I can't see created surface on CineRender, Archicad 18.

[Anonymous]

Hey guys.

I'm working on a project on Archicad 18 and i needed to create new surfaces with new textures on the surface setting window. When i navigate on the 3d view, these surfaces that i created are visible, but when i render the scene on CineRender (or cinema 4d) they seem to be replaces with Archicad stock textures.

I really don't know what to do, help is much appreciated. Thank you.

In your surface settings dialogue you have options to set up Internal/OpenGL surfaces or Cinerender surfaces.
Sounds like you are just setting up the internal/OpenGL surfaces.

Do that and then open the Cinerender version of that material.
You should see a button that gives you the option to 'match the surface from Internal'.
This will match all the basic settings but there are many more in Cinerender that will give you a much better surface material.

There is also an option to match the Internal surface from the Cinerender one so you can set up a very nice Cinerender surface and then match all the basic settings to your Internal/OpenGL surface.

Barry.
