Damn Mark, is there anything you can't make from a cabinet?

You can use the "Add Lights" tool to add additional

light sources to your image. Once you have added

an additional source you can control it's properties

in the "Light Specification" DBX.

Hey Chief,  please change the super bowl numbers....

LOL! Shouldn't this be in the Suggestions section.

I'm thinking it would be appropriate to update the

numbering system to binary. That would mean that

we are coming up to SUPER BOWL 110101.

Thanks Dermot. This should be an "official" enough answer for the Chopster.

I couldn't find the original thread, but I wanted to

thank Michael for the time and effort he put into

the presentation. Lots of nice nuggets (as DScott

would say) to process but for me one of the best

was learning what effect the "Smoothing Angle"

has on the Delete Surface tool. As someone who

does a fair amount of new Symbol creation, not

having to try to individually delete dozens of symbol

fragments has already saved me a bunch of time.

Unfortunately my cheapo headset decided that it

would no longer be recognized by my computer so

I was left without a microphone, but if I had one the

question that kept occurring to me was: "How in the

heck did you figure all this $hit out?"   Thanks! 

I'm sure I wasn't the first, but I have been lobbying for this for years.

Man, that's some amazing stuff there Michael.

I'm trying to get my head around those chains

and how they would be modeled. Every link

appears to be in a different orientation or

degree of rotation from the adjacent links.

No signs of repetition. Very nicely done.

...The really big difference is that the PBR took 4 seconds to render while the Ray Trace took 41 minutes.

 

PBR

 

Ray Trace

That being said I think the Ray Trace is far superior.

For some reason your explanation made me think

of Woody's Chalkboard comment today. 

Wow! Very impressive.

Let me give this a try. What I need is a recreation

of the crown molding in the Hall of Mirrors at the

Palace of Versailles. Any help would be appreciated.

Interesting case of life imitating art.

Was there a roof on the house where the actual 

photograph was taken?   It looks like we have 

light bleeding between the cabinet crown moldings

and the ceiling. Maybe Chief is on to something?

FYI, I found the captions and links on your Portfolio

page to be messed up. For example clicking on the

"HGTV Container Home" image takes you to the

"Hillside English Cottage" instead. The only one that

seemed to be correct was the first image of the

"Contemporary River View". Just sayin'.

Muy bien, Roberto.

Or you could eliminate the closets altogether

and use a couple of nice armoires instead. It

will make the rooms look larger too.

Is there a bed in the scene?  

I just want to know who that is in the beanbag chair.

I’ve been goofing around creating a coat of arms for my

nephew to be, Jayden (expected at the end of the month).

It turned out pretty cool so I thought I would share it. A pair of

combative corvids seemed appropriate for a kid named Jay.

But Rich, you say, how is this Chief related?

Easy, Jay is a charter member of the Chief F.U.G. (Future User’s Group).

Is that a retractable drink holder belt buckle you're

wearing... or are you just happy to see me? 

I'm not sure if this is the effect you are trying

to achieve, but many moons ago I made this

simple walkthrough path to demonstrate one

method to get a 360° exterior view.

Very illuminating video Dave.

Please do not reveal the ending lol 

That's the beauty of Code Books. They are never ending.

Yeah, I think a giant red rooster would do the trick.

But seriously, when I try to open Alan's link I get a

message saying that Chief Architect 3D Viewer is

not supported by this browser. Really? I'm using

Internet Explorer 11 and Chief doesn't support it? 

Come on Michael. How do I know whether or

not I want it if I don't download it to see? 

I have encountered the same problem. It also

would happen in a walkthrough recording. I've

never been able to determine why it happened,

but as I recall, the Camera view would Ray

Trace properly. 

You are using the wrong Camera. The Training Video

is using the Perspective Floor Overview Camera. You

are using the Perspective Full Overview Camera.

For your last issue it sounds like you are using the

Mouse-Pan Camera. Try using the Mouse-Orbit Camera.

From a quick look I'd say it could be Chief.

But I'd bet dollars to donuts that it wasn't

done with X10. Chief has made any Ray

Trace results you may have achieved in

previous versions useless in X10.
