zoomer Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 In 3D Apps like C4D every geometry exists of Faces (Polygons) only. There it is easy to sub-select any of these and give them any separate Material. Thank God in VW are (at least some) Volumes in Modeling and Wireframe Modus exists as a valid and important Screen View to control Architectural Geometries. I think there isn't much more distracting from Architecture than any triangulation or needed support edges to create holes in Faces or Volumes. I don't ask for the complete C4D Feature set in VW Rendering or Material Settings. Of course anything needed for creating basic physical based Materials (PBR) (Layered : Diffuse Reflection, Specular Reflexion, Refraction (and maybe SSS), with real IOR Fresnels) or 2P Perspectives should be in an Architectural App. But I would like to see these material features already in VW to be rearranged and expanded, similar to Archicad, and not so hidden inside (other) channels.

Kizza Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) With this release, I think our move to Archicad is now unstoppable. We're done with manually updating viewports, worksheets and site models, amongst other things. Edited May 19, 2016 by Kizza Quote Link to comment
Tom Klaber Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 They also have a nice website... Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The cherries in neighbors garden are always sweeter My experience is that when you switch, it is likely that not all problems will disappear and even new ones may appear. Or you will miss some of the things you were used to have for granted. It is very individual which packages fits best for own needs. I never regret my switch to OS X though, which meant the loss of one wonderful piece of CAD software but led to a wonderful 3D package. Archicad would be a bit too architecture only oriented for my personal purposes. But may be much better for your purposes. If there would not be the amount of little things in VW basic toolset, no one beside me seems to be much interested in, which multiply to real issues at the end and kill my productivity. VW could be really cool and 100% kind of my App. So for now it is a tightrope walk and I also look whats left and right. And every new VW release will be more important and show if VW's and my path are really compatible enough. Quote Link to comment
