"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 :-("

Render Speed / Times / Duration
Hello All,
We have just taken posession of a new server purely to use for rendering.
The specs are - 2x Quad core Xeon 5450, 36GB RAM, 1TB of 146GB RAID 5 10k RPM drive HHDs - Win 7 Pro 64bit no Antivirus or other software loaded except OS, CAD and nXt
We have just started a render at the 5,000,000,000 pixels and to be honest it doesn't appear to be any faster than when it was running on a 32bit WinXP, Core2 Quad 2.66Ghz, 4GB, 7200RMM HDD Machine.
Are there any tweaks or changes we can make to utilise more CPU / RAM in the new machine?
Thanks
Tony

Nope. You should see a nice improvement. Check the Pixels/Second statistic for your best comparison.

Thanks Roy,
We have seen no dramatic improvement in rendering speed however we are able to render several models in parallel so I guess you could say we can do more in the same time!!

What do you mean you are able to render several models in parallel?

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

"Thanks for your kind words.
Yes, all plants are generated with nxt plant-editor.
I have used leaves from Marc Chaumier's plant library.

"Very nice piece. Brilliant work.
Are all these plants nxt render plants ?
They look very good. Ground cover is so thoughtful."
"Thank you so much."
"Sorry, do not exactly how to do it right.
If i sent you one or sets, could you "compose" one material as an example?
Maybe this is interesting for others too.."
"Thanks Rich,
exacvtly what i found out.
Only did't know what to dfo with the AO map.."
