    Steve: Rendering is what I do and I'd be happy to quote this project for you but I'll need more information about what type of rendering you need. Please contact me direct at 585-441-5291 so we can review. Eric

    Achieving a great result from Ray-Tracing is indeed a lot of work but if you understand the functions of the many options, it becomes much easier. If you really want to learn ray-tracing, I recommend that you start with the tutorials that Chief offers: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/search/?q=ray+tracing&default_tab=video&page=1 My basic rules for achieving a great result include proper composition, material properties and lighting. You can read more about my process here https://epvisualz.com/what-makes-a-great-rendering/. That said, the best way to learn is through trial and error. Get to know the the individual functions of the ray-trace settings and then experiment so you can see the result, there really is no quick answer. One you learn how to use it, Chief's ray-trace tool can produce some really nice results. Here's an image that was modeled (with a a few imported icons) and rendered entirely in Chief.

    I like the 3D and 360 viewer options in Chief but I wish they would display in HD (Ray-Trace) quality. Does anyone know of such a viewer that is compatible with Chief files?

    The first thing you should do is set the height of your added lights to 60 inches +-, that should get rid of the pronounced light wash on the ceiling. To make the scene brighter, try switching on Photon Mapping (in the Advanced tab). If you go this route, be sure that you have a roof over the room you are rendering to avoid light leakage where the walls meet the ceiling. Another important factor is learning the functions of the Ambient Light settings (Lighting tab), I like to use Ambient Occlusion settings of .5 - 3.5 as a starting point. The rest is just experimenting to learn the functions of the settings. There are several excellent videos on the Chief website which you should watch https://www.chiefarchitect.com/search/?default_tab=video&q=ray+tracing. Once you start to understand the many settings in the Ray Trace DBX, you'll be able to create great looking renderings. Eric

    Got it, thanks Rene.

    Your terrain looks better that mine (at least from the angle you showed), I'd appreciate if you could send your changes.
