I am new to AutoCAD and was wondering if there is a quick and easy way to take 2D linework and attach materials to it for rendering. (i.e. I would like to make my 2D elevations look like it has actual siding on it... how cna I do this?)

I have a rendering image in PNG format that I want to have dimension. These dimensions will be in all 3 planes.
I want them allinged to object sort of like what you get when you view dimensons in perspective (first arrow is bigger than second arrow text is getting smaller as it goes further away etc.).
Currently I import my image and draw each arrow, each line, slant the text and it looks so-so... not the greatest and it is A LOT OF WORK. Then i print the dimensions to and image and combine the rendering and image in GIMP.
I'm rendering an equipment shelter that sits atop a gravel pad. I've picked the "Gravel Crushed" material, and it looks OK, but I'd like to be able to scale the material so it isn't so "fine". I'd like it to be more coarse.
How to change the scale of the material?
I think I'm pretty close to understanding how to get realistic interior lighting with nice soft shadows etc. However, I can't figure out how to get the sun & sky background to stop putting all these spots on my walls!
I previously made a version using 1000 "rays" for "Final Gather" and it looks a bit better....but it's still spotty.
How to get genuine soft shadows sans spots from the sun & sky background?
I've played with every parameter I can think of, but nothing smooths out the spots even a little bit.

How do I move a 360 Panorama Image over to 360 so I can share the panorama? When I download the panorama it downloads as an image strip not a panorama and on the 360 Rendering page I cannot find a way to share the image.

I have a middle complexity model, with several decals (,jpg, Using Mask), projected to different parts. When I start Studio, and start rendering, Inventor hangs. The render window opens, but it freezes on Translating and soon both of the windows are not answering. I've checked th CPU. Inventor uses around 1G of ram, during regular use. When I start rendering, slowly it goes up around 5,5G, and eventually the Windows freezes. Rendering the same model without a decal works fine.
I've installed all the Windows updates, and the Inv2013 1.1 Service Pack. Nothing worked.

how to render roofs correctly so I made this simple drawing..When placing the roof material on the... roof, it looks correct on the west slope but upside down on the east slope
I know how to rotate the image and bump for the material, but do I have to do that and create numerous roof materials in my drawing - one for each slope? Or is there a different way to map the material to the 3D object?
I have a model i created in 3ds max 2013 but need to render it out as 9 foot wide by 11 foot high .in the rendering engine i can only find 800 by 600.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe Substance Maps are not rendering with the NVIDIA Mental Ray renderer in MAX 2013.
The maps display nicely in the view port and render with the Default Scanline renderer and the Quicksilver renderer. It also doesn't render with the NVIDIA iray renderer. The same Substance material setup renders fine with the Mental Ray renderer in MAX 2012. What's UP!!
why i cannot change the color of the background when rendering? It is always black, and i cannot attached or make new material, if need to attach jpeg or new texture on my drawing, cannot create new material. what should i do? im currently using autocad for mac 2012.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded Revit 2013 and this is the first project I started working on. I rendered a few cameras and they turned out ok, but all of a sudden the rendered images turned out blue and yellow. I didn't make any changes in the materials or lighting, but they still turn out the same. I even tried rendering in another computer but nothing changed. I attached the image.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIf you model a spere, render it and drop the opacity, so that you can see anything which was inside. And give your 3d model the usual backgroung "The Sun"
The sun will cause a yellow shadow from the spere, is there a way of turning the shadow off for individual objects ?
p.s im using AutoCAD 2010
I have seen some very impressive renderings on this site, and would like to give it a try using Autocad 2010. I have done basic renderings before, well mostly shading, just interested how people are getting renderings that look so realistic in Autocad.

I've seen this issue raised by others with no solution to the problem. Here's what I tried:
-lower render output resolution and size
-make new simpler drawing with no materials (same problem)
-open file in MAC 2011 (same problem)
-reinstall autocad MAC 2012
-copy paste drawing into new file
-verify that default lighting and sun are off
I haven't figured out how to restore 2011 or 2012 settings to default.
I've been using AutoCAD for about eight years now for architectural support in 2D. Lately drawing models for my smaller parts and rendering to get the message across. Problem is rendering. I can never remove the segmenting of arcs and circles even in the highest of setting. Does AutoCAD have fundamental problems with rendering solids? I've used 3rd party programs for rendering also with the same results.
Example of my setting:
Viewres = 20000
Facetres= 10
Whiparc = 1
segments in a polyline curve = 30000
when I was test-rendering a scene where you are supposed to be able to look into nearby rooms through glass walls. But the glass reflected the surroundings like å mirror. In some tries i could barely see some furniture in the other room, so the transparency isn't completely gone.
I use a solid glass material, at first i thought the material's reflection value was too high, but it was set on five, I tried to reduce it to 1, but the rendering came out just the same.
I have tried with different lighting options, but again... the same miserable result.
Translating when rendering only seems to use 1 cpu core and takes 90% of the render time, so having a quad core processor running a view that takes 10 min render only gives me a 5% decrease in time over a dual core...
I don't think you can really call Inventor rendering a multi core app?
i have a problem when rendering 3d objects having arcs. the arc in the rendered photo is not smooth and round !
View 5 Replies View RelatedI draw a three drawer night stand and would like to Render it using pine wood. Ideally I would like to see each part of this cabinet to have "different grain pattern" (in real life there's no two pieces of wood the same). Is this possible? So far my cabinet looks better in "shaded with edges" view than Rendered... Is there a way to edit material (one material) that shows different "patterns" after rendering?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhich software application can I use to create a rendering of an elevation from just 2 dimensional dwg plans and elevations? I was interning in an office where the developer hired a render to develop illustrations of our design. The render said he only required our first floor and second floor plans, and the elevation we wanted rendered. The turn around time was very quick (24 hours). I was surprised as building a model takes me a long time. The cornice was very detailed, it would have taken much longer to build a model.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there no way of reducing the time?. I understand that this process involves solving of differential equations for reflection of light from various materials in the building etc. Can it not be done through Autolisp instead of going through .NET languages. Common Lisp is also a powerful OOP language. If Alisp cannot do it can Autodesk implement CL and cut short the time?.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAs I'm in the final days of my master project the combination of boredom and stress has struck, resulting in me moving to 3d for the first serious time.
What I'm trying to model is a train station based on a 2d design drawing I have already made. Creating small models for objects is not too hard, but for some reason AutoCAD only seems to render a limited area of my drawing, as shown on the attached JPEG.
Restarting AutoCAD solves the problem for a single render, but after that the same issue appears again.
The dwg file can be downloaded from my dropbox
Whenever i add in a background image (clouds in this case), everything that is reflective becomes see through. Is there a setting that can make this go away? It does it with every, single background image that i've ever used. Recently, i've started to just not use them, but i really need to put a background with some of these for a Job Fair for our company. If you see below, the piping (i know it shouldn't be THAT reflective but that's what they want) becomes slightly see through as well as the hand rails and foot boards..
I've attached a second example as well...

I am having trouble with rendering. the materials are not showing when i render it. i have checked the properties of the object under 3D visualization and it shows the material i applied and then i tried also to view it in realistic mode, it shows also the material i used but when i render it, the materials arent there. i was thingking the built in VGA has something to do with this because there are also instances that when i set the view to perspective, objects doesnt show... trying come up with justification so that the management will be pushed to upgrade my unit!

Also, my other problem is when i put on realistic view, i m seeing grey-ish blocks instead of "real" materials. In my previous assignment, I did see the "Real" materials when i set it on realistic view. However i did try to reset to default for my realistic veiw, but still it did not seem to be working.
