White Surfaces in Bimx

Brett Brown

Hi all, Why am I getting all white surfaces in the 3D model coming out as light gray in the Hyper model? Both the 3D model and Hyper model use the internal /open GL engine so why are they not the same?

Earlier versions of Bimx use to open in the Hyper model, now it opens in the 3D model and you have to select the "browse hyper model" then "open 3D model" when I only have the one view. Is this the normal way now?

Any quick setting to stop all the weird shadows created at the intersection walls to ceilings and sometimes furniture sitting close to the walls?

Cheers

Not sure about the desktop application (haven't used it in forever), but on the mobile app you can switch the display settings to 'simple lighting' or some such (sorry the app is in Dutch) under shadow settings, which basically gets rid of any global illumination shadows and such darkening corners and affecting surface light. It also adds edge lines in black, making everything look more illustrative (if that is even a word, if not, I'm coining it!). Allthough you do end up wit some unwanted lines here and there.

Great news Brett, so that setting change did have the desired positive effect.
I will let the developer know.
