Twinmotion/Datasmith materials issue with flipped/mirrored objects
Dave Donley replied to Enzo's question in Troubleshooting
When exported to Datasmith we mark materials double-sided, it sounds like the collapse by material doesn't work with double-sided materials. -
If the seating layout is using symbols for each seat you could modify the seat symbol and add a 3D polygon for outline of someone's head and shoulders, maybe give it a class so you can turn the outline off.

Hello @salukitd if you are using the create bitmap object button the bitmap object should have fill set to None and the alpha channel set. If you are saving to file then re-importing, make sure on import to choose PNG and alpha channel and set fill on the bitmap object to None so it draws with alpha instead of opaque.

This recent coffee break video does a great job of showing how you might use the AI Visualizer in your workflows, take a look! https://university.vectorworks.net/mod/overview/view.php?id=7836

Hello @grant_PD the AI will need some edges of people silhouettes to work from. These can be rough and you can use the AI Visualizer to generate image props with alpha channel to get some people in the seats.

We absolutely do not hoover up your data to use for later, in any way. The text and images you send to Vectorworks Cloud Services are used to generate the image and are then deleted. We are not using your data to custom train the model.

Indeed here it is: https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/forum/253-ai-visualizer/

Hello @Landartma just a note that the AI Visualizer in Vectorworks 2025 Update 2 has alpha channel support and this is specifically to make it easier to generate image props with alpha channel. It can sometimes be a fight to get the image generation to give you specific views of plants, this is an area we are interested in improving because it makes so much sense for our users. https://youtu.be/XLs9QhMVBkU

When stuck you may try right-clicking and choosing "reload" from the menu. Vectorworks 2025 Update 2 doesn't require the Vectorworks Cloud Services desktop application to login the AI Visualiazer anymore. If the network or login is lost during use the AI Visualizer could show this behavior. We are working to reuse the existing Vectorworks signin from your main window which should help avoid these problems further.

There is a known bug where if the prompt has a \ in it that can cause recall to get stuck sometimes. I remember we had a prompt I think from you where there was a umlaut or other character that showed this bug.
-
@fips Ancient thread, but what does the import image dialog look like when you import the image? You should get an alpha channel option if this file has one.
-
The login process for AI Visualizer will have to be changed and this may happen in the next Update, will post then when the login is changed. For now you need to use the email/password login instead of social. Apologies for the inconvenient workflow.

How to make "glass" less reflective? (Renderworks)
Dave Donley replied to line-weight's topic in Rendering
For "architectural" glass and rendering people often set index of refraction to 1.0 even though this is not strictly accurate. This might affect the reflections. Also what about using glass reflection instead of plastic? -
Hi @grant_PD roughness maps and more maps for textures is on our radar for future improvement.

Metallic and other reflectivity shaders have clear coat as an option, if you set the clear coat to non-zero we do the layering of the texture for you "under the hood" Here is my attempt at a nice metallic light blue car paint. Metallic Car Paint.vwx
