yep was emergency buy as my better one was damaged by my cleaning and cannot mount a GPU
I admit to being a bit confused though
again not wanting to derail this thread
its a free software one of many I use and being ArchVis lends itself to showcasing houses as opposed to rendering one room
so why the hostility
I use iClone, Carrara with Octane Render, Poser, Unreal Engine 4, Flowscape and sometimes even Blender
and many other softwares like Mandelbulber 3D, have over 1K of videos on YouTube done very quickly as I actually do not spend much time on my PC
(I do on my iPad browsing, reading) and I don't do Arty stuff really either its more like gaming for me to be honest
point is they are all tools maybe P0rt should share more of his renders and less opinion just saying, render the darn house
It uses the same walls around the house and the 2 fit together really easily.
Ahhh but Brooklyn is really coming up these days with the hipster invasion.

if only I had a Vive or Oculus rift I could drunkedly stagger through the virtual house party
When you can't select geometry with the Geometry Editor Tool, there is usually some mesh between your camera and the section you're trying to select. Hiding bones in the Scene tab, or material zones in the Surfaces > Editor does not hide that mesh from the tool. Open your Tool Settings, (with the Geometry Editor Tool active,) and hide face groups, surfaces or regions from there, until you can see the section you want to modify. Then the tool should be able to select the wall. Make sure the Selection Type is Polygon Selection, and it will probably help if the Selection Mode is Drag Selection.
Once you have selected the polygons for the wall, right-click and select Geometry Assignment > Create Selection Set from Selected…, name the new Selection Set and click on Accept. For example, Left Outside Wall Floor 2. Save the scene. Now when you need to hide that wall, you can turn off visibility on the Selection Set.
The advantage is you can include polygons with multiple material zones. The disadvantage is DS does not remember the visibility state of Selection Sets, (or any of the Geometry Editor visibility icons,) so you will need to hide the Selection Set everytime you open the scene, assuming you need the wall hidden all the time.
Also, since I can't remove the window shutters separately without deleting the window or part of the window as well, I can't really do shots with window reflection. A bummer, that was one of my major ideas for this set! That was quite a frustrating evening for me. Sad, because I really love this set and the interior looks very good. I have submitted a ticket for a refund. I'll look around which other modern interior homes I can find.
Where there's a will, there's a way, as the saying goes. I have this set but haven't loaded it yet. However, if you end up removing the glass with the shutters, you can always put a single polygon plane there, for the glass. Or get real fancy and use a flattened cube for "solid" glass.
@Asari, I loaded the house in DS. It will take a bit of work, but removing the "shutters" can be done. (For anyone who visualizes something on the outside of the building when you read the word "shutters," you may think of these as "vertical blinds". That's what my mama always called them.)
There you go.
You're welcome.
need to install my Shader Doctor plugin to Carrara on this PC to fix the Poser highlight so we will just say it was a wet day ......
My house started out an $8000/month Manhattan paradise but since I've been living in it for ten years it's now a rat infested horror movie location.
Carrara Octane video
need to fix Poser shaders still
Has anyone else noticed that the "Crossroads" prop doesn't load (missing data files)? In fact, it doesn't even install those pieces. Funky character in the archive (%D0%A1 -> С) for the "C" in Crossroads in the data path (shows as a ?), and in the .duf file that loads it, and in the geometry and uv files. Even the Manifest looks good, but the "C" in the Crossroads elements isn't really a "C". The metadata, too. I had to replace every "C" in "Crossroads" in every file to get it to work.
It doesn't really have a place in this product, not being part of the scene, but it matches the road segments from 22 Parker Road, so I guess it's an expansion of sorts...
Mmm bet the Poser one does
not a solution but since I use the Poser format ones in Carrara something to bear in mind if I ever get a useable version of DAZ studio again after 4.12 killed that app for me
Pretty certain I saw a $7,500 once.
there is no Poser one ...
oh under props and it looks for the obj..........
