Experimenting with Archicad and Art*lantis R

[Anonymous]

i am a novice at rendering. If there are any artlantis users out there reading this, Please tell me how I'm I suppose to get a clean render in that program. Is it possible for me to save my textures of my walls etc so in artlantis i can jus play with there rendering parameters. I am having a pain bringing in my model in artlantis r.

I am posting a pic of my very very very first model done in archicad and was recently rendered in artlantis r (which i had no clue on wat to do to get a good rendering).

Well modeled for your first attempt. I suggest purchasing Dwight's book on rendering in Lightworks. Although written for LW, many of the principles for general lighting, thinking like a photographer and presentation still apply. Finally and as far as I know, textures and materials are easily modified in Art-R, but are initially based on settings within AC9.

kjverine,

The Artlantis R forums (from Abvent, the manufacturer) are where you should ask about things beyond exporting from ArchiCAD.

All of your ArchiCAD textures should export fine to "R", provided you have installed the latest version of the "9 to R" export add-on from the Artlantis web site. (The Artlantis-out that ships with ArchiCAD 9 and earlier is for Artlantis 4.x, not "R".)
