This has been an interesting discussion.

As I said in a thread regarding it: "I think we need to allow post processed images, and encourage them, but you might include a comment that it included post processing so that people will know that the image includes features which are not native to the rendering package."

So - all readers - go ahead and add post-processed images to our gallery. Just add a not that you have used some post processing, so other users and potential users will not feel that they have been misled.

To EliBjr and Al. The comments on post processing are well understood. I hope that I haven't offended Al or anyone else. Prior to my retirement, I created several courses at the SUNY college, FIt in NY, where I was a full professor in the Interior Design department. My goal with the students was to produce the best visual communication of a design statement. To often, students would would defend their renderings with statements like, " I did it with this great software, so it has to be good.
It goes without further comment, the current version of Irender nXt is fabulous, and, if my comments and/or post processed views lead to improved software revs, Al and Rich are communicating well and doing a great job. I guess I should have realized that this is not the forum for post processing. If I could further be helpful, I would love to hear from anyone. Thanks RL.

"Any more development on that material preview inside sketchup that Rich was working on before you guys moved? "

I'll move that question to the main forum to remind us about it.

Wow! Al that would be awesome! I suggested that a few months ago before the new website And I think in addition to the "saturation" and "brightness" bar, there should be a "contrast" slider in the Image adjustment window Then I could get the results like above without saving the image as a jpg first. I can"t wait! Any more development on that material preview inside sketchup that Rich was working on before you guys moved?

I appreciate your comments, EliBjr.

However, we are about to add a new "tweak", which will let you adjust the color of a material, by clicking on a pixel which is rendered with that material, and using RGB sliders to adjust all pixels from the same material. This will not adjust reflected light from the material, nor reflection from the material.

But we think if will have great use for some materials - especially fabric colors when rendering furniture layouts. And if you want the reflection effects, you can then change the material for real and re-render. I'll report more on this when it is working.

However, if there are some simple tweaks which we could add to IRender nXt for post processing, then we could add them and then, fairly, submit images which were not post processed with other software packages. I'll take a look at a basic contrast filter, and you may want to add some other ideas. (I'll start a thread on this issue so we can discuss it somewhere besides as comments to an image.)

Hi Ronald,
I see you have changed the contrast on the image. It looks pretty good. The reason why I did not do this is three fold. 1. All images I will ever post on this site will be pure with no post processing. This way, whenever any one sees an image from our office using this software they know that, out of the box, they too can produce similar images with this software without needing additional software. 2. Because of this, not all of the images are the final images.. and most of these images were used by permission from the company I work for, so only the pure images are shown here. 3. I like your rendition of this image and I am honored, however "In my opinon" I leave the image as they are to promoste the use and the power of the software... not necessarily to put up pretty pictures... I am working on a completly diffent site for that. I truly appreciate your interst in the images. For additional tweeks please send them to mailto:elibjr@aim.com or mailto:ebell@murrayassoc.com.
