We have the ability to have reflections in mirrors now, but not a good way of automaticaly having reflections in other materials, like appliances/water in pools.

However, I still prefer using the shiny metal materials we gathered in an earlier thread on how to do this (calibz of metal materials attached). The Formica bonus catalog has some shiny metal materials, and Home Designer also released another bonus catalog of metal materials. In particular, appliances and other stuff using metal materials generally looks better using shiny metals. Customize your materials instead of leaving them at the defaults.Then, use 3D> Camera View Options> Final View with Shadows.Island Kitchen sample plan example, just standard normal rendering.
Get your camera view's height and angle set up the way you want.

Make sure your video card meets the System Requirements and is using the most up to date driver compatible with your operating system.I know that David and a few others told me to just play with adjustments but I am a little lost.ĭoes anyone have tips for render quality? Can I export render to a freeware type rendering program? Best way to pre-set the lighting?ĮDIT: When I get home tonight - I will attach a file that I am working on - I just happened to find a kitchen in one of the downloadable examples of the site and converted some of the features over just as a quick test of a few things, but when I do a render, it does not look near as good as the rest I have seen. I know for some that might be a stupid question or a want with a program that wasn't designed with the quality renders like in X8 but I have seem some of the renders better than mine.

I am really struggling for some reason figuring out the controls - I read the manual and I know I am probably missing it somewhere but for example, I wanted to change it to night and light the kitchen up but I can't seem to figure out how. What I am curious of, has anyone figured out a way to improve the lighting and photorealistic aspect of the renderings in the Home Designer line? They almost look raytraced, like what you get out of Chief X8, however I can't afford the Pro Version and I am stuck with HD, I did some digging and found the renderings I found were done by external light rendering programs or what I think is the case. But have not found a definite answer or someone that will prove that it's done in HD with exported cleaned up renderings. Vastly better than the quality I have seen or have done myself. So as I was digging I come upon (Home Designer Renderings) that were really incredible. I love it, even though in my mind I still stink at it, my girlfriend and friends and family say they look really decent.

The reason I am asking is because I did some hunting of sorts and looking at different qualities of rendering for both Chief X8 and HD PRO 17 (the latter of which, is what I am using). I am currently working on one personal project and one for a friend of mine. I am doing one room at a time and when I make a mistake, I work to find a solution and figure it out. I am getting better, still not there but getting there. What I am wanting to do is improve the renderings and or quality of the render. I have a question, I know it's probably in one way or another been answered and I remember I asked it at one point and got a few varying answers.
