Inventor 2014 raytrace too dark

Just tried to install Inventor 2014, SP1 to try ray trace, which should have been fixed...

 

When I use the default lightning with ray trace off, the lightning looks "normal"

When I apply raytrace interactive/good the image gets much darker and details are hard to see.

Wehn I apply best, it looks fine and normal again, if we try to forgets the specs.

 

Why does it become so dark when applying good/interactive raytrace?

 

Brgds,

Chris

They were only able to improve the good setting at this time.

Sometimes you just need a good old reboot.

Does it work if you increase the amount of lighting?

 

You can do that by click View -> Two Lights(or other) -> Settings

finally installed 2014...

Raytracing is totally messed up.. Smiley Mad

Autodesk really screwed this release up big time.. 

And I can't believe we have been told to wait till next release for a proper fix.. Thats absolute BS </rant>

It helps a bit, but it is not pretty.

 

Besides it messes up the normal non raytracing view making it too bright.

 

All I ask for is, that the raytrace/non-raytrace lightening should somehow correspond as it actually does in "best"

Fair enough. Unfortunately I am not on a 2014 PC at the moment, so I cannot test it

I would still really appreciate some feedback from Autodesk on this issue...

 

Look at the attached files below, both are rendered from the same scene setup, but with "good" and "best" raytrace.

Is this how it is supposed to be, and if yes why?

From what I've heard/read it seems that someone really messed up Inventor 2014.. Something about a new kernel and they can't fix it until Inventor 2015 for some BS reason.

So I thought in SP1 they attempted to fix the "good" setting but couldn't fix "best" so they recommend everyone uses "good" until 2015 then hopefully they can fix it all..

Of course, the fix is as simple as clicking a toggle box thats labeled "Make it work".  Smiley Mad

 

Ever work on a project for a client, and have to wait for a third-party vendor to provide you information, even though the client is screaming at you to get the work done?  Thats where AutoDesk is at for some of these so-called "simple fixes".  You can scream at AutoDesk as loud as you want, and they can scream at the third-party developers as loud as they want, and that won't change ANYTHING.

 

Short story: sometimes what is, is.  Not BS, not price gouging, not anything else.
