RTRT WYSIWYG...maybe not

[SHCanada2]

I dont think most people  use RTRT cameras on layouts, but if there someone that does, or if someone knows how to " fix" this it would be appreciated.

 

The CA save to PDF is creating a washout look compared to what I see in camera or the camera on layout, for cameras with bright sunlight. It can be seen most in the camera on the lower right:

 

Layout:

PDF (600DPI @24x36) to scale

 

camera:

 

thanks

You need to turn down the "Sunlight" using RTRT. Photo realism doesn't just happen if one is a "good buy", rather it is resident completely your responsibility to tweak a rendering by adjusting its settings (material and lighting) to obtain an acceptable result. Unfortunately it is an Art as opposed to a Science, you learn via study followed by practice-trial and error.

I'm not sure I understand. If the camera is how I like it, then I need to reduce the sunlight so it is darker than I would like, so that when it prints to pdf, it is brighter than the camera? This would seem to be a painful process

the irony is if I print the image from the plan file it prints it correctly:

When I send to layout, I send as an image. Are you sending live views?

I found the problem, or perhaps, weird behaviour.

 

If the camera is actually open when I print the layout to pdf, it prints correctly. If the camera is not open, it gets the washed out look

 

it does happen if I reduce the sun as well, just much less obvious, I reduced the sun from 2500 to 500, much better
