For example. I have a gravel walk illustrated in Archicad. The surface/ building material is Gravel in my model, when run through Cinerender, it illustrates as dirt.</P><P>Similar issue with siding. I have a dark grey vertical wood siding in the model, in Cinerender, it's light grey horizontal siding.</P><BR /><IMG src="http://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/54972iDE786AAABDA07A04/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="archicad image.png" title="archicad image.png" /><IMG src="http://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/54973iE5DF5B6753FB3EA8/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="cinerender image.png" title="cinerender image.png" /> Wed, 15 Jun 2022 12:36:52 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Cinerender-Surfaces-not-showing-correctly-At-ALL/m-p/341361#M51852 BethG 2022-06-15T12:36:52Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Cinerender-Surfaces-not-showing-correctly-At-ALL/m-p/341373#M51856 <P>The settings you see in the 3D window of Archicad are either Basic (was vectorial engine) or Hardware Acceleration (was OpenGL engine).</P> <P>These materials have simpler settings than the Cinerender engine.</P> <P>They can be the same or they can be completely different.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="BarryKelly_0-1655302276994.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/22554i6E96ACB835FC329D/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="BarryKelly_0-1655302276994.png" alt="BarryKelly_0-1655302276994.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Modifying Basic will modify Hardware Acceleration (and vice versa) but it will not modify Cinerender settings.</P> <P>Likewise modifying Cinerender will not modify the others.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>When you go to the Cinerender settings you have the choice of matching Basic from Cinerender or Cinerender from Basic.</P> <P>I recommend you match Basic from Cinerender, otherwise your advanced Cinerender surfaces will get only Basic settings.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Barry.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 15 Jun 2022 14:16:52 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Cinerender-Surfaces-not-showing-correctly-At-ALL/m-p/341373#M51856 Barry Kelly 2022-06-15T14:16:52Z
