It essentially shows you how to hide the edges of imported geometry (such as from Sketchup), so that when it imports into Revit, you only see the shaded surfaces – not the ugly triangulated surface edges.
This is a great post / video from pedroeron on RFO. The real advantage of this is that it allows designers, owners and stakeholders to access and visualize a building model in real-time to fully understand the scale, feel and experience of the building before construction starts.Īutodesk Stingray Real-Time Engine Takes Design Visualization to a New Level for AEC Industry Uncategorized Autodesk 3ds Max Design, realtime, rendering, showcase, stingray No Comments Now, with the Stingray engine, Revit models can be brought into 3ds Max to be made visually stunning and then imported to the Stingray engine to be made fully interactive, allowing users to explore “what if” design changes in a compelling visual environment not unlike a first person walk-about in a physical building. It’s a workflow that’s been widely accepted in the AEC industry and plays an integral part in the design process.
Building designers using Autodesk Revit software have had the ability to easily import models into 3ds Max to create stunning, photo-real images and animations to communicate design intent.
