Is rendering still available?

stefano_compagnoni2 — Sat, 22 Jul 2023 20:03:59 GMT

Hello, i updated my version of Alias in Alias2024 and i noticed that the menù "render" is missing and also the "render globals" and "direct render".

I'm now thinking that is no longer available make render in alias and you have to use VRed or similar.

Also under the menu "visualize" there is nothing similar.

Help please

You're right. Looking at "What's New in Alias 2024" there is a chapter titled "Deprecated, replaced, and removed features" where you can read that all the software renderer tools have been removed.

You still have the shaders/lights/environments tools because you still have the hardware shade rendering technology as previous versions.

Have to buy VRED or upgrade to Auto studio ( which has VRED included ) and get it that way.......

It seems like the rendering options have been moved or changed in Alias 2024. You're right—Autodesk may have shifted rendering to VRED or similar software for more advanced rendering features. Check the preferences or documentation for Alias 2024 to see if rendering has been relocated or if new workflows have been introduced. You can also try customizing your workspace to see if the render options can be restored.
