And don’t forget to turn up your mouse speed so you can cover more screen...

Did you label that room “garage” before creating foundation?

I took a quick look at your project and put this quick video together of the outside...

A few observations:

Stairs need fixing

I would relocate fireplace to back wall

Relocate lower level bedrooms for egress.

Foundation needs fixed

Roof framing 

Back Deck similar to front porch???

I'm glad I read this topic... I thought I was going senile when I saw room dividers change to invisible interior walls, when I thought I had used the room divider.  LOL

Did you put a blank box on your "0" page?

I've posted rooms with a bunch of lights on and one kitchen with only the pendant light over the island and sun light... either way, no delay in render speed.

Yeah, looking at your hardware, the video card stood out to me as maybe being the weak link.

I'm doing the 100 lights routine, if that helps you at all.

Just save the extra floor joist to replace the floor joist the plumber will chainsaw out of his way for the toilet drain.

My PBR's appear instantaneously.  Not sure what the time delay is being caused by on your system.  Is it the video card???

The PBR's in post #99 were done with lots of interior lights.

Here is one with only the pendant lights and exterior lighting...

At first I could only get interiors to work if I turned off the sun.

Now, thru my secret hit and miss strategy, I am able to get decent interiors with sun on or off.

Wasn’t that feature mentioned in the what’s new in X10 video preview?

In the last few years I have the space mouse stop working only a couple times.  I just reboot the computer and all is well.

I did the first PBR from a plan I am currently working on...

The second PBR is from an old plan from X8 to see if it worked...

I guess I need to find those 4 places and start changing some things ...

 

 

Adjust your sun settings.  

I have had to use everything from toggle sun off to 20,000.

and adjust your lights to 100

I think She mentions going to 4 different places in the new PBR Video   pretty much SOP at CA...... a gazillion DBX's to go through ( and remember ) as usual....

Yeah, I was counting off the top of my head while taking a break and thought there might be 4... but then thought that had to be too many. 

Show the owner option 1 and show him option 2... now that we can do this with CA.

Now that we have a base from which to work from, I am having fun using the PBR.  With a little trial and error I can get decent renders.  Funny how we have to open 3 different dbx’s to get what we need.

If anyone has a problem with something not showing in 3d ,then just delete that pesky zero layer and it will show again. Had that problem many times.

What would happen if you used .003 for the paint layer?

I took a quick look and the wall fill was there without doing anything.

A quick suggestion, If I may...

In your kitchen layout, turn your islands into peninsulas attached where frig are located after moving frigs to current sink locations.  Then place your sink and dishwasher into the peninsula cabinets.

No one wants to look into a wall or wall cabinet while standing at the sink... imho.

Have you all experienced that if a scene looks good in PBR it doesn't necessarily mean it will look good in RT? Actually most of the times its not even close?

 

I am having to duplicate my plan, one specifically for PBR the other for RT, if I want to RT off course. 

If you have PBR working good, why would you want to do a ray trace?

After watching that video I am going to try PBR once again... this time with the backdrop turned off.

wish me good luck

did you try the "fix" in post no# 43 and #46? works in the Beta....not sure about Full Release.

 

edit *** Have you changed the Default exposure or Brightness for PBR ? I am finding .25 EXP and 20 Brightness is nice for Interiors tonight.

 

 

M.

Yes, I saw that earlier today and changed to 100 lights and the sun to 500 this morning.

I just used your settings with a new camera view and got good results after I turned the sun off.  I am going with your settings.  Thank you!

With the sun on everything had a green tint to it.

I experienced this with my siding materials this morning when I uploaded X10.

Here is the standard view... if this helps...
