Just about a year now, no previous CAD experience though and not had time to go on the articad training either.

Most of my designs turn out okay, it’s just non gloss ones that never come out as good! Interested to see how you’ve done the window as it appears you’ve spanned the same image across the 2 windows, which makes sense in the real world!

Thanks

Views for outside view are best set to World Mapping and use a seamless image like I have used which I just mirrored the same photo.

Finally cleared out my pre defined list for frontals to just 8, all i need is the colour picker for the paint colour R,G,B or wood texture and i'm good to go! Daz material settings are the way to go! Very Happy

Same for walls, ceilings, floors and metals!

Yeah....way to go...

Hi Daz,

Just having a look at this now, it won't let me open the file you created due to an error with the properties, so I can't see the settings you've used Sad

With the view out the window, do you set the material mapping size to that of the image itself?

Thanks
Matt

I've just started doing this with mine, where did you get the settings from I've looked for the sheen calculator that Daz used in my render, but can't find it.

Cheers

Ahh, thanks. I saw those in there but didn't realise you'd used those for "carcass". Where would you enter the "Reflection RGB" as I don't seem to have that option?

You will have to use the specular value instead of the rgb

Ok, cheers. So, have I got this right in where these things go...

Matt you are not putting the Glossiness factor in the right place.... ignore the Transparency one...
Watch this video of me explaining where the values go:

Ah ok thanks Daz, I don't seem to have that section in mine, I think I need to update it maybe?

You really need to enable the Advanced Reflection Settings but this is where you put the values with the default setup:

Daz, honestly, you NEED to go freelance with this, one 2 one training, online, over the phone and in person. You would make such good money, build up amazing contacts and the demand would be incredible! I would sign up for training with you immediately as I know many others would.

Thanks Jayne and everyone for your encouragements, I really appreciate all your comments and are using the settings and information to improve all your designing and rendering results.
I will and have been giving it some serious thought....

Hi Daz, okay thank you for that. With the window image set to world, is there a way to move the image within the window? I’m currently getting the middle of the mirrored bit showing right in the centre of the window! Cheers

You could select your first wall element and use the "Space" tool using either plus or minus values to move the plan as World mapping starts at the default wall starting point. Select all your graphics and move them after
I turned your plan using the same method to landscape. Select the first wall and use the Turn tool...

See this video:

Sorry for late reply Daz, just come back to this design now. Will give that a go, cheers. Do you happen to have a decent navy/blue metro tile image? I'm currently using the attached but its white and I'm struggling to find a seamless one online.

Cheers for all your help!

Sun Mar 11, 2018 11:25 am

Hi again Daz,

With the window view you used, what did you set the width/height to? I have rotated the plan and tried to use the space tool, I assume this is in tools > wall helper? I am not sure how to get this working, as it just seems to eat into the wall section, rather than move it to the right/left.

See the attached image of what I'm getting on the render with the window views.

Cheers
Matt

I sized it to 4795 wide x 2100 high

Sun Mar 11, 2018 7:35 pm

Awesome thanks Daz. Still a bit confused by the "world" setting. it looks okay on the door and the first window, but then the image on the 2nd window is much larger, even though all the dimensions are set the same.

I'm doing some renders now anyway and trying to miss the 2nd window out as I've got to present this one tomorrow!

Will post the final result, thanks for all the help!

Sun Mar 11, 2018 10:48 pm

Ah, I can't actually post them as it says I am out of space!

Sun Mar 11, 2018 10:54 pm

Matt
Maybe the images are to large as the storage for the forum is not full yet...

Use "Host an Image" instead:
