Rendering

Maybe this is an old thread, i don't know. I would like to know if microstation is interesting in the future in using anothers plugs-in as renderer engines inside the program. Luxology is great and I know we can export the geometry to others softwares but  there are always a lot of issues and it is not very useful if have to update the geometry. I tell this because the other day I discovered Corona renderer and I made some tests.I think it will be very interesting have these kind renderers inside Microstation. I leave here two links if you are interested. The first one is the corona renderer new web and the second one is a blog that I use to learn a lot of things because there are a lot of free models, examples, tutorials and things like that. By the way, the floor generator plug-in is very outstanding. Is that kind of plug-in possible in Microstation?. Thank you.

  • Hi,

    an example to understand:

    was developed the plugin for MR, is stopped at 2.7, is blocked by more than a year, all plugins are passed to MR 3, less than one, guess who?

    I wrote to the NL and I was told that they would be taken into agreements with developers etc, but still nothing.

    It all depends on how many people you ask, this is what it feels like to answer,

    MS obviously to render "professional" and "photorealistic" is not taken into consideration

    I know many people and organizations that are moving away from MS for this reason, and think it would take very little ...

    given the potential

    good luck

  • Hi Alex,

    The plug-in maintainer here.

    With regard to Maxwell Render 3 - the MicroStation plug-in is undergoing a final Beta cycle and will be likely released within a couple of weeks.

    I will surely post here (with Bentley permission) a heads-up note the very moment it happens.

    On the other hand, if you want to contribute to Beta phases of plug-in's development you can apply at Next Limit for the Beta tester status. This will give you access to non-public forums at NL where this stuff is discussed.

    The most important requirement there is that you are really prepared to put some time aside for documenting test-cases which are demonstrating any problem you may find.

    Cheers,
