Cinerender - polycarbonate render

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 09:39:21 GMT

I am really struggling to create a good quality render using Cinerender. I am trying to render my design which is made up of polycarbonate panels. Could anybody please help me with what would be a good setting to use to create this polycaronate effect?

Thanks,
Holly

Have you had any luck? I have the same problem right now and I wonder how to get polycarbonate in Cinerender.

Too broad of a category. Can you show an example of the texture and color in the polycarbonate you need?

I need to achieve exactly the same effect and colour of the picture you have posted.

Thanks!

not at computer now to post zip file with material. Corrugated profile is easy to get using roof acesssry tool. Convert to morph and rotate to virtical. Apply the material.

Thanks for the tip. In the meantime we have decided to use a flat polycarbonate surface. Any idea on how to render the material? I don't seem t be able to find any on the net. I am trying with an opaque glass material but not quite what I am looking for.

I've just made a simple research on google and found this
https://www.polantis.com/it/everlite/danpalon%C2%AE-opal
On the left you find the textures for each channel ...

Shouldn't be too difficult to get the desired effect

Did you try the ArchiCAD Frosted Glass material ?

Kate,

You may have to get very specific about which product and color your after if you want some help with this.

To be more specific it is the: Facade Danpal® Double 16, 1,040 mm wide panels with softlite finish. It plays on transparency and that is what I am really struggling with... the ice color Danpal® double skin system transmits light to create a luminous atmosphere - it appears like a kind of milky lightbox when lit from within at night..... and gives a hint of the steel struture behind it but in a very blurred/ghostly type way...
Like the attached images but in a white/ice colour (not tinted)

The key is to use a texture which looks like polycarbonate and put it into the transparent channel.

I did a quick setting using a normal roof corrugated iron sheet to show you the effect. So needs more work but I think you can see where I am going.

hope this helps

Cheers Carsten

Thank you so much Cartsen - that does help me a lot. Do you know how I could increase the opacity on it so it is not quite so see-through?

Thanks again,
Kate

Brighten the image used in your transparency channel. Or you could layer it with a light coloured channel.

Thanks Ling, I will try this!

Re: Cinerender - polycarbonate render

Carstenem — Fri, 23 Aug 2019 10:14:23 GMT

Ling is correct and if the brightness is at 100% you have to lower the mix strength in the transparency channel. If mix strength is on zero you won't see any glass at all
