Using CYCAS / Tips and Tricks / Render overnight
|

Having a set of images taking a lot of time to render I wondered how to prepare a script to do them all overnight, the proceeding is this one:
1- prepare your scenes in cycas
2- for each start a render and just stop it as soon as it begins
3- before starting another one go to the .cycas3/tmp dir in your home
4- there you'll find a file named cycas.pov, copy it to another dir with another name ie. cycas1.pov
5- do it for each scene.
at this point you will have many files, ie cycas1.pov, cycas2.pov, cycas3.pov and so on in a dir, you will need a script that takes each one and send it to pov with the right options, the script is this one:
#!/bin/bash
povray +Icycas1.pov +FC +W4096 +H3072 +Q9 +R2 +A0.1 +AM2 +O1.tga
povray +Icycas2.pov +FC +W4096 +H3072 +Q9 +R2 +A0.1 +AM2 +O2.tga
povray +Icycas3.pov +FC +W4096 +H3072 +Q9 +R2 +A0.1 +AM2 +O3.tga
the options can vary, +FC is form compressed tga +Q is render quality, +R is the level of recursion +A is antialias, test them for your speed/quality needs, please see povray documentation for a complete list.
as you see resolution antialias and render algorithm are set in the script, all the other parameters have to be set in cycas dialogue (ie ambient light)
Stated that povray now works alone with all your files the best thing to do is to free as match memory you can so he can work better.
There is at this point no need for looking at it so we can tourn off X , Kde, and anything else linux start up for making the desktop environment.
So the best thing to do is to go to a console (ie CTRL+ALR+F2), login as root and then issue an:
init 1
this shuts down quite anything and asks you to login as root, done that became your user with
su - youruser
go to the dir where you have the .pov files and the script and run the script.
when povray has done you can issue a
init 5
as root to return to the graphical environment as you startup.
well, this is for linux, for win it's another story.
enjoy

p.s.
the attached file renderizza.sh to be used should be made executable with ie
chmod 744 renderizza.sh

Great, like lines on the "red" roof perfectly aligned with the roof pitch.
I'm working on some renderings too after long time of 2D, will post something soon.

Using CYCAS / Drawing and Construction / still workling

Hi guis, it's a bit nobody writes, hope you all are busy like me.
I'm still business as usual with Cycas, I've just finished a villa on the hills here around, developing a new one, preparing drawings for dismissing an industrial manufacture, taking the local authority auth for an industrial buillding renovation, drawing an attic under a roof and many other...
Everything enjoying and working only with my favorite design tool (cycas) and exclusively under linux (suse), from the pencil to the print, not bad I say, I've believed for many years that that could be done and here we are.
So, let me hear about you.
ciao

Hi franco, I also print to file .ps, when comes up the print dialogue click file and will be generated a ps document, then you can open it in gimp or other sw or convert it to pdf via shell with ps2pdf util and print it via acroread.
I quite always use the last way.
Ciao franco, anch'io stampo su file .ps, quando viene il dialogue della stampa clicco su file e viene generato un documento ps, lo puoi aprire con gimp o con latri sw o convertirlo in pdf con l'utility ps2pdf e stamparlo per es via acrobat reader.
Quasi sempre uso l'ultimo modo.
ciao

Using CYCAS / Import and Export / Re: DIMENSION

Ok finally I've got it, all you were right, I've never had problems with dxf exports maybe because I have limited surroundings of autocads and turbocads usually importing them.
Effectively importing a cycas dxf in Draftsight has serviteur effect with no quotes.
I suppose the problem is linked to opendwg consortium libs many cad are using...when having a minute will try converting dxf to dxf...
ciao
