  1. " Don't think anyone is going to show you the things I can show you ... "
  2. can you apply an emissiveness to its properties ? in TM you just increase its brightness with a slider

  4. " Or they have this one in Chief Library "
  5. I use a combination of Chief and an Excel template specially created to work with Chief Super quick, great lumber lists they even tell the framer where the lumber is intended to be used and Excel is a REAL SPREADSHEET so you can add line items ! Call me to discuss Bob S. 973-897-5013 or rmsdesigngroup@gmail.com
  6. My ultimate goal is to help my clients explore and find the interior (ext.) design style, that works best for them, early on in the project. Around the world there are over 200 different design styles ranging from Traditional to Mid Century Modern to Coastal to American BOHO, to name a few, and a slew of hybrids. My customers love the fact that not only can they quickly see a multitude of design styles, but also " try out " brand name products and see how they relate to each other These design choices then, drive the plans & drawings, which is the way it should be Decisions are now informed ones. . Since these brand specific items can ultimately be purchased and incorporated into the build, it results in a very predictable design outcome. I manage expectations by letting people know that AI technology is about helping them discover their design style, but is often not 100 % accurate or consistent. Its about idea generation and exploration. If I need really accurate 3D renderings, I use TM or DR 5 the crux of the matter that I feel you are missing is in the beginning of a design process the focus should be on a combination of precision and feel. From the clients perspective it's: " How is it going to feel to live in these rooms, this house, this yard ? " BTW: Houzz and Pinterest are not in same league as AI insofar as being a vehicle for exploring and quickly finding ones ideal design style As far as Photorealism & lighting quality being deceptive, it's true, A.I. only provides a generalized look; but how many users out there are factoring in trees (type) ( current & future ), buildings, location, and weather, when they do renders ?
  7. Lol! Wish I could write like that ..' " I quite often use quotes " I you are at all familiar with A.I. technology you should be able to easily pick out something not written by a human being .
  8. " Then you probably aren't using prompts correctly. The way I use A.I., which is obviously not being understood, is not to be the last word in accuracy but rather to explore design styles and brand name elements and get that right early on. The way I think good design should be done. I rarely use A.I. for exterior renders preferring DR 5 for those instead."
  9. " And the time it takes to produce this level of photorealism and lighting quality DR 5 and T M take a lot longer than A.I."
  10. Understood, but why show the client something leaning and distorted when I'm pretty sure T M has a make parallel button BTW thought your previous A'I. did not look cartoonish at all
  11. Not sure how project being built has anything to do with renderings being realistic or not. Most people aren't doing builds like yours Yes, I do mostly interior renders now My clients love the A.I generated interior ideas and don't seem to consider them " boilerplate " at all This one features Ashley furniture, Mohawk wood flooring, and Benjamin Moore Oxford Gray wall paint color As I mentioned previously, when I am finished they can go and buy the very products I am showing them and be sure of the final design outcome .. Yeah, I guess we sure don't work the same.
  12. " A bit of a lean unless it's a modern day version of leaning tower of Pisa .. Not sensing too much accurate realism for client here ..
  13. " More than just what colors clients like, but also the ability to quickly look at multiple design style choices such as mid century modern, traditional, transitional, coastal, farmhouse or hybrid combinations in photorealism with spot on very realistic natural and artificial lighting My workflow is to start with a basic chief plan-design, then explore with the client interior design choices, then fine tune window doors etc.as they affect the CAD plans/drawings. My clients are well aware that tweaking comes afterwards and it's not intended to be super exact and precise.
  14. " A.I. is mainly for idea generation and exploration which should come very early on in a project design. then plans are fine tuned for precise window door sizes, styles, locations etc. after that "
