  1. ok thanks - no room under the gable
  2. HI Any suggestions on how I can install recessed lighting in the the underside of a roof gable such as seen below and I know it needs supports Thanks
  3. thanks I figured it out after a while ...
  4. It was in PBR-TR and working great now it doesn't even show on the tool bar. the attached images shows the tool bar in plan mode and then on PBR-RT .. maybe I have to reach out to technical support
  5. Hi the DENOISE TOOL SEEMS TO BE FROZEN.. ANY SUGGESTIONS. When I open the plan. the saved cameras are there but frozen in PBR-RT and I cannot make any adjustments. I can change the renderings to standard and any other option but when I go back to PBR-RT the image is frozen - I can't make any adjustments to the rendering even the material tool is not visible
  6. Hi Here is a screen shot of a project I'm working as well as the product I'm trying to recreate on the house. I have just recently downloaded PIXPLANT5 but still learning Will pix plant recreate the products texture so it looks more realistic on the house - as for the color - the metal siding looks different in person as well as images on line so that is not my main concern. The client feels that if he lists this proposed house build for sale it will not will not show the product properly. thanks in advance Levina
  7. Hi Steve What was the site you mentioned in one of your posts where I can download free HDRI scenery and people. I did download just about all your backdrops- water splashes- shadow trees-etc. but mid September I had a computer virus which knocked out my CA program and all the downloads I had taken from you.. BTW Thanks thanks Steve
  8. thanks Jim good idea - where to find people !!
  9. I thank you all for your comments - this forum is soo good. This client sent me their plans, also the materials and colors they wanted for the exterior as well as the window style... I'm liking the idea of people, cars etc,,, CA only has silhouettes.. where can I get people ... I am going to follow all of your suggestions Thanks a lot -- 60% of my renderings are exterior so I'm really wanting to get it as good as I can is there a particular version of PIXPLANT I should download
  10. Hi I've attached a screen shot of an exterior rendering I did for a client. Can someone tell me if this is good and how I can improve on my rendering techniques. Guessing its a mix of lighting and adjustments plus I notice the various backdrops make a huge difference in the overall color effect .. Am I on the right track?? all advice is welcome Many thanks Levina
  11. make one ,, that' s interesting ae you saying we can make siding profile??
  12. thank you David.. it worked. I knew I had done it before but I couldn't figure it out..
  13. HI I am trying to import this siding material the clients wants to see to put on their house . I an import no problem but how can I size it properly - when I use the define material TEXTURE to adjust it just ends up all over the house not as actual siding

  15. this is not for practice..I am not an architect I am a designer,, I do not build houses but can do floor plans and design simple houses. Mostly I create 3D models and rendering service from clients house plans and assist them with adding various materials and colors to the exteriors and interiors so they can see the concept idea before they order products. Been doing this for many years but every now and then a roof comes along that I just cant get it, maybe its a blind spot or my brain - not sure - some of you are probably laughing at this and I don't blame you ha ha Anyway I've loaded the plan with my errors left in so you can see I tried.. If some one can assist that's great I am willing to pay -- Thanks in advance for this forum and its help Levinasample of messy roof.plan sample of messy roof.plan
  16. This is not practice. Clients send me their house plans so I can build it and show them the various siding and roofing options colors materials etc with so many options for people its sometimes hard to make a decision without seeing it on their your home then they can order the siding etc knowing how its going to look . I have a clot of client that do this. the architect does the design and I create the look. its just that this roof has me stumped
