I couldn't remember how to get the sky on and was scared that everything would go black if I did. But as you can see below, I have still some way to go to get a handle on the ACA08 mental ray. That's why I am happy to put up with the disruption to my whole rendering process to move to the New mental ray engine - because it's built inside ACAD! - It echoes my philosophy of one package even if it's taken them a couple of releases to get it right. Exporting into MAX and re-sorting all the assignments etc just doesn't have the efficiency for a rapid turnaround I need though we do get the pro's to re-do bigger jobs when it gets to marketing. Architectural AutoCAD Clone Software, no learning curve for AutoCAD users, Natively reads and writes AutoCAD DWG files, no need for conversion Includes Walls Doors, Windows with trim and cleanup, stair plans, sections, and ceiling patterns. If my boss again wants design changes, I can make them, attach the entourage file and re-render (which takes about 5mins. In just a few days I have designed and modelled a 12 unit (1bed) development with plans ready to be submitted for planning approval, changed numorous times as everyone has had their say AND done a reasonable street render as well, all without leaving the program! Ok the glass doesn't meet Mental Ray's level but for a factory level render I can turn them out quite efficiently. As I'm still using ADT06 ( not VisRender), I've done a quick render to explore some ideas for the company. Okay I know that Max and Viz does a better job, but you could really get a reasonable job out of the old engine if you knew how to be tender. It's a pity that the interface was so clunky.
