Greetings Everybody,
Visualization and the visual language as a whole is a crucial phenomena when we communicate our ideas to the clients. Should that be vectorial, artistic, non-realistic, photo-realistic, 2D or 3D from classic quick shaded representations to high-end VR or XR, most of us would agree that the way we communicate our ideas is truly essential.
I would like to start a dedicated conversation and hear your feedback on this topic. Please let me know:

Please tell us that you updated the UI for BIMx with the last update so that mouse navigation controls can be inverted so that they are similar to FPS game controls!

It was in the version I was testing.
I am not 100% sure if that is the version just updated - I haven't looked at it yet.
So if it is not there, now it should be soon.

Hello,
What type of visualization do you do? (Quick Shaded, Rendering, Animations, Real-time visualization, ...)
Typically I use Twinmotion the Real-time rendering software. It's very fast and easy and we do this in house.
What is your current workflow for visualization? (In-house, Outsourced, Partially Outsourced, ...)
We never outsource.
What are the main challenges or obstacles in your current workflow?
When rendering, we come across issues of not having the correct materials, the renders are slightly cartoony, twinmotion lacks the ability to match camera properties in the software with an existing image, it is difficult to work on one file between two people, and there's no easy way match an angle in twinmotion with an existing image.
What third party solutions do you incorporate in your workflow if you do any?
We use photoshop to blend existing and new, but also sometimes to distort the render, or adjust color.
Thanks

I think the conclusion is pretty clear that we need visuals built into AC to avoid all the work arounds you can see in this thread.
Some will always want to create high end images. However many of us don’t have the time or money to do that and instead just use AC as an everyday tool that creates images to help explain our designs to clients who are not prepared to pay for high end images.
On most projects we just need to create a presentation that shows the drawings and images in a multi-page PDF that we can print or share as part of a video presentation.
AC has always been great at creating the drawings from the 3D model, but 3D images have for a long time been poor or slow.

Are big one for me tbat I would like to see others opions and experiences on is the creation of PDFs. At the moment the PDFs created come with huge amounts of information that considerably slows down PDFs. I wish there was a way to flatten images.You can see as the PDF is opened that there are many unnecessary layers being rendered, despite turning off layers in the PDF publisher settings.
