possible to use true shading editor settings for HQ image?
(OP)
Is it possible to use the true shading editor settings for the HQ image? The true shading looks much better than anything I can come up with myself in the HQ image. But also it is so much faster!!! I would like to make a turn table animation from this true shading editor, but I don't know how. I can do it from a HQ image, but it takes forever to render and it looks not even 1/10th as good.





RE: possible to use true shading editor settings for HQ image?
The closest relationship between HQ rendering and hardware driven display is the 'Studio' display mode, at least that was the case until NX 8.0, where we've now sort of created a hybrid imaging mode called 'True Studio'. Here you will have many of the features of 'True Shading' but where anytime you wish to you can hit the 'HQ Render' button and software rendering will take over and create a High Quality image which can be used wherever an actual pixel-based file is appropriate.
Of course, there's nothing stopping you from simply going to...
File -> Export ->
...and selecting one of the image file formats, such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF or BMP, and capturing the image that you see on the screen while running in 'True Shading' mode. But remember, the image properties will only be as good as the resolution and size of your NX display window, but many situations that may be enough.

I don't get the HQ image. I guess you need some training how lighting works and all that to get something pretty out of it. So far all my HQ trials are dull and flat.
