Crash to Desktop when attempt to render

[Rob Ainscough]

I stand corrected for CPU core utilization, they are ALL being used on render, apologies for mistake:



I want to love this product, it does some very nice things but also very lacking in other areas.  I've been in contact with sales person Todd who has been helpful, but the upgrade cost seems rather excessive for 2024 product after buy the 2022 version only a few months ago ... I'm just not see a huge amount of development from 2022 to 2024?  For example is there any way to identify what FX have been applied in the 2024 version?

Or am I missing something?

Yes, several things.

Please, check User Guide - Page 502

Not sure what is on your page 502, but mine is about Constructing Wall Templates?

Try page 475

As the User Guide is a PDF, you can use the Search Tool (see image attached)

Page 475 describes the same process I described earlier ... there is no way for me to know that I have placed a Light Emmissive effect unless I render it ... that's my point.  I have to "guess" where all my FX are as there is NO 2D identification they been applied to a 3D object.

Learn all the uses and possibilities of the Find Applied Tool, including 3D Emissions.

These topics are explained much better in the User's Guide, so it is kind of pointless to retype all here.

[Rob Ainscough]

The Find Applied Tool doesn't work for Light Emissions, only colors/materials.

I have gone thru the User's Guide.

The Find Applied Tool doesn't work for Light Emissions, only colors/materials.

Yes, it does (for several elements)

Find Applied + Space bar (for 3D effects)

[Rob Ainscough]

Thanks Patricia.  Didn't know about the space bar. 

I know had many questions, but I do appreciate your help and patience while I work thru this.  I did go ahead and buy 2024 Pro with Custom Workshop, LuxCore, and several content packs.  I'll be giving the IMSI folks a 5 star review.

Rob.
