Yeah, well no one except you and alaskan son brought up the "concept" of accepting errors for the sake of using AI. Thanks for the apology.

Steve_Nyhof Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I have used AI last year a bit trying to get one of my models to have landscaping. I guess that is what is being discussed here. AI has come a long way in a year, but it still fails. One thing I was enjoying was how it would produce fun results for alternatives of the model image and text entered. But I finally walked away because that is all it ever was for me, fun. @robdyck said a lot in his last comment about landscape blocks, doing the work, etc.. I wouldn't trade my years of experience for something or someone else doing my job. I am afraid that the new generation will be depending on AI to produce their work. I guess it can just be another tool, but no thank you, I am enjoying figuring out the design as I move along. I don't mean to show off by showing this (maybe a little), but I feel like I have really challenged myself and accomplished something fun for the client. Is that a fun lake house or what? And I couldn't image drawing it with any other software. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Not really sure what AI has to do with X17 and didn't y'all beat that horse to death already? https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/45722-i-think-im-done-rendering-in-chief/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find this out of the norm for Chief forum discussions... they head south quite often 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNestor Posted Sunday at 03:38 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:38 PM Software development seems to have matured to a point where all we get is “change for change sake”. Will PM provide us with noticeable gains in productivity? With all the requests Chief has for adds or improvements…why now such a priority on this new paradigm. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Nyhof Posted Thursday at 11:34 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:34 PM Going back to the original poster @Michael_Gia was wanting to bring attention to. I have been messing with the Project Manager for a number of weeks now and I am liking it a lot. However, it seems there could be a better backup system that makes storing and sharing files easier. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoff_Design Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I hate change, but we still must embrace it, cause its coming whether we are ready or not. I chose to install X17 beta and crossed my fingers...It was a difficult start. The user library did not migrate well as the images in manage mode came in blank. I spent 3 days trouble shooting and reinstalling and finally ended up staying in managed mode, going to X16 and exporting my user library items to an external drive and then importing them, then deleting the duplicates with the blank images...that worked. I then started a process of getting to know the rendering, ray trace capabilities by creating home made textures for testing with the goal of photo real 3d in mind, and checking to see if 3rd party rendering is the way to go or if the process with X17 has improved. My study is here I have crashed in this process about 30 times in the last few days, but am confident that Chief is paying attention to the causes. But as you can see from my study, I have been able to render some pretty decent images in the process. The crashes generally left me with getting pretty close to where I left off, but I am finding that there is some good potential for great renderings. I will continue to push the limits so that I can understand the program well. I am not fond of the backup as I cannot continue to work while it has started itself. Chief is a memory hog, especially if you have previous versions so I am keeping an eye on that...the new version cost me about 100 gb since installed. I do love operating in Chief as my workflow allows me to connect with clients in a very clear visual way. I use a 13' screen for client review and our clients love the process. I look forward to coming to understanding of the new features and their application to my workflow. I will soon need to add a couple of terabytes to my main drive to handle the programs I work with. I have 160gb left on the C drive and use two external drives to assist in managing my files. I have been with Chief Architect since the beginning and working in the program is very natural and intuitive for me. I will give further feedback as I check out the latest features.
