"It might look a lot better as a light source. Make it an area light, make sure to aim it toward the seats, and check the Use Object Color box. I'm pretty sure this one could look a lot better. Upload it if you want me to take…"
Roy Hirshkowitz replied to Albert D Hart's discussion I've an old release of accurender 4 and autocad 2007, how can I upgrade my program?
"Nope-- there is no 64-bit AutoCAD 2007. The user will need to install and load the 32-bit version."

Roy Hirshkowitz replied to Alfons Akamp's discussion AR5 und Xeon Prozessoren
"The standard engine is limited to 16 threads (I think.) I don't think the hybrid engine has any limitations-- can't remember what I did for the Path Tracer."
Roy Hirshkowitz replied to Paul Jackson's discussion Reflecting an image/photo.
"The standard engine does have a lot of options. You should be able to specify a background image that is reflection only. You can test it by setting the glass material to a purely reflective surface-- like a metal. If you…"
Roy Hirshkowitz replied to gustavo talpo's discussion 3d positioning on background image
"Nope-- no screen arrows are planned. The keyboard arrows do work, however."
Roy Hirshkowitz replied to akinlolu olugboji's discussion Wishlist - Moving RPC for Animation
"Not true. They've had the fix for months and haven't released it (as far as I know.)"
Roy Hirshkowitz replied to akinlolu olugboji's discussion Wishlist - Moving RPC for Animation
"It's still on the list. I've been very busy for the past week or so and that's likely to continue a few more days. We are totally dependent on ArchVision for this-- I may not be able to make it happen in any case."
Roy Hirshkowitz replied to Alfons Akamp's discussion Build 327
"327 is a minor update. It adds support for Layer/Material schemes in AutoCAD 2007-2009."

Mattos said… Bom dia Roy! Estou com dificuldades ao ADD plantas e e arvores, em alguns arquivos eles ficam gigantes, e em alguns ficam normal, onde,quando ou como corrijo essa questão de escala das plantas, seria antes de iniciar o NXT, ou na hora de criar o projeto em DWG,
Agradeço muito se puder me auxiliar, pois estou sempre exportando os arquivos DWG para ambientes onde as plantas estão na escala, com isso o arquivo fica muito grande mesmo depois de purgar!!

kk said… - Hi...I would like to know this license is for single user or multiple user? Normally how you control the license? For example, now i install this plug in software into computer A, suddently i change my mind , i install again this software into computer B, is there any problem occur? Do you have any extra charges for the upgrade version?

Dean Connolly posted a discussionDecals for monitor block
Not sure if I am doing something wrong but when I have added a decal to a monitor screen, and then import the block into my drawing it renders the decal for the first block ok, if I then add the same block again or copy the block or mirror it the decal doesn't render?See More
Sergio Astorga replied to Sergio Astorga's discussion Screen Glow"Thanks Ian. That is what I was missing, the "use object color". I used the area light on the screen and aimed it toward the seats. I might need to adjust the lighting. I used 60W white light. I used the Hybrid engine, 380…"
Garret Diduck replied to Sergio Astorga's discussion Screen Glow"I've had equal results using either method akinlolu mentioned. The monitor on the left has the screen as a light source. The one on the right has the screen as a glow material. Or maybe it's the other way around......
I do turn the color…"
Miguel Tano Adanes replied to gustavo talpo's discussion 3d positioning on background image"I totally agree with you, Gustavo. Those arrows where better than the actual mouse-keyboard controls. Until there will be a completely new camera match tool, which I hope to see very soon."
gustavo talpo replied to gustavo talpo's discussion 3d positioning on background image"but this is not the wishlist?"
akinlolu olugboji replied to gustavo talpo's discussion 3d positioning on background image"Now that the R & D term is better, maybe it time to ask for it again. Besure to put id in the Wishlist thread also."
Ian Foster Griffith replied to gustavo talpo's discussion 3d positioning on background image"Agreed
Have been asking for the Arrows back for many years, the posts stop and nobody is interested in the issue. I gave up and make do with new controls."
