Latest Rendering Techniques with X18 and A.I.??
Michael_Gia replied to DB-Designs's topic in General Q & A
René, visualization and specification are two different functions, and AI changing an object in a 3D visualization shouldn’t be confused with changing the actual design specification. 3D renderings should not be used for spec. That’s what detail drawings are for and perhaps references to manufacturers’ PDF specs for any given product or material are for. OP posted a question. My first response showed what ChatGPT can do with a simple prompt and 40 seconds. Show me how a Chief user (Not René) could do the same in that amount of time and effort. -

I get downloaded every time, but I’ll say it again. Chief should stop with all the unnecessary improvements in PBR Ray tracing, baloney. We don’t need it. We need a decent stair tool. The ability to design windows and not just mull them together. Dimensions in elevations are still a major chore. Cad tools are really underdeveloped and not accurate. And all the other frustrating issues that have not been resolved for eons. It's still the best software of its kind, hands down, and I’m not going anywhere else. Just saying- 28 replies

@DB-Designs about 25 seconds in ChatGPT. My prompt: Increase photorealism of this image. Improve lighting, global illumination, reflections, shadows, and material texture resolution. Preserve the exact architecture, materials, proportions, windows, doors, and camera perspective. Do not modify the design in any way—only enhance realism and render quality. -

looks undermount to me but it's as if your counter is semitransparent? It you look towards the faucets it's clearly undermount but then around front I'm seeing through the counter at the cut-out edge.

Print Preview. It does not preview any print. Either I'm taking crazy pills or certain folks/fanboys here protect Chief at all cost. It's their team. they can do no wrong. If printing to PDF was a snappy process I wouldn't mind. I would just print and no big deal, but as you all know printing to pdf is slow as molasses. So it would be nice to have a print preview. I guess I'm overly demanding.

I didn’t know the D in your initial was for downvote.

Do you realize if you have a command called "print preview" then it should show exactly what the printed document would look like? Otherwise call it "more or less approximate print preview maybe" Then that would be genuine.

Does absolutely nothing. I wish it would work like a pdf in Acrobat where ctrl 0, displays actual size where you can use a ruler on your monitor and it’s to scale.

René is on another level.

You are correct. But it was a hopeful illusion for a moment.

I tried messing with room dividers to at least get the condition in plan view but as you can see in 3D it doesn't match the plan.

you’re in luck, they clearly don’t pay attention to this forum for future development!

We don’t need more 3D stuff.
