  1. I have a Logitech M570 cordless trackball, works great.
  2. I got rid of my mouse 20 years ago as it was causing too much pain in my arm. I switched to a trackball (Logitech currently) and my arm pain went away. I also like that it is stationary, no need to move it around my desk. It's also great for remote use when space is at a premium (I can put it on my knee).
  3. Jason: Here's a great site I found for grass and ground-cover: http://www.tonytextures.com/free-green-nature-ground-texture-photo-gallery/ Eric
  4. Chief tech support has recommended to me Studio Drivers not game ready.
  5. Susan: The color assigned to your light sources can affect the color of the scene as can the amount of artificial light and ambient light along wit their respective settings. It would help if you post the plan. Eric
  6. My current kitchen project has a corner cabinet holding a cook-top. The cabinets to the left are 24" deep and the cabinets on the right are 30" deep. I don't see an option to specify the different depths nor can I just drag one end to match he adjoining cabinet. Any thoughts?
  7. Here's a Crepe Myrtle I have in my library... Crepe Myrtle 01.zip
  8. I don't know why that didn't show up in my search (same search term):
  9. I need to create a reflected ceiling plan but I don't know of a way to do this in Chief. Has anyone done one?
  10. You can produce some really nice renderings in Chief but you'll need to upgrade from HD Pro to Chief to get the ray trace feature.There are some excellent video tutorials in the knowledge base which are a good place to start. From there, it's a matter of learning the various features and techniques described through experimentation. Here are a couple of scenes I rendered in Chief (with some symbols and materials brought in from outside sources)... rendered in X9: : rendered in X13: There are other rendering programs that can produce really outstanding results but that requires investing in more software and also learning it. I guess it's all a matter of how much time and money you're willing to invest and for what type of result.
  11. This sounds like something I can help you with. Please contact me directly at 585-441-5291 or eric@epvisualz.com if you'd like to discuss. - Eric P.M. sent
