CGarchitect.com - View Single Post - Newbie Question: Is this image difficult to create?

hi There

JAVB,

The amount of Time remaining to finish This
would depend upon your level of experience,

more with VIZ than Autocad.

the rest of the modeling That you need to do
should Take only hours, then FileLink into VIZ

and then add Materials, Landscaping and then of course

the Rendering. This is the major TimeSink

i used to Think that The Modeling was the most Time consuming, now i know That adding Materials and Then tweaking the Image by rendering

(over and over again till it really looks good)
is what Takes up The Most amount of Time

it depends upon your expectations as to the Level of detail and realism

my 1st VIZ projects took 4x (or longer) than the Time it Takes me to do The Same Thing now, as you do more projects you will be able to shorten the Learning Curves.

maybe hours for one person would be a day or Two for someone else (like me)

(ok, i am being somewhat vague)
but The answer To This really can vary

****

since you are asking The Question
i guess i would say That This would

Take you a day or Two (The 1st Time)

but This could possibly be 4-8 hours worth of work
once you get The hang of how the workflow process

between Acad and VIZ works

****

Thanks

Randy

There is so much To Learn at 1st, its get easier The more That you work with VIZ or any other 3d CG package
