Hey, question.

Trying to do a Parallel Projection Rendering... and it's automatically kicking me off to a perspective rendering. is there a way to keep my parallel projected camera?

Re: Raylectron "Model View" at startup

Hey, as promised an updated render. The owners loved it. I tried to put some copper below the dormer window and it didn't come out so well. Is there a place where i can look up some general settings for different materials? I made some bad choices for copper so we opted to leave it white. 01.jpg 02....

Re: Raylectron "Model View" at startup

That's an impressive bit of work there... I'll have to do some more homework before attempting something like that.

I'll have to read about environmental maps. I'll check out the stickies. I haven't read any of them yet :oops:

I'm looking forward to playing with this alot more even though we don't anticipate using the rendering package on a daily basis. @Mike -> Thanks. Unfortunately i can not take credit for the design ;) That would be the Arch...

Re: Raylectron "Model View" at startup

Hm. ok. Do you have a place i can read about "Normal Maps" versus the "diffuse map" I'm really new at rendering. Done sketchup for a while, but never did renderings... I'm not sure what these maps are for and how to even load it (it looks like when i check the normal map box, i d...

Re: Raylectron "Model View" at startup

Thank you again. I went ahead and flipped the faces. I'm not entirely sure what that really means though, would you mind explaining that? I normally try to keep all the faces facing the same way (white out blue in) but the windows were from Pella, and they we're a huge mess. For some reason i don't ...

Re: Raylectron "Model View" at startup

I've downloaded it, and will give it a try momentarily.

We also really liked the blue pool tile you used around the pool, and the material you used inside the pool.

What were those textures?

Thanks again!

Re: Raylectron "Model View" at startup

Hey that looks really sharp! We love the pool textures you've used and the color of the concrete cap on the stone wall. if possible would you mind sharing those with me? Thanks for all your help. We placed an order for the software about 10 minutes ago. We're very satisfied with the product and the ...

Re: Raylectron "Model View" at startup

I need to look into Tone Mapping.

What is "Br" "Ca" and "La"

You've been most helpful. Thanks!

I checked the faces, they were all oriented correctly with the texture on both sides.
Attached is the sketchup model, and ROF file (with textures).

Re: Raylectron "Model View" at startup

Hey there. Thanks for the input. I have tried both methods of rendering. I like the harder shadows in the radiocity setting than what i get with the path tracer setting. But they are far too dark for me. I need to figure out how to lighten them up. I ran a new render with path using both sun and sky...

Re: Raylectron "Model View" at startup

So far we like it alot... and it has a great price tag. Question: Can you adjust the size of the render? Currently it says 80x430 (GL) im sure i can up it. Not sure if that is a trial thing (with the watermarks) or if it's hiding somewhere and I'm missing it. Also, i'm not sure how long to let it ru...

Re: Raylectron "Model View" at startup

Yes the new version fixed it!
