadows very well in nXt.

You could try making some palm trees with the nXt Plant Editor and then saving and using those palm trees.

My mistake.. all it was is a dumb setting that had turn on the shadow and remove the jitters. Sorry! NXT works fine with RPC...

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…"
