Hi I have a problem that GI creates spots of light in my renderings. When I turn GI off, I don't think the rendering looks as good. Is there any setting to minimize the spots, without turning off GI?
Tricky setting I came across recently. If you change the sun position for a camera view in the view settings, it looks fine in the saved view. But when you place that saved view onto a layout, the sun setting defaults to the camera sun setting.

Hi, I'm trying to push CineRender a bit to see what we can get as a more flat, graphic look. I feel I'm halfway there, but could really do with a deeper understanding of some of the more advanced shaders. Does anyone know of any good references / tut...
Query 1: I am trying to cast an axonometric shadow of existing elements and new elements. The new elements will only cast a shadow in grey if the element it is casting onto is existing. I have set a colour shadow under 3D document settings to the des...
Hello everybody! I have now created a number of CineRender surfaces by using only different shaders and layers. I am starting to find it inspiring and fun in many ways. The benefit of not using images is, beside much less heavy files and faster rende...

Hi, I'm just starting to explore AC21 for the first time, having been working in AC19 for a few years. I can't seem to find the 3D Window Settings dialogue to fix the dimensions of my 3D window anywhere. It seems to have been replaced by the 3D Style...

Hi, does anyone have a source for a good mineral wool texture to use as a surface? Thanks!
Why is it that in the CineRender and Basic Renderer you can see an accurate preview of the render, but when you use the sketch rendering option, the preview is generic? It's been like this for quite a few years.
Is there any way I could fix the proportion of the render view? Quite often I am doing some renders with the same camera to exchange the render on photoshop. But whenever I switch between the monitors or adjust the toolbar placement it adjusts the re...

*** This is a bit of an emergency as I have a school presentation tomorrow and I am unable to export my images correctly at the moment. *** How do I create a 3D view that isn't terribly low resolution? I keep running into this (I'm using AC21 but it ...
until version 19 of archicad when you exported to SU, the model came out with its textures and separated by faces, now, since version 20, the model does not come out with its correct textures and is grouped by groups of objects, which makes it very d...
I am new to ArchiCAD and the rendering options. I came from using AutoCAD for drafting and SketchUp as my model builder/rendering tool. So far I love ArchiCAD but I am having a really tough time figuring out how to get just basic sketches from the mo...
Does anyone know how to do this with Coral PaintShop ? Is there a name for this kind of image that fades from sketch on one side to render on the other ? I assume you there is some kind of tool you can use to fade one image into another. What is that...
I am impressed with where technology is taking us, and I am ready to go there. However, I can't help but compare this to watching a movie vs reading the book. It's a different experience, but I am not ready to say that it's a better experience. What ...

Is there a way to exclude elements from rendering? In my case I have a wall which I do not want to appear in the visualization. I know it it possible in 3D Max. Is there a way around this using Cinerender in Arch 18? I haven't been able to figure it ...
I would like to reproduce the effect of showing the glass with its settings in a White Model render but I don't know how I did it. The glass in the car windows it not the same as the glass in the windows - but they have been assigned the same materia...
Working in AC21 and when I merge in a model I created in C4D, no matter if I have polygon selections, or set C4D materials, AC creates the GDL object with those material settings hard coded and I have no option to select surfaces in AC. I can use C4D...
... whether or not to save each rendered image when I close a tab? I do a lot of quick partial renders to check stuff in 3D, and don't want to save them. It is aggravating and disruptive to have to tell it to not save every single one of them. I'm un...
I have seen some other references to issues with plant materials being solved using Physical Render as opposed to Cinerender. I have not yet tried that but my problems seem to be that the "bounding box" if the plant material seems to change the trans...
I used a combination of GWL trees and AC21 trees in my model. The enclosed screenshot illustrates a bug(?) if CineRender is used in creating a fly-through. The left side of the enclosed screen shot is a CineRender image of the model, based on one of ...

I'm pretty happy with my AC renderings at the moment and don't feel the need to export the model into another engine. Am I correct in saying there is no way to publish an image sequence from the publishing set and the only way to achieve this is via ...
