Hello,
Many thanks for your replies, I was using the settings to set the door parts, in the end I did get door frames though no glass reflections so it looks like they are just empty. I have been working on a 3D view of a garden and a walk through animation, so trying to get it to look as realistic as possible. The file was quite large, despite having the house on a separate layer. I'm wondering if my laptop is the problem it's a Lenovo G510 core i7,a few years old, or should I reload the VWorks program? I presently have VWorks 17, so it's not that old or outdated.
As well as not getting any reflections on the glass, I found I would loose the stone pattern of the terrace and the water image when trying to render in Final Quality renderworks, it renderred paving as a flat light blue surface, so had to give up trying with Final Quality renderworks and just use open GLto render, not ideal, (this also happened on a smaller 3D view drawing). The roof command didn't work either, even on a separate layer, so I drew it on another drawing and tried to copy and paste it in. As well as the rendering issues the file was crashing continually. Consequently the amount of time taken to produce the 3D drawing & animation can't be charged for.
If I need to invest in a machine with a more powerful graphics card, to try to help these problems, what spec should ideally go for, which will work for large files of 3D work and animation? Would something with vram 4 gig or 8 gig vram be best? Any help would be great.
Many Thanks,
Diana
