"Since there is no Ambient Occlusion Slot in 'Texture Set' Mode of the nXt-Material Editor,
I found another way around what to do with AO Maps:
Baking it into Diffuse; e.g. Multiplying AO Map over Diffuse/Albedo/Colour in…"
advanced rendering for AutoCAD
AutoCAD/Architecture 2012
Has anyone done any testing with either of these updates yet with NXT? I don't want any surprises, they always come at the worst times.
I have both now, if no one has looked at them yet I can install both here now and take a look later on.
Thanks

I actually haven't tested it yet. Let me know when you get a chance. I'm not anticipating any problems. You'll need to appload nXt the first time you run it in your new AutoCAD.

Does the nature of the "dwg" change in this release? As autodesk like to do, just to give to Roy an usefull (;o)) extra work, every two years!

I believe that this is the last of the tweak versions before next year when we get a full new version. I believe that AutoCad left the 2 yea cycle for a 3 year several versions ago.
If it is a truely new version then Roy will have a much more serious task. If its a tweak then it is unlikely that anything of significance has changed. I should have time by Monday to review the software & see if there are any red flags I can uncover.
Hopefully we can just load it and go with a few extra features; I'm not even sure what hose are yet, soon I'll let you know.

Thanks! Roy, are the changes, real improvements?

Haven't looked much yet.

This one is a minor update and shouldn't require anything. Every three years is a new release for AutoDesk-- so R19 occurs in 2013.

I'm very sceptical about these every-year AutoCAD updates, but now it looks really good. I just lounched AC2012 for the first time today and I can see that splines can be JOINED together and with plines, EXTENDED and FILLETED at last! I hope I'll find much more improvements later.
It seems nXt works fine. dwg format is still '2010'.

I'm testing MEP 2012. nXt loads OK and dialogue work. When I tried to Render my screen or Render from Walkabout, fatal error occurs.

Thanks-- I assume you had everything working in a previous version?

Yes. In MEP 2011, it works fine. A simple Building with doors and windows. Pump and some piping. I just downloaded the latest build. Not sure if that will help... Thanks Roy.

Let me know. Are you using clipping planes?

"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 :-("
