Manual fo nXtRender
Greetings,
Is there a manual for nXtRender? I am looking for something that explains all the aspects of nXtRender and the Material Editor. I purchased the ebook version Rendering with AutoCAD using nXtRender and also viewed all the videos (same on both webpage and in ebook). Neither of these sources covered the various features of nXtRender in detail.
For example, I am trying to understand the Preview Scale in the Material Editor. It is simply a number. Is this inches, feet, meter, etc? AR4 had useful scales to preview the material. Then there is the scale of the texture map itself. I assume that a value of 1 shows the map without any magnification. Does a value of two double the size of the texture map? Of course I could do trial and error to figure this out, but it used to be alot more clear in AR4.
Thanks,
Jeff

All of these are in drawing units-- typically inches in the US and millimeters in Europe, etc.-- but it does depend on the settings for your drawing. Unlike previous versions, nXt uses AutoCAD insertion units. Type _DDUNITS at the command line and make sure these are set correctly. No manual, some help here.

Thanks for suggesting this manual. I had already purchased it as an ebook and found that it to be a good 'introduction' sort of book. I was looking for much more depth and detail which was not provided.

"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 :-("
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

"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.."
