x15 grass...

need gratis rendering of your scene in a different software?

Try to reduce the ior to at least 1.25

Clearly a graphics cards issue.

same problem here with lights not on during daytime (x13)

any solution?

Lumion is foremost a real time machine but haven't introduced RT yet...this means Chief is the leader in RT-RT now?

Try TM2020, it's the cheapest out there at less than $300. The free version has the same function as the paid but only limited to 2k resolution.

Here's a sample:

I am having the same problem with walls in this entry ...I am modeling an existing plan for an interior designer.

The almost free Twinmotion will solve PBR woes.

I have created hundreds of renderings but one thing I always struggle with is the grass. Is there something within chief to make the grass more life-like? Or is there a recommended second hand rendering software to help assist in making the images of grass seem more real? Attached are a couple of photos that show what I am dealing with. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance. 

Try Twinmotion2020. It's Free for non-commercial use and pay ($189 in the Philippines, less than $300 in the US). It's user-friendly than Lumion.

Yes, post it

My suggestion is to try to master PBR...at least for interior renders.

No Photon Mapping.

Try to apply it to show GI on every corner.

The bed seems to float too.

So doing this will not take the light 6inches off the ceiling surface?

No, only the source.

chief RT engine is no longer base on POVray...Chief's own RT is called Phoebe..

 Also not shown in this picture is when I place recessed can lights on a sloped ceiling. In standard view, light glows just like on flat ceiling... Hit ray trace and it looks as if it's casting a shadow and is not flush with the surface. Guess what? it s is flush and shadow casting is OFF.  Would love for someone to tell me "just do this every time and you will never have this problem again". Is anyone able to tell me this?

 

Try to offset light source from base to 6"

Not with Chief at the moment....

Hi Renerabbitt,

 

Thank you for he insight! I did more research after reading your post and it seems like Rendering is a whole different step/process. You are right that the amount of hours and number of people that work on it can vary greatly which can vary the rendering quality. I saw some people who model in Sketchup then render in Vray and then edit in Photoshop/Premiere so it was quite a process. I guess we have to question "how much effort is necessary to get results that will get the job done without wasting time/money?".  

 

Also, now that we are discussing this: what is the best process to go from CA to Rendering in Vray/Lumion/Thea for images and videos?

 

You mentioned CA doesn't do UV mapping very well. How do you work around this? I also saw many people saying CA has some limitations vs Revit/Sketchup give you freedom to design anything (of course this freedom comes at a cost of tediousness/cost of software). What other limitations have you noticed in CA and how do you work around them?

 

Thank you!

Try the free Twinmotion 2020, the "almost" realtime renderer or master Chief's PBR (interior rendering)

Yes, post a picture or the plan

It's not that such a small angle creates the problem, its that the problem only comes into existence at a specific combination of angles and it only takes a single degree to put it over that threshold.  This is true of almost every software limitation.  There's a specific threshold.  As I mentioned earlier in the thread, this same problem occurs with reflections in PBR's too.  It can get really frustrating because you're essentially forced to position the camera where you don't actually want in in order to get acceptable shadows and reflections.  Its one of the big areas where I see Ray Traces remaining irrefutably superior.

Correct, and it's not the tilt.

I did not update yet,,,point to point works with horizontal and vertical only.

Graphics indeed
