Rendering Materials

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:02:14 GMT

Hey All- I added new materials to my model, but when I go to lightworks render them, my materials don't show...? I've attached a few Screenshots. Maybe someone will see what I am doing wrong. (I am still figuring out rendering through ArchiCAD.

Thanks!

See if this helps:

You have the capability of having a surface display differently in each context... need to use the 'match' button (and optional fine tuning) for CineRender to show what you've set up for OpenGL.

will that work on ArchiCAD 17 too?

Not quite - Karl's link was for 18.
But similarly in 17 if you go to the surface settings dialogue and switch to the Lightworks materials you will see a button at the bottom to "Match Internal Engine".
So if you have set up your surface (material) in the Internal or OpenGL engines you can match the settings - and then further tweak them to get even better results if you know what you are doing (which I never could work out properly).

It's a good thing to add the AC version you use (and your OS) to your ArchicadTalk signature.
