Hi All

Thanks for the great feedback, i really appreciate it

thanks i've attached a white render, showing the geometry. As you can se it's quite complex

Its a combination of different things that makes the whole thing work first of all i've made the road in a rough geometry, with holes and small hills. Then i have intersected this with a plane with a water material, and this makes the large ponds on the road. The wet look of the asphalt is made via a specular map, and a bump map. Maybe i should put together a "making of.." article at some point

Thanks! the look of a matte painting is precisely what i was going for I think its the complex, un-even geometry, highres textures, and a bit of post production that makes the image look more "free hand painted"

Yeah that would be great, I get where you are coming from though, thanks for the reply!

Great work Herbo, tips for a wet road?

Quote from Thomas Schander

No need to apologize, we're happy to hear your and all others opinions!

Vignetting is a good example for a feature that has practically no performance impact. The only disadvantage could be that the settings window might become bloated. In this case, I think it may be worth adding.

Good to know Thomas!!

Kind of have to agree with some of the above points in regards to Vignetting. If this sort of feature is added at the loss of speed in real-time results then it will start to be less the product it was/is IMO especially for such an easy thing to do in PP.

I would upvote this too, weathering would add another level of realism if i can be achieved in Enscape.

There are RPC people on the 3D warehouse.....

Revit or Sketchup? They look great, I think some of the textures could do with a bump map included in them though!

I don't think this is an Enscape issue though, it's more of a interoperability issue between Revit and Sketchup.

Wait, what material editor you're talking about? Am I missing something?

Sketchup Material Editor

You could 'Copy/Monitor' the elements of the linked model and potentially do it that way (don't quote me on this, we only tend to copy/monitor grid lines).

You can't! You have to go into the MEP model and physically change the materials. You can 'transfer project standards' and just pick materials and any that are replicated in the MEP model you can choose to override but it means re-saving a consultants model which isn't really best practice.

Are you talking about Linked MEP models?

Great stuff Herbo!

I would be for this also....!

I would have serious concerns about giving and leaving a VR set on-site with foreman. It would need investment from a contractor point and then they are pretty much relying on working with you for the remainder of their projects (something that unfortunately doesn't always happen!) especially if you're the only one's running VR.

I like the Oculus Go, I'm hoping we will invest in it when it's released as it's a lot easier to use than a wired connection.

The problem is Revit doesn't handle high poly models well, it triangulates them and it doesn't appear that great.

I followed this tutorial on bringing in a bed into Revit using the RPC creator: http://help.archvision.com/cre…rials/3D+RPC_Creator.html hope it helps!

Maybe get something from the Sketchup Warehouse and export to CAD?

Thanks dan_noviun http://www.poliigon.com has a ton of great materials as well!

Wow yeah it does thanks Ted!

What are your material settings for the glass?

Quote from Richard Pulford

dan_noviun Thanks for the response,

Useful to discuss and much appreciated! I thought that might be the case with 3.D+.

I haven't yet found any trees which are 3D+ (beyond the standard ones which work really well and the odd spider plant).

Could I ask what you use for these? Do you have a comparable source to AYXZ or just utilise a combination of 3D Archvision or standard Enscape content?

Cheers,

Richard

Yes we tend to work with the trees from the Enscape content, we've got the library set up on our network and just copy out the trees that will work best with the scene, for revit they tend to work quite well and look pretty decent too. I haven't dipped into the foliage on the Archvision Dashboard really because we've not needed to.

Not for people no, we only use the AXYZ for RPC people and combine that with the standard trees etc.

Also on the above, we have Replace Archvision Content ticked as standard and the AXYZ content will show up.

Hope this helps
