Realtime Architectural exploration engine - Page 3

spacecase · January 2nd, 2008

I was recently introduced to Halcyon via the demo. Very cool! I work for an ArchVis shop and we are looking for something just like this. How detailed are the instructions for using Halcyon? We use Max9 and VRay. My tests with texture baking could not achieve results similar to what I was seeing in the synagogue demo lightmaps. The Max Help isn't really detailed about all the texture baking settings.

My biggest concern is how difficult is it to use? Is strong scripting experience necessary?

Thanks!

We are downloading the demo to have a look.
Are there any more updates in this area from other users.
We use max and are looking for good user friendly Realtime Architectural exploration engine. Are there other engines / players worth looking at in this area? Any help would be great.
thanks in advance
