RL-inc Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 When setting a raytrace image to a specific size- say 1800x1200- is there a way to get some sort of a preview of the final output window without running the raytrace. I am having to run the first pass- see where the image parameters are in the view -close the raytrace - adjust in, out, up, or down- run the first pass again- check view parameters- close raytrace- adjust- and so on until I get the final output view I want. Thanks for any input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge_Runner Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Why not run it first at a much smaller size so you can get an idea of changes needed (especially lighting) and then up the size after those are adjusted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL-inc Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Thanks for the reply but that is not the issue I am having- I can and do run the prelims at the active window size and make adjustments. the issue is I need to create the final image at a specific output size fro realtor use - in this case 1800x1200. I am having to continually adjust how far back or close to the model I am creating the raytrace view from to get it to create the output window that I want. I have attached 3 screen shots - 1- the full camera view I needed to get to the raytrace 2- the raytrace view I needed to get to 3 3- the exported view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northriver Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Rob, I want to compliment you on the design. It is a really sharp looking home with a modern look. Starting to see a more modern look in new subdivisions. We are developing a more modern looking prairie style home with 4:12 to 5:12 pitch shed roofs for our next plat.

Northriver Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Look up Main View Homes on the web. They will be similar but with shed roofs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Rob, resize your window so that it is the size and shape you need and then use active window size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL-inc Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Michael- Are you referring to a setting in CA or actually changing the display setting in windows or through my Nvidia graphics settings ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm talking about using the control handles to physically change your Chief Architect 3D view window size. I'm away from my computer so I can't make any visuals but essentially all you should have to do is drag your library browser over to make the window narrower or if you have multiple monitors just resize the Chief Architect window by resizing the whole thing or by tiling another view and using that to resize the window.

RL-inc Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'll play with that - but it appears that while I can create a window size that is proportionate (1.5 /1) to the actual size I need I can't a window that is large enough to get the full size I am after 1800x1200. Good idea Eric - maybe one to post in the suggestions forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL-inc Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 I thought dual 27" would get the job done - but guess not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 2 hours ago, solver said: Chief needs the ability to create a Viewport -- a frame of a specified size that you can move around the screen to frame what you want in the ray trace. Chief would then restrict its ray trace to what is inside the frame. 2 hours ago, RL-inc said: I'll play with that - but it appears that while I can create a window size that is proportionate (1.5 /1) to the actual size I need I can't a window that is large enough to get the full size I am after 1800x1200. Good idea Eric - maybe one to post in the suggestions forum. I feel like we basically already have that viewport functionality it's just not super intuitive. Try this... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanla Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I think everyone knows that changing the photo size leads to a lower quality. I also confronted this problem. Three months ago, I needed to upload a photo on a server, and for some reason, it just wasn't accepted. The photo size wasn't the right one, so I had to change the photo size. It is not a big deal, but changing the size means lower quality. Thankfully, I stumbled on this site https://imglarger.com/enhancer, and found out how to enhance or fix blurry images with no problems, or to improve the quality of my photos. If you want, you can also check the site I am talking about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
