1eo Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 BTW, is VIZ and VIZ Render two different things? I have VIZ Render 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eo Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 I think got it! Link to "VIZ Render" does the trick! However, Is VIZ render a light version of VIZ? I think I'm missing a lot of little options that I rember seeing in MAX or a version of VIZ that I saw once at a friends house? Is it possible to install the Maxwell plugging in it? (I do know maxwell) Regards, Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abicalho Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hello Leo, VIZ reads and writes DWG natively. If you do a search for Architectural Desktop or DWG in the VIZ Help you'll find your answer promptly with a ton of options explaining what, how and where to do it. VIZ Render does not have Maxwell.

Tim Saunders Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 viz render is a way way way scaled down version of viz and really sucks to render with. i f you are really wanting to import the model into viz (actual viz) just open up viz, click file, import and find the file and select the layers. you don't want to import the whole thing because desktop creates a billion layers, and it may crash viz. just import what you need. go to perspective view and it should all be there.

Aggie'07 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Another option is to use the file link manager function found under 'file'. If my understanding is correct, it is a much beter way of importing from auto cad. Somtimes information gets lost if you use the import function. Within the File Link manager you can choose to group your objects in a variety of ways; by layer, entity, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAYMOND Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 yes agree with file link in viz... i model everything in ADT... and it links into viz great... there are a host of setting that give you a lot of control the only thing I import are Onyx trees have vizrender but don't use it... once you use Viz you don't want to go back Viz also is scale down of 3dmax.. of which i hope upscale to.

Island J Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I agree, file linking to Autodesk VIZ (not VIZrender) works really well for me. I tried VIZrender once and was very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecastillor Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I agree, file linking to Autodesk VIZ (not VIZrender) works really well for me. I tried VIZrender once and was very disappointed. this is the way to go....specially if the project is due to suffer changes....you change in acad...and just hit reload, and the changes are there....it keeps materials, uv mappings, etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
