  1. I am really having a love hate relationship with PBR. I think its a great product, it definitely provides a great alternative to RT, however I feel it was introduced at the expense of RT instead of updating RT.
  2. Don’t give me wrong, I’m enjoying PBR, it’s speed, being able to see almost in real time what’s happening etc. but I still think RT provides a higher quality photo with more details and realistic looks. So I would have preferred if it worked in such a way that PBR would have allowed you to see what it looks like with decente results and for some people that’s good enough and RT would have been a step up from there without the need of setting up a copy of the plan with different materials settings, lights, etc.
  3. Have you all experienced that if a scene looks good in PBR it doesn't necessarily mean it will look good in RT? Actually most of the times its not even close? I am having to duplicate my plan, one specifically for PBR the other for RT, if I want to RT off course.
  4. Ju Just to give you a little background, the Uniform Intensity versions rendered in about 25minutes, the ambient Occlusion in about 13 min. I imagine that if I had let the X10 run longer it would have given me better images but I wanted to test it close as possible with the same parameters and criteria. All this to say that for the same time invested, X9 provided a better image.
  5. Here are my results: I was mostly concentrating on getting a reflection in the countertop, which it worked. Interestingly though, the image clarity of the renders is not the same for X9 and X10. I am sure if I fix the materials and some of the settings I can get some better images in X10 however I would have thought that this being already done in X9 would have translate it to X10 and made it even better than x9.
  6. The X9 version looks so much better. However I do see an improvement from the previous run through
  7. I’ve had this happening to me if my materials were too glossy
  8. Thank you Mark, any solution for the wall on the right? You are right about the saved camera, I deleted it thinking it was me not setting the camera right and deleted it wanting to start fresh.
  9. Do you guys think the lines along the walls and ceilings are due to my graphic card? I have saved the PBR as an image at about 1200x... no lines I then saved it as a much larger version just to test it out and I got the lines. I am currently running it through RT and I am not getting any lines. Thoughts? gardenia02:13:18.plan.zip
  10. Considering my video card is not one of the best, I find it a lot easier and faster than RT. You can on average get an image to look pretty good within 5-10 minutes. The biggest advantage in my opinion is that you can see those changes almost immediately where with RT you would need to run the image through the rendering process to see the applied changes.
  11. I’ve done some similiar experiment. Here are two images, the PBR version took about 5 minutes and I ran it through photoshop as well to help with colors, contrasts curves etc. The RT version took about 3o minutes to render, I was going for a HI-DEF file as this was being printed. There are some details that I love about the PBR, however I couldn’t get the glass around the pendant lights to look clear nor the home sign on top of the cabinets to display black as in the RT version. You will notice that in the RT version the metals do not look the best but hopefully that is being addressed with the final release of X10.
  12. If you export it as a 360 JPG you can then go to facebook and post that image. Facebook will automatically display it as a 360 panoramic.
  13. It definitely shows potential, but I am with you, I wish it hadn't impacted RT. Hopefully it will get solved by the launch of X10 full release.
  14. Thank you Eric for posting their response.
  15. What I’m seeing is that there is no way to control lighting, sun intensity.
  16. I've been messing around with creating a walkthrough video on X10, the standard rendering does ok but I thought I would take advantage of PBR. The one thing I noticed is that all of the lights are on, I have tried turning all of the lights off, adding a sun pointer to reduce the amount of light coming in through the windows but nothing seem to help. Any thoughts? Has anyone tried anything like this?
  17. I’m really curious about what they are going to say.
  18. ericpv you've really done a nice job with the room, I think there is no comparison between the X9 RT and X10. Sure the X10 looks good, but it is missing so much of the details and realism that defeats the point of waiting on RT to render an image.
