I use the brick in Chief mainly for simple jobs, but for remodeling, I take a picture of the clients brick wall and put it into Pix Plant 5 and create my own materials. That is the best way to show off your model to a client - who has brick. https://www.pixplant.com/ -
Very nice, Rene! What caught my eye are the two piles of mulch in the landscaping. Is that something you are selling? I'm not doing much with rendering at the moment, but I am always looking at 3D objects. For that matter, it is hard to drive down the road without looing at the trees and wonder if they are 3D objects, or what in them look fake - LOL

Stop the foundation from cutting out below

Thank you, Steve! I have drawn houses with a lower basement before. My template is just not set up for that. Maybe it is time to setup another template for that situation. -

Thank you, Steve. The walls I'm having a problem with are the front larger doors (see highlight). I have a foundation plan that is set to lower walls only... I do not seem it have problems with the doors you show. Maybe something moved on the plan when you opened it. For now to keep going I just put in boxes with the hatch... -

I think it was just a fluke. A computer gremlin.

I tried that and nothing changed. Thank you -
Does anyone know a way to stop the door opening from cutting out the foundation below. I have my door flush to the top of the foundation floor and wall, but it still cuts out the opening. I have raised my door but that does not work. Thank you, Steve

We sure did!

I followed your lead and just made a new wall, starting with the foundation wall first, and then added the 8" brick wall, then turned it into a railing wall. That might be the fix. The first time I made the wall, I made an 8" brick wall, turned it into a railing wall, then added the foundation wall as a pony. I did download your drawing and it all looks right.
-
I will download and check it out. I did a lot of messing with that wall, so making it over sounds like it will solve it. Thank you again!
-
Maybe you have another setting I am missing. Once again, the exterior is fine and looking and working as expected, but the middle and interior want to go down.
-
My exteriors show proper which is the most important my exteriors, but if you find a fix for the interior wall that would be appreciated!
-
Thank you, Sir! That makes perfect sense to me. Great job
-
Can anyone look into this please? I cannot get my brick to sit on top of my foundation wall. It wants to go into my foundation wall. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OeaKBstovBhJQE--_gbhkzjOVX0CXOBC/view?usp=sharing Thank you, Steve

The one thing I am learning with X16 is to use the HDRI backdrops. I have included some I liked. This makes the house look more real. I still use the X15 background images for some work as you can see above, but there are times on my computer that some kind of light washes them out, makes vertical light strips on it But I like to use the HDRI backdrop with the background images because I can get nice window reflections with it. Big thing is to find a process and reproduce it. With each rendering there is always some tweaking. I also use a few of Chiefs 3d trees to cast shadows vs the 2d trees I include. 2D trees just do not give a good result.

Beautiful house, Rene!!

You're welcome!

I have not figured out why. I plan to just use the spline tool for drawing and converting it into a terrain spline.
-
Thank you! I love the rotator tool. It does not have an end like within the DBX - thank you for sharing
-
Photoshop also has a specific DBX to modify HDR images...
-
Changing the Resolution to something higher makes no difference. Chief must have a set diameter that it is setting the image size. Right now you can change the Horizontal Tile to 2, to push it away. You can use Photoshop, Camera Raw Filter... to mess with the greens and blues and other settings.
-
Changing the paper size does not change the image size
-
Hi Joe, You can control the size of the backdrop by increasing the Horizontal Tile to 2 - I have done this a few times to push the background away from the model a bit. You may also need to control the Vertical Max and Min to bring it back into the right perspective. The only thing I think will work is to move the whole model to more of the center of the default paper size location (I use "D" size). I have not tested if changing the paper size would make a difference - seems like it would. hmmm

You can find these HDRi backgrounds on the web for free, so I put them together into a X16 Library. 500 Mb File... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z1TXAw3rGEmUVDoaQRbxZ93hxoDGFc0Y/view?usp=sharing These are 4K. The last backgrounds I uploaded some time ago were 8k which are too large for most computer setups.
