[Max] General Discussion / Re: Quick question - your thoughts on ArchiCAD integration
« on: 2018-08-13, 10:58:45 »Hi all!
You may remember in our last blog post we mentioned testing integration with some CAD software - here at Total Chaos we just showed the first results of testing integrating Corona into ArchiCAD (can't share the video here, but it was very rudimentary initial testing so you aren't missing out on much ;) ).
So now we would welcome your comments and thoughts:
*Is it software you'd be interested in seeing Corona integrated into?
*What features of Corona would you like to see there?
*Do you have other CAD software that you think would be a better fit or has more need of Corona?
Everything is just early testing, so don't get excited one way or the other :)
But we would like to hear your thoughts before we do anything more than these early tests.
Thanks!
Tom
+1 for an Archicad Integration. This would be awesome. As an Archicad User since Version 5.0 (22 now) and longtime Max/Vray/Corona user this opens up new possibilities. Would be interesting though in what manner you could integrate a proper light and material system, if that is even possible or how the integration would work in general?
As architects that also visualize we would really love to have this integration, at least for simple everyday work images without to much hassle of dealing with multiple programs. As the workflow from Archicad to Max is a bit painful and material replacement too, i also second the wish for a cool import/export/translation tool. Marc Lorenz's plugin helped for that, but it is all nowhere near the integration Archicad has for example to Rhino or Cinema 4d (it reads an writes those file formats native).
Cheers,
Chris.
