Stewart Reid Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hello, I'm new to this forum and was wondering if anyone might be able to help me. I have attached a 3d house rendering drawn using Turbocad v10 and Photoshop Elements. The problem I am having is being able to achieve a good drydash (roughcast) effect. As you can see the biege r'cast on my model appears too smooth. Ideally, I would like to achieve something like Roughcast B (attached) which I spotted recently in a sales brochure. Can anyone suggest a good texture or a way of achieving this specific effect. Thankyou in advance. Also, some of the 3d designs/renderings on this website are amazing. I would be most grateful for any advice on improving my house rendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Alexander Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Have you tried the IMSI TurboCad forums? WDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dp Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 i know nothing about roughcast but you need to get the kerb in the wide shot down to at least 100mm and more like 75-50mm if this is a culdesac etc also you might want to add a bellcast housunf at bottom of the roughcast the little details are the ones that add up but looking overall you've got the handle on how to treat a generic uk garden planting scheme main problem seems to be the turbocads lack of bump mapping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hi Stewart, Welcome to the forum. The way to do it if you've no bump facility is to use a procedural texture in the colour channel that's not too different from the main colour. This'll give a bit of variation. It's never going to look very realistic without bump though. That's why we call it 'rough'cast up here. This is a previous discussion on roughcast: http://www.cgarchitect.com/vb/showthread.php?t=5981&page=1&pp=10&highlight=rachel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Reid Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Have you tried the IMSI TurboCad forums? WDA No, I've not tried the TC FORUM yet. It is a great forum but I just thought this forum might be more specific to architectural rendering. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Reid Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hi Iain, Thanks for the advice. I'll have a look at the thread. TC does have a bump map feature but I have already spent ages trying to get the desired effect but with no success. SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
