AccuRender nXt

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.

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?

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
