DESCRIPTION
WORKFLOWTRANSCRIPT
due next wednesday• 35” print (x 200 ppi = 7000 pixels)• aspect ratio: default, or whatever• photoshopping ok
wouldn’t it be great?• Signage • Service counter • Dog play area with screen or fence • Dog bowl• Custom decorative light fixture • Standard lighting • At least one custom material • Seating for humans and dogs• Crown molding and base with profile
WORKFLOW
file management• backup entire directory• using desktops
set project folder
Revit files• File Link Manager
select view and import preset
model• objects are editable meshes• only change materials in Max• “bind” model to edit geometry in
Max (severs link)
reloading model
materials• Multi/sub-object• naming scheme by
layers• updated Revit
geometry, but not materials
SketchUp files• import– no sun– double-sided materials
grouping• groups and components become
separate editable meshes• “group” in Max for convenience
materials• multi/sub-object• Arch & Design
standard• Often with
Bitmaps wired in (saved in scene assets folder)
• “default” is usually inside of objects
MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES
missing maps?
walls already polygons?• use rectangles to cut openings• convert wall to Proboolean
daylighting• mr Sun: direct light from the sun• mr Sky: indirect, scattered light from
the sky • mr Physical Sky: appearance of of the
sky dome
add daylight system
• click three times to place target and sun
dim mr Sun and mr Sky• experiment, but a low
number works best
mr Physical Sky• dim in material properties• or, replace with an image-
based material
USING THE FARM
net render• uses remote machines• best for animations• there are 80 machines currently• generally overnight
step 1: link to shared folderSearch: “run”Type \\10.20.20.7\Render Files
drag backburner folder to your desktop• in needed, Login name should be
“eclabs\backburner“• the password is “render”
step 2: specify output file
file location• double-click on the farm link• make folder for yourself• name file• specity file type
step 3: check Net Render
step 4: click Renderon 2013, find sub-menu on Render Setup
step 5: connect to server
10.20.20.7
step 6: enable notifications
put in your email address
step 7: submit
step 8: submit, and wait• single rendering may be slower than
your computer• you’ll get an email when it’s done (or
failed)
