Restore Settings

Good morning. I've recently modified a sketchup model that I rendered some months ago. Now when I render it, the settings are not the same and rendered image doesn't look as good as it once did. Is there a way to retrieve the settings that were made from the original rendering? I still have the original sketchup file.

Thanks,

Ron

We store the settings in the .JPG you save after rendering.

If you have a .JPG of an old rendering, and .JPG of the current rendering

(saved from IRenderBatch - not from a image editing program)

send them to us at support.renderplus.com and we can see what has changed.

Also, if you have the original sketchup file, send that and the current file to us so we can compare the settings.

I don't have the original .jpg's from the rendering output. The orignal sketchup file irender settings are not the same as they were. It seemed like the settings used to stay with the sketchup file, but they seemed to be lost now. I get a strange hdri image in the background and image scale is very small.

I guess I can just try to make adjustments on my own

Most setting are saved with the .SKP file - but only if you save the file after rendering.

If you have an old version of the file, send it to us and also a JPG of the renderings you are getting now and an idea of what you think has changed.

Also note: some things like background images and HDRI files are not stored in the SKP file, so may not be available when you are rendering. Or, if they have changed on you disk, we will be grabbing the new ones.

Also note: The latest versions of IRender nXt made some changes in the relative intensity of lights. Could what you are seeing be due to the relative intensity of lights. (and/or have you downloaded a recent version)

If you send us an old version of the .SKP we may be able to determine what version of IRender nXt you were using to render with and see if we can use that to see what might have changed.
