  1. Just an FYI, a few of us like to import Huawei devices. The p40 pro has a TOF sensor as well...in case that helps your development
  2. TM has its own water cube that works well for pools. TM also has its own waterfall effect, add some eye candy, add some fog-See below For thea, I would model the waterfall structure and place rocks at the landing area and use the sketchup plugin clothworks with pins at the top and drape a surface over the entire model. Basically a cloth simulation . With the right settings, the cloth will bounc and drape as needed to look realistic in thea. More labor intensive for sure. 2021-04-19 13-12-58.mp4
  3. I have the Surface Book 3 Business class and it is/was a dream for as-builts. I just switched to the iphone 8 pro max with Lidar and had success with the first scan. I brought an apprentice to do the scan and while he was at it I went around and jotted down some control measurements in my phone. Took the two of us a 1/2 hour to do a 2000 sq ft 2-story home. I spent as much time in the office as I would've in the field with the surface book, but the convenience of being in the office is worth the investment for me.
  4. Still a ridiculous requirement to me. My own home has only 2-3 hours of direct sun each day until summer. Old growth 100 yr pines keep me shaded.
  5. Hey JC, Twinmotion does just fine for most interior shots. It won't compare to Thea, but certainly has its place in my toolbag for budget renders. I use it specifically for video walkthroughs. Here is a quick interior render from TM: Keep in mind this shot could be worked a lot more, but this kitchen was made to look good in video only. You can add higher resolution textures, add shadow decals, work the glass more, add more detailed reflection maps. etc. Thea has a bunch of pro tools for getting the best out of a shot. One of my favorites being the ability to round the edge of any geometry. Nearly nothing in a kitchen shot has razor sharp edges. You're right about part 6, I missed that. Parts 1-7 were done over a year ago in a single week during my first and last venture into trying adderall , I've had trouble picking them back up as they take a good 6-7 hours of solid focus to prep and produce. I've got part 10 in the works right now. Here is the Final shot from that series:
  6. My man, can we get the bump channel back in the tile builder?....very very valuable for use as a texture source to create a pattern file and then reload the texture source for say a marble tile.
  7. POST 36 A set of tools to make a bath surround with an operable sliding door. Click the links in the video description to download the tools, Enjoy! CLICK ME TO GO BACK TO THE INDEX!!!
  8. Do you have images or PDFs in the layout? Can you do a dropbox share link so we can see?
  9. Brilliant, this post just reminded me of like 5 of my favorite @dshall vids.
  10. I wrote a very beginner level set of area macros that are now broken. The macro is supposed to list area from the owner polyline. Instead, it updates the 4 other macros of the same type with the area of the most recently opened polyline. Confused as to why this is happening since my understanding is that the value would be taken from the owner polyline only. Here is one of the macros: $plot_E_Cov = area "#{$plot_E_Cov.round(0)}"
  11. I must've missed this with the release of X-12 but what a great shortcut. Name your Saved Plan View with "-%box_scale%" at the end of the name and the layout file will translate the macro to the box scale. EDIT: only works when checking Specify Label. Then the automatic label carries through
  12. Adjust the offset in the edit symbol dbx. Pace at the front of a cabinet, then multiple copy at your desired interval. Looks good in PBR: RABS Stackable LED.calibz
  13. Share it on dropbox drive or onedrive. renerabbitt@gmail.com
  14. I would be using a different software for what I provide to you..Raytrace is a fickle ex-wife
  15. You've got a TON of transparent surfaces and very few light sources..a scene like this just takes a while. I think I gave you my email in past...send me your file and I can run this for you on my main machine if you can wait a day or two
  16. I think I've changed a few things about this method, namely using a ceiling instead of a molding for the pool water. then the crown molding(the coping) is just offset. Molding profiles should look correct in your room dbx, not sure I understand the molding question. Im not sure I follow the voids predicament without a video but you could certainly make those steps with your solid tools. Hope that helps
  17. Created a method for this that is slightly convulated but overall very accurate.
  18. Sorry for the delay, been inundated. I've been waiting to make a video about advanced materials coupled with simple models. Want to test X-13 before I get into it. Their is some huge hidden potential in the AO maps that I don't see anyone taking advantage of. Chief doesn't treat AO the same as most rendering engines, which can be used to created some much needed depth and cut through the overlighting inherent in chiefs engine. Also getting into some good maps can really change the look of chief, just keeping in mind those high reso textures add up fast. Stay tuned!
  19. Double knuckle articulating arms are outdated. Would love to see a single piston single knuckle arm with an integrated led to be ultra sleek. Seeing as this is the tech age, I would incorporate standard mountable hardware for attaching such things as a standard microphone for dual purpose use. Also would be nice to quickly shift locations of such a lamp nby creating a mounting system that is easy to detach and mount to say a mic stand or wall mount bracket.
  20. Something is getting lost in translation. To do as previously mentioned using what Rob and Eric advised, you would need to set your General Wall Defaults to Resize About Main Layer Inside and then you would need to select your foundation walls and open them up. In the wall dbx Wall Types\ replace the foundation wall with the wall type from your library. This will replace your wall with the proposed wall and aligh at the inside main layer
  21. Look at the arrows, he is illustrating the various resize about settings. If you were to select Main Layer Inside and then select your two walls and change to your proposed wall it would do what you want it to.
  22. This won't help with continuous draw^ @solver and @stevenyhof Continuous draw pivots on the center of the main wall layer. @robdyck^ This would only work with @solver method Bigger question for me is why are you drawing over foundation walls? If you are drawing a wall that will be aligned with a wall above, why not copy the wall above and paste-hold-position below? Or simple use the Align With Above Tool. If you use both solver and robs suggestion together it will work as you intend it to, but not with continuous draw mode.
