Chess and Glenfiddich

Good day Alan…thanks for responding. I am an Architect in the US…been using Sketchup as primary design tool for 10 years…stepped it up over last year or so to integrate SU design with enhanced images for client presentation and export/interface with AutoCAD for documents. I’m old school and prefer SketchUp integrated with AutoCAD vs. pure REVIT…as SU is more flexible and quicker for providing up-front multiple solutions. Nonetheless…I have been using Twilight Render (again…quick)…but interested in brighter3D. Have you had experience with Twilight Render (or other rendering engines) in addition to brighter3D…as I am most interested in quick visual turnarounds and not post production quality renderings? Also…interested in your input on HDRI skies and backgrounds. I have attached some images rendered in Twilight (most are in the 5 minute rendering time range). Twilight is an easy to use interface…but lacks in tutorials…so I’m not sure I’m using full capabilities. Your thoughts? Jeffery P. Slusarick, RA, NCARB Phone: 412.738.4616Email: jpslusarick@yahoo.com
