Hi

I have been watching the video tutorials on exterior rendering primarily the lighting features and effects .  Can anyone tell me about  PARALLEL lighting placed facing the buildings exterior??? I can't locate  anywhere.  Cad arrow does not convert ...also where do I find the lighting for the interior rooms that show a yellow glow .  I've tried the electrical but only see the auto  LGIHT for ceiling which is a light fixture not a glow.

Its probably so easy but for the life of me I can't figure it out.  My exterior renders are not bad but would be more affective with the features available in said video    

Much thanks

HI

My client has hired me to provide various exterior facade ideas for her new home build.  Building is no issue but the roof is where I am having difficulty with in this particular plan,  Usually I have no problem creating roofs  but this has various pitches and I can't seem to follow the architects roof planes.

I have been watching videos and working on this plan for several days looking at this roof for 2 full days trying to figure out the planes and roof styles in this architectural plan.

Can you look at this PDF  and my roof plan

I would appreciate it if someone can let me know what I am missing in my thought  process to get the roof right - probably  making mountain out of a mole hill or looking at it too long

In the meantime I will carry on with the exterior and keep at the roof

Many Thanks

Hi

I was wondering if it is possible to turn this bay window  area into a pony wall, ,wall type does not show this option but thought maybe someone has come across  this and found  a solution  . or do  I have to create bay windows manually ?  I've tried applying wall material region but it does not seem to take

thanks  My nvidia was set up as basic not on my rtx graphics  keep my fingers  crossed that was the issue 

I purchased this new computer a few weeks ago, ALIENWARE M15 RYZEN ED. R5

When I create my designs and send them to my clients - they are not seeing what I see.  The color calibration is not a cool white but a warm white

I have reached out to DELL several times to check on my color calibration but nothing happens, I may have to return .. see what they can do.

The basic colors on CA11  are crisp and clear on my old toshiba but duller on my Alienware in CA 

I am aware that computers can differ in calibrations but this is so far from reality it is scary and my clients  are not happy   

Wondering if it is CA software when I transferred or computer

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

HI

When I create the terrain it shows on the plan but not the camera view,  shows 3 trees symbol on plan view and camera view.  I've cleared terrain and started again but it still seems to be stuck for lack of a better word,  I had this issue a long time ago and figured it out but not today,

any suggestions welcome

Hi

I have a new ALIENWARE M15 RYZEN ED. R5 laptop.  I have installed my ca 11 on my new  laptop.  I still can't get any textures,  I have updated my core library and bonus +manufactures libraries.  I have no idea why I still have no textures,  works on my old lap top fine but does not show in standard rendering on this new laptop,  The image shows the standard rendering and the material I was trying to  I was trying to add to the island.

It was suggested I back up the plan - but nothing changed

Any ideas thanks

Ok  i will do that..thanks

I received this message..not sure how  I should move forward

Good Morning

I have a new Alienware laptop  M15 RYZEN R5.  Here is my issue.  Seems the  renderings are  different on both laptops but not sure if its because  of the CA software or my new Alienware laptop.   I see a big difference in the standard renderings as you can see by the SAMPLE IMAGES BELOW. There are no materials showing on surfaces on the alienware.

Can anyone direct me as to the problem . I have been going back and forth with  my license trying the CA X 11 on both, 

I have clients  that want to make changes to their designs and I have had to go back to my old TOSHIBA laptop in order to show the changes to blend in with their current design.

Is this an issue with my computer or color calibration or materials with the software??  I have been in touch with DELL techs several times to check color calibration on my new laptop .  the only issue with the color /materials is on my Alienware CA    Any sites regular google I look at seem to be ok .  

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Levina

thank you

So I had to transfer my COA program to my new computer.. but the colors are totally off is this CA or Alienware.  My blues are grey and my reds terrible /  Maybe I have to adjust the colors on my computer ..  My old Toshiba had   crisp clear colors  

so is ray trace better with each upgrade

yes you have a point for sure..

Thank  you ...ok so should this is a good purchase.  That's great.  I would upgrade but my SSA has not been current since September 2020  so will be  costly to invest in at the moment  after just  purchasing a computer .Business has not been great since COVID and is taking time to get back to normal

But at least I know I'm ok with the computer.   I can design a house - have no idea about computer specs.  But I did take my time is getting this laptop with a lot of help from my friends so thank you for reinforcing my purchase decision

Greatly appreciated
