Is it possible to create something like the look of radial brushed metal with CADRays?
Sorry, it is not supported right now. Anisotropic effects like these require some built-in UV parametrization tools to be configurable and useful.

Re: Photo-realistic rendering of FreeCAD models with CADRays

Thanks, now i understand better. I am more used to POV-Ray and Kerkythea. There you have based on your settings a definite computing time and then a window pops up (eventually a sound as well) telling you that the computing is finished. Without some sort of progress indicator it is very hard to tel...

Re: Photo-realistic rendering of FreeCAD models with CADRays

Generally, if possible, you need to use light sources instead of emissive materials to decrease noise. Also, large (smooth) light sources are better than small ones. Eventually, the noise will be gone, but it may take a significant amount of time in complex lighting conditions (powerful GPU will hel...

Re: Photo-realistic rendering of FreeCAD models with CADRays

these are some preliminary renders of parts of a 3d printer I'm designing. They look great. Could you eloborate more on what settings you used to achieve such noiseless clear picture (a lot of my attempts still look a bit "grainy" ...) Thanks Roland Could you please post the exported scen...

Please find our new video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu_dMMQAhd0! It shows model decomposition and some basic material editing.

Re: Photo-realistic rendering of FreeCAD models with CADRays

Hi. Another thing that came to my mind (haven't tested yet). Is there a possibilty to append files in CADRays ? If i am correct, at the Moment the only option is to do all changes (removing/adding of objects) to the assembly in the CAD-System and then do another export ? Roland Every import will ap...

8.) Wanted: camera control, definition of viewpoint and looking direction Also please take a look at vcamera and vviewparams commands. The commands are mostly the same as for OCCT DRAW application: https://www.opencascade.com/doc/occt-7.0.0/overview/html/occt_user_guides__test_harness.html although...

Re: Photo-realistic rendering of FreeCAD models with CADRays

Hi! After a few minutes of me playing around, my computer slowed down to become absolutely unusable, across the whole system. CPU usage was low, so I assume that graphics card may have been swamped with data or processing, or maybe it simply overheated.... I don't know. Closing CADRays brought it ba...

Re: Photo-realistic rendering of FreeCAD models with CADRays

This is really exciting! But what a bummer that the Linux version is not out yet. :( (Many of us FreeCAD users are on Linux) CADRays is basically ported on Linux, it just lack some polish :) . So release of Linux version will definitely happen in near future. So that's in real time like Luxion KeyS...
