I have been trying to use Rhino Lands.. mostly for visuals (and some rendering) and there are 3 things I cannot solve.. any help highly welcome.
Ok. first request.. I like a lot to use the “realistic” or even some new viewstyles based ont “realistic”.. but vegetation shows a “line” frame on the foliage.. and that spoils the screenshots.. Does anybody know a solution to “remove” the frame lines in the foliage
I tried to make my own viewstyle.. kind of rendered.. kind of cartoonish.. with some tweaks.. and I can’t find why I see some “white” frames in the middle of the foliage.. and how to remove these. (I am sharing here also the viewstyle file)
FInally I would like to know if there is a button or some option to “load” the high resolution/quality versions of the vegetation.. the issue is that I understand that RhinoLands only load these when the Render command or when there is a “capturetofile”. But.. the problem I have is when rendering out of rhino (example Bella render that is what I have been trying to incorparte in my workflow).. just to render the scene.. the version of the tree is the low resolution rendered.. and not the high one…
Hi,
“Realistic” display mode is intended to offer a carton-like appearance combined with the materials shown in “Rendered” display mode. So, the black lines are computed for the silhouettes, including the foliage triangles. We should modify its behavior to hide the silhouettes for triangles that uses a textured material with an opacity map, but this must be done programatically, I don’t think you can achieve it by modifying the display mode settings. We’ll do some tests…
The high detailed plants for the rendering are generated just for a few render commands, and they take into account the camera position to generate more detailed geometry for those plants that are closer to the camera. It’s not a good idea to generate them on user request and then let user to move the camera. We support some third party renderers, like Enscape and D5 Render, but not Bella render, right now. We need to test it in order to add its render command. And maybe we could add an option in Lands Design that allows user to customize the commands for which the high quality plants are generated.
Until then, you have the option to set the realistic detail in the viewport to maximum for all species inserted. At maximum detail they look very close to the plants in render commands. You must change them one by one, and keep in mind that this will dramatically increase the RAM consumption while dramatically decreasing the Rhino performance:
If you are able to tweak (or telling me) also the viewstyle “Rendered textured” that I shared, please let me know (I actually don’t understand why the white frames.. as I started there from a rendered viewstyle. that does not show these)
Ok.. about the rendering as high quality. I can use this solution you gave in the meanwhile. I actually find that sometimes I prefer a medium quality.. instead of the highest. For instance. in the video here.. you’ll see that highest quality in vegetation is terrible for REALISTIC viewstyle (so actually I cannot use “capturetofile”) and make a print screen instead.. maybe it would make sense to me to select individual elements of vegetation (maybe only the ones in 1st plane) only for highest quality on some renderings..(just some ideas).
