Renderings Issue

[winterdd]

Hey guys, anyone know why metal siding renders like this. The upper portion often has a different contrast. Not a big deal but it would be nice to showcase my work to the client even for the smallest jobs like this.

I see the diff in the gable and also above below and adjacent the front windows.  Have you tried simply eyedropping from good and painting on bad?

I'm thinking it is lighting because it is fine in standard & vector. I've been overlooking this for years but finally just decided to post this. Again, not a big deal but CA has so many cool features to produce professional and fancy looking plans as my builders have said that this shouldn't be an issue in PBR's.

Or run it through A.I. for quick enhancement.

Not 100% perfect but getting closer ..

I just tried ChatGPT to render some framing.............it missed on the bottom cords of the trusses

I've seen this before on my stuff, its random though.  I don't remember if I fixed it or not.  I want to say, I changed it from an attic wall, but that wouldn't make sense with what you have at the window.

If only it didn't offset those post, this would be just about perfect.  Its getting there..  Did you just upload Rob's picture?

That looks great. How did you do that?

Proper prompt would have prevented post offset

That texture likely uses a normal map, and normal map creates directional based height, and chief architect often times flips map orientations, to the upper texture on your attic wall is probably upside down. Baloon frame the ower wall and it would fix it

Thanks, Rene sounds like a good solution. I am also intrigued by other posts on this thread about AI and architecture. Kind of like the internet in the mid to late 90s. Before I had I didn't understand just what it was.

Hey @winterdd, would you be down with posting the plan here.  Would be nice to poke around at the material and lighting and see if we can help you out a bit.
