    Floor area macro without needing a polyline

    in Tips & Techniques

    Posted

    Just taking a quick look at this, I'd consider accumulating values in an array making the macro self adjusting for number of floors.

     

    $sf[owner.floor_number.to_i]=owner.standard_area.to_s

     

     

    Then (and I know puts won't work in Chief) to print the array starting with index of 1 (floor 1) to the end of the array.

     

    $sf[1..-1].each { |s| puts s }

    Real Time Ray Tracing in X13

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    And here is a Ray Trace from a similar position. 15 minutes and no adjustment of materials, backdrop etc, and with only minor adjustments to the image made within Chief.

     

    The problem with PBR is lighting.

    Screen capture from the video. Note how the doors and skylights render bright white, and how bright the outside light looks through the door on the left.

    And a Ray Trace from a similar position. I very rarely Ray Trace interiors, so just guessed at the settings.

    And I wonder how PBR or PBR + RTRT would handle lighting like this?
