General CG Discussion / Re: Unreal Engine 4 for ArchViz - Thoughts?

Have you considered the difference?
business/ clients wishes VS personal project

I assumed final fully PBR interactive application with all the details (color & light studies, interactive materials, day to night...) no generic or freebie stuff (rights for commercial redistribution passed to client).
Working hours are 8h per day/ 5-6 days per week, taxes, insurance, accounting, holiday, vacations... and so on.

But don't mind me, just another brick in the wall.

edit...
Oh, nice tackle... National library M~R competition stuff... hope to see your vision.

How do you know? Maybe the whole shot is upside down? ;)

Because of the radiator. It reveals much more than what eyes can see ;)

Hehe, at least that lamp hanging of the ceiling is influenced by some strange force (gravitational?... or just force of habbit;)

Oh... sorry to hear that. Yup, you need at least Bulldozer or newer (http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-AMD-Phenom-II-X4-965-Supports-SSE3-or-SSE4).
Otherwise you can see if your CPU supports the SSE 4.x instructions with "cpu-z" tool: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
e.g.


PS
Hehe, on the bright side, at least previous problem was solved :D

In error report you got stuff in your Downloads folder.
Here you are showing Program files folder.
Although yes, you don't have rights to control those files (ownership) - blocks in Allow column should be checked/ticked.
(or move working/project files to a folder where you are Allowed with Full control)

Read this article and use script attached at the bottom, it should solve the problem.
Add "Take Ownership" to Explorer Right-Click Menu in Windows

Are you an owner of the system? Do you have full administrative rights set to read&write on locations where files reside?
Can you disable User Account Control and try again.

Second... are files to specified paths for Corona to use them?
You could then check if rendering works from command line.

2k?
Oh, you'd be torturing yourself :D
Consider: Interactive application for a residential building project (cc 500m²), all done from scratch or using bought asset (no redistributing assets allowed, they must buy to own) a team of 5 and 3 months of work... at least €15k. Is it expensive?


In such case i suggest a client to buy Lumion and make visuals themselves, even though it's just for animations. Haven't seen a single one do it. 
Don't understand what kind of architects are those. If they don't know how to be equals, if they don't listen, how can they understand the occupants and life of a built architecture?
Vitruvio is sad. :( They should just be called planners :)

It's hard though slowly... students and lectors are seeing advantages in process of forming, massing, quantification and verification of a building as a whole entity within it's environment (once model is blocked, it's much easier to do all kinds of detailing, simulations, modifications and stress tests). And i concur with an old school approach as it's still necessary in conceptual design development.
It is why i am pushing this subject to be a part of artistic curriculum in primary schools. Kids from age of 12 should get at least acquainted with... after that age (puberty threshold), with every extra year it's getting harder to be open and susceptible for methods and techniques involved in any form of creativity (lazy senses - eyes, ears, smell, taste, feel... ppl just wanna get pleased without effort, hedonism).

Have you also saved your file and set output path before rendering? Can you share your scene or test the attached scene.

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Re: Corona for Cinema 4D bug: Atom Array with Single Elements enabled + Displacement

« on: 2016-02-29, 11:36:36 »

No need to be polite because of me. An ass is an ass, even if it wears a tie ;)

Thanks for being honest and pointing out the details.

Single Elements

This option only matters when you make the Atom Array object editable (press the C key or choose Mesh / Conversion / Make Editable).

    If the option is enabled, each sphere and cylinder becomes a separate parametric object.
    If the option is disabled, a single editable object is created.

Also tested with other engines. Bug with Corona confirmed.
You can take it to Mantis and make a report.

cheerio

Pump and blow :D

Agree with you on all points.

Personally i think the basics should already be taught in primary schools. It's like writing. Kids play, watch... but rare are those who know what they play with, and even rarer are those who create. Kids are intrigued, would love to be involved but parents have no interest to teach or pay for extra curriculum... responsibilities are then left for institutions to solve... WTF?
And an arrogance from the ignorant, that all this is an easy work to do. Ahh... am slowly loosing will to strive on.
Miscommunication & deaf system it is.

No bug... just inexperienced user.
You need a driving license just to join traffic with a car and years of experience to race with Koenigsegg on a track.

Crash is caused by applying displacement material on procedural modifier... put it on an object! Add Light! Render.


corrected - my fault

- sun light is infinite/parallel - so must be shadows, yet shadows are in line with perspective, toward the sun on horizon


learn to do it right

No shit, must be a bug in nature...

Damned - i got a bug :D Those shadows are in parallel... as stated above, depends on lenses (wide), POV... Visually feels much more distorted as if sun is only as far as "the end of the earth" is and not farther.
Keep me smiling, thanks.

oooh... look at those shadows...
- road fence is casting shadow over wheels, yet wheels cast another darker shadow as if another emitter is between fence and a wheel / or a sun lamp has an offset from the sun (as observed under the car)
- sun light is infinite/parallel - so must be shadows, yet shadows are in line with perspective, toward the sun on horizon / idiotic statement; shadows are correct within perspective - remember own mistakes!!!

learned to correct myself
