No render

[Jefferson JPD]

Hi, I'm new in the forum, and i'm trying to work with the autocad 2009+nxt. But since I downloaded, my pc don't rendering. I already waited 12 hours and the render don't "go". I already changed the configurations, and reinstall Cad and nxt. But, I don't have solutions yet. Can anybody help me please? Is configuration in the render or in the Autocad? The procedure of the instalation is only to install the nxt and appload in the cad?

 

God bless you!

 

Thanks

If you are using the latest build no need appload, just type, "nxt" in autocad prompt and hit entre. The interface should come up. How you gone that far?

Draw a box and a sphere and hit the render button, is it rendering?

[akinlolu olugboji]

Try this also. Where you get struck then members of the forum can chip in.

Here also is another source.

What have you done so far? Be as specific as possible:

For example, you might say:

1. I downloaded the "current" build -OR- I downloaded the "stable" build
2. I opened a model and typed "nXt"
3. I pressed the render button and nothing happened-- no rendering window appeared

When i press the button of render, a windowis showed, but after 12 hours, dont hae difference.But, Today I reinstall the windows, and all the programs (AutoCAD+nxt), and open the same project. When I pressed the render button, the render finaly started. I thinked the was a problem with the windows. But to end of the discussion: how to configurated in the quality of image and how many passes and faces have a good rendernzde image e how configurate it??

Thanks

Start with a simple model-- don't be too ambitious. There are four Presets on the Lighting Tab. Pick the one that best fits the way you want to light your model. Don't change anything else. There is a lot of information on this site. Ask specific questions and provide pictures to clarify what you mean.

the problem is: after a time, the image don't continues the rendering. For example: this image, after 2 hours and 15 minutes and 2000 passes the image continued this form. Don't finalizing the form that I want.My cmputer has:

-ProcessorINtel Dual Core
-3Gb of RAM (DDR2)
-Board GeFORCE PCI EXPRESS of 1GB RAM

The image is probably fully converged. What aspects of it would you like to improve?

[Jefferson JPD]

Any materials(as can you look, any materials don't rendered and the render of the plant (tree).
I saw in other discutions that only 100 passes of the render the image was "completed" after the render. But the mine, after 100 passes was this form. Because I think that can be the configuration of render.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

More passes will not make materials show up. Materials show up immediately, or not at all. Shadows, glossy reflections, etc.. will continue to refine. There is no "completed" in nXt-- renderings continue processing indefinitely. 100 passes to completion is an approximate guideline only. It is probably a good guideline for your rendering.

Your ar3/4 materials and textures are probably not on nXt's search path-- that is why they're not showing up. Use the Options form to properly set the search path to your ar4 data.
