Just playing with the new Vue Render engine in the latest Update - well done to the Viz team, this looks very promising.
Looks Like I am going to have to learn some new workflows...
Regards
Robert
PS Yes I still enjoy what Luxology is able to do. ;-)
Hi Robert,
Yes please test out the Vue render engine in Microstation and give us your feedback. We want as many people as possible to be pushing the render button.
If you want any further features added please submit them to the Microstation ideas forum and I would encourage everyone to vote them up to the top of the list.
Thanks
Paul
Hi Paul,
I have not fully read all the documentation, but a workflow document/video would do wonders for adoption.
Often when training/assisting users I have found they have adopted poor workflows, and unintentionally hobble what the Bentley tool can actually do for them because they are treating the tool like its some other software they are already familiar with.
Has there been a SIG focussing on this particular interface?
I agree 100%, Jerry is working on youtube videos to present workflows and usage of the new render dialog. They will be either posted in this forum or in a blog. We did demonstrate some of the features in a SIG some time ago, but a lot has changed since then.
Cool. - Yes the NPR and relighting is new from the version I last saw.Is there an NPR style editor?Is there foundational documentation from Vue (I really benefitted from reading/understanding Modo's documentation over and above the Bentley info)Are there particular settings in editing materials that are optimised for this engine?Do Ambient and Flashbulb participate as lighting (in Luxology they did not)Is Skydome a thing if we have an entire environment editor?
It may be worth separating out each engines specific settings in to separate dialogs, or at least disabling them in the current interface depending on which engine is selected for. Again, I have seen users pushing ambient through the roof, trying to brighten a luxology render. Too many options not enough filtering.
Here is link to my YouTube channel I posted a couple of videos already one on relighting and the other on NPR hope this helps.
I will be posting more in the coming days ... stay tuned.
Jerry
