pattern in DIVA grasshopper- Accelerad

[mirdamad...@gmail.com]

Hi Nathaniel, 

Thanks for developing such a useful tool that saves a lot of time.

I want to render an image-based rendering in DIVA plugin for grasshopper. I tested some simple scenes and it worked well. now I have some problems with defining materials and sky.

Is it possible to define a pattern in DIVA for grasshopper and run with Accelerad?

I want to map wood pattern on desks in a classroom. How can I define wood pattern in DIVA?

another question is about the sky. I want to use an HDR image( view from window) on sky. How can I do that?

You can find a list of the supported object types in Accelerad here. At the moment, Accelerad does not support patterns.

Regarding your question about the sky, there is a process you can use to map an HDR image to the sky, as in this example. I've only used this with one type of hemispherical fisheye lens, and it requires additional library files that are not part of the public release. If you are interested it pursuing this, I can provide you with the relevant files.
