Thanks Paolo, also you should know that those are my projects as i`m an architect , and the videos are a one man effort . I cut a lot of corners for those and with a bit more effort and a bit more time the results could be better. If you are doing archviz as the main line of work it could be a different story. The main advantage for Blender and i repeat that... is stability with huge, i mean really complex scenes .....i was amazed of how things are much easier in Blender from that point of view than in Max Also the installer is 180-200 mb so the program is light it works even if you don`t wanna instal just copy it. I`ve also used a few time max since mainly to open and save old scenes and it seems the same for me . Cheers Sorin

Well i do:) To give a short answer :Yes I useit in the past 6 years with very good results: It has very good : a)Stability with large scenes and in general (almost 0 crashes) b)decent viewport performance c) a great render engine :Cycles d)great modeling tools e)costs no money f)imports dxf from Autocad software and more here`s a link to some animations i made with it https://vimeo.com/user34876443/videos regards Sorin

hello uhofmann, nice try though from an architectural point of view your design is at least questionable,and from a visualization point of view you have a lot to improve. your ancestors who build those ``unused`` churches may have some ethical questions about a spa in the church.....and God...well God doesn`t seems to be in your equation....neither as a solution, neither as a term....kinda sad some might say. Are you an architect?just out of curiosity.... cheers

Ne sutor ultra crepidam! sad but true

yes you should learn them.......

sad to say , but becoming your own boss , is the only 100 percent safe solution. DIXIT

yes i`ve tried that already with no efect, scalling up (a lot)the model helped though thanks for your reply

hi people , i`m in serious trouble here, i`m using a camera attached via a path constraint to a spline, for a walktrough animation... about 1500 frames and my problem is that i keep in having some hand held movement at a high frequency like a shatter over the camera` s motion, not quite a smooth movement as intended firs thought was to subdivide the path.....no effect (all of vertices are bezier ) here is a screen shot with the spline and the camera in red is the actual trajectory....wich is not wanted ...i want my smooth one so i`m out of ideas , and time ....... thank you

it has a specific vray look imho

photoshop:) if it`s burning like you said:cool:

huh?? i don`t see your point here.... it`s you the designer for that structure? or you did the rendering wich IMHO needs load of improvements or maybe it`s some blog , inside cg architect..

maybe is not the case to use francesca`s shaders ,, though are great:D http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=7684178 watch the mental ray video....

hi nisus http://www.lamrug.org/resources/chardiags.html best regards sorin

then Large BSP to render

as a rule of thumb this extremely scene dependent. and it`s a trade -off between rendering time and memory consumption. increasing depth can increase memory consumptions but a scene with a lot of geometry coherence and intensive ray tracing can benefit from that. 60 for example for a large dense scene can speed up things considerably on the other hand for the diagnostic a fast visual guideline is to change the values for depth and size til you optain an even mix between the two colors *red and green* it is frustating i know to tune BSP tree, best regards Sorin
