ADT Viz Renderer

[STRAT]

Does anyone use the Viz Renderer that comes with ADT? only i could do with some advice

I tried it once and hated it....Well maybe I could learn to like it if I was continually applying materials to my objects in ADT, but I still prefer the UI of Viz. I guess what I had a hard time with was the new system they introduced for materials.

now we own several seats of ADT with the Viz renderer and it occured to me why not use that? i mean, the files dont need to be modified or shared, just materialed, lit and rendered.

Hi Strat

I did some renders for a project last year using only ADT and Viz. http://www.cgarchitect.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2196

About to try similar things with the ADT 5 Viz Render. Found materials interesting to work with using the AutoCAD material editor to start with and embedding these into the object styles? Bit cumbersome

 

Cheers

I use it currently (Viz renderADT 5 ), not terribly happy with it, but it's integration with ADT 2005 is pretty seamless. But that damn i-drop matlib lacks the flexibility of other programs ie. 3dsmax, maya, etc. I wouldn't be supprised if AutoDesk gets rid of the standalone Viz 2005, and develops only for viz render.
