When will Chief incorporate AI for rendering? It’s time

[Michael_Gia]

We all know it’s coming. 
 

Archicad has introduced their version. 
 

I’d like to see the same in Chief…

I dunno, It seems like a lot of typing and knowing what to type. It looks like style palettes for furniture.  it uses the keyword "view" to change the backdrop (what if you want a different snowy backdrop, do you type, view: next snowy (reminds me of autocad in the 90s)?). I think I'd rather have a non modal floating window with the different palettes (CA's room, a new one for furniture) where I can see the preview of the different palettes and pick the one I want.

 

I find these types of things, unless they are very very polished, are slower than what could be  accomplished with more functionality and more control in the UI.

Everyone wants something different. I would love the ability to import cloud scans and model on top of them. If we pay for software, we should have the right to vote on where we want developers to focus their energy.

  You can save and then copy and paste your scripts for one thing

and AI is getting better and more intuitive every day.

   Doubt if it will be long before you can tell it to create a building 24' x 48' with

2 stories 3 bedrooms, 8/12 hip roof, etc., etc, and it will do so ...

   Currnetly, if you want a backdrop with snowy mountains, lake or river, and pine trees on a sunny day,

just copy and paste that saved script and get 3 quick views for your review

My question is when will Chief incorporate AI to improve the production of…

CONSTRUCTION DOCS

 

Leave rendering to pro apps that are already more advanced than Chief.

then why not just create a "scene" which incorporates the 2 palettes(room and furniture) and the backdrop?

 

I'd rather click thru different "snowy" backdrops(with a preview) in the library (by searching for snowy) and watch the scene change, as opposed to sitting there and copy and paste different backdrop names from a script (you would then need to search thru the scripts looking for the one you want, and have to know them by name because you could not actually see what they looked like)

 

Where I think CA could be better is the search and result set, and the requirement to go into the background dialog box to specify it. It would be nice to click on the background in the 3d view, search for snowy (because it knows I clicked on the backdrop so it filters the results for backdrops) and pick the one I want to try, then click the next one. 

 

The attributes on the library could use some improvement. For instance I cannot search for a square dining room table which is about 5ft wide.

The hardest thing in rendering is lighting and materials. 
Ai is great for that. 
 

As far as your background or anything else you want to control then you can just prompt the ai to “keep background”
