"My laptop fan sometimes gets really loud when rendering also, but I've had the computer overheat.
IRender nXt just uses the CPU, so the computer has to try to keep it cool during processing.
It might help keep things cool if you set…"

Shadows and HDRi
2 Replies
How do you control shadows when you use the HDRi sky + Background preset? When I use it, either the shadows are gone, or at some other angle than in the SketchUp file.Continue

I was watching an old video tutorial on materials for iRender. The tutorial is from 2010 and references a ‘Material Library’ button that will access the nXt libraries. My version of the software…Continue

Computer Equipment Question
My computer fan’s speed increases when I start a rendering. About halfway through the rendering however, it increases dramatically to the point that it is so loud I feel like it is overloading the system to the point that I cancel out of the rendering. I’m on an HP system with a 2.50 GHz Intel Quad Core CPU with 8G ram. Is the issue purely related to the processor?See More
Rich Hart replied to Phil's discussion HDRi Image Renderings
"The rendering window always stretches or shrinks the rendering to the size of the rendering window, so you can see the whole image display as it's rendering.
You can then use this button to toggle between the the resized view or the actual 1:1…"

"Thanks Rich. My problem was that when I select the HDRi sky + background setting, the ‘Sky’ setting is off. Once I click it, the shadows appear.
I have noticed however that the settings for my Render Image Size don’t seem to…"

"Try downloading and using an HDRi image from this page that has the type of shadows that you like.

HDRi Image Renderings
Shadows appear very pronounced in the examples of renderings and video tutorials I have been looking at using HDRi images, but whenever I try to render using HDRi, the shadows are very muted and the renderings seem dark and gloomy. Any thoughts on what settings I need to look at?See More
Rich Hart replied to Phil's discussion Materials Libraries
"The HDRi that you can set in the HDRi tab is a spherical HDRi sky that is mainly used for lighting. It also can appear as the background for the rendering, but unless you have downloaded and selected a very high resolution HDRi file to use, they do…"

"One more quick question please. Where is the proper place to indicate the HDR background in Setup Options: under 'HDRi', or 'Bgnd'?"
Phil replied to Phil's discussion Materials Libraries
"Thank you! Found them and successfully loaded them."
Rich Hart replied to Phil's discussion Shadows and HDRi
"An HDRI sky will have it's own location for the sun (if it has a sun). You would need to rotate the HDRi sky until the shadows line up with what you see in SketchUp. We don't have a tool to try to automatically rotate the HDRi sky for you,…"

"Try going to our downloads page:

and downloading and running the install for the libraries.
Look for:
Then restart SketchUp and see if they show up on that dialog."
Rich Hart replied to Phil's discussion Nightime Render
"There is a setting for making the light from artificial lights more visible for cases like this, where the Sun or Sky is overpowering the interior lamps.
There is no magic number that applies to all cases, you just need to play with it to see if…"
Phil replied to Phil's discussion Nightime Render
"I have added lights to my test model for an interior rendering, but when I select Interior With Sun, the lights do not render. They do render when I select Interior No Sun. I would like to have the light from the exterior show thru the windows, but…"
