Rendering just a corner + Rendering color mask

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I've worked for a long time with 3DSMax when doing my renders, but now at the office we are starting to use archicad and I found that the renderings from maxon are good enough for our intern meetings (and its quite practical to render direct from what I am modelling and not having to export/import in an other prgram).

There are a couple things I miss from 3dsmax though, and I wonder if they also exist with Archicad:

1- Is it possible to render just a corner/small part of a picture so I don't have to re-render an entire picture if I just change a small detail?

2- Is it possible to render a complementary picture with the same resolution with a solid color pro material? (Like the vray render elements > material id).

That would be really useful.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi , it is possible to render out a color mask.

So to ease your pain, I decided to show you how it's done in ARCHICAD ! Yes you can and it is VERY easy, after you watched this quick coffee tip, you will pull your hair out and say to yourself, why did I not think of this

This option has been there ever since Graphisoft introduced CineRender. Ok it's not really an option, it's a solution but see for yourself.

Hey! Thank you very much for your answer! Top!

I've tried it though, and I can't get the proper result at a 100%.



As you can see on the picture, there is still a light color difference (shadowing) once the same element changes direction. I double checked your settings and as far as I could see they are the same :S What can I be doing wrong? (Sorry that it's in German).

Thanks a lot for your help 😉

In '3D Styles' try turning off the option for "Shade surfaces using sun".

Many thanks glad I could help.

Yes Barry is right you have to make sure there is no shadow casting ( kein Schattenwurf , ich spreche deutsch ) + your antialiasing setting has to be on beste qualitaet , this will get rid of the "ziggzagg" lines. If you still have some "ziggzagg" lines then increase your resolution to like 4 to 5000 pixel wide.
Because it is just a simple render, it still will not take very long to render out. Then in Photoshop if needed you just resize the color mask.

Thanks for your reply Barry. I did turn the sun thing of, and in the 3d window preview it looks all with the same color (no more shadows=regular 1 color surfaces), but when rendering still looks the same as before :S

Not really sure what I'm doing worng to be honest. Still, with a biger magic wand tolerance in photoshop I think it's going to work fine.

Thanks!

Just a hunch, but try putting the sun altitude on 90° in perspective settings.
