Rendered Trees & Shrubs

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:02:28 GMT

when placing the Tree 18 and Shrub 18 objects in the model the are "flat" 2D images, It seems that they are placed so that the image is oriented perpendicular to the current camera perspective settings. If you are rendering the model from different angles this will display the image as a "flat" tree or shrub.
In the attached image I the tree object is a 2 sided object (PictBox_Pine_GWL), that works fine at different render angles, but it does lack shadow casting.

What are others doing?

CineRender of Shrubs and Trees

Try a "Rebuild & Regenerate" refresh after changing the camera angle. The tree bitmaps *should* automatically rotate so they are once again perpendicular to the new camera.

If that doesn't work (I've noticed this before), select the Object tool, hit select all, go in to settings dialog and press ok. This should force a rebuild on all objects.

Thank you fro the replies.
In the Contextual (Right mouse click) menu I could only see the "Rebuild" command. This did not reset the objects.
I did see the "Rebuild & Regenerate" commands listed in the Work Environment, but could not see how to find these command within my current Schemes.

Erwin - this did work.

Regenerate Command in work environment.

when using these "2D" objects and creating a fly-through from placed Cameras one needs to check the "Rebuild Model for Each Frame".

You should be able to find it under "Refresh" at the bottom of the main View menu.

David - It maybe only in the International release. Even using the "Standard Profile 18" Work Environment, this option is not present.

hi!

I also had the same issue as you, and I also couldn't find the rebuild&regenerate in the view -> refresh menu.

it is an easy fix though, you could attach a keyboard shortcut to it (ctrl+alt+shift+R as default), or add the button to the menu.

the attached image shows you both methods (i personally prefer using shortcuts).

Nice tips, i'd like to ask a closely related problem though..

I saved the 3D cameras as views in project view map, and set the views to be generated in photorendering window so that when i publish those views as images, the output should be a photorealistic rendering images.

But unlike creating a flythrough, publishing rendered images doesn't has the "rebuild model for each view" option.

So only one image had the correct 2D trees direction setting, while the others didn't, has anybody else been tinkering with that?

Am having a similar issue as John

Range of cameras created as view set and published as TIFF. Each one has a slight change of angle on the shrubs.

any one found a work around as I have 6 images that need to be done and will knock my pc out for a full day if I can't publish over night.

I just had this problem recently with a series of perspectives that I was rendering via the publisher. I was able to overcome the problem by adding a simple Axo view in between each perspective. While publishing, the switch from Perspective to Axo and back seemed to have ArchiCAD rebuild the view and reorient the trees between publishing each image.
