If it is unticked, you won't get them but the rest shall be fine. I use it for the shader rounding the edges. It is much faster but doesn't work with all types of shaders. The reason why I asked for the graphic card is that there is an option to tick in Blender to use the GPU instead of the CPU for rendering. Thanks in advance for your help ! Thank you for your advice ! I have a GTX970 graphic card, so it's more than enough to handle my model. How many do I need in average to have a clear smooth render ?

The samples for my render were set to 1200. How do I add a little bit of gain on the HDR image ? It's pretty easy to do while rendering in Luxrender but I didn't find the big 'Add intensity to the light' button in Blender.įor the grain on the picture, I think it's because the samples were to low. I tried to add a sunlight but apparently that did not work. My render had some problem, the image was a little grey, and grainy. So yeah, my experience with Blender is not great so far, but I've made some progress !

The render did not crash when I unticked 'Open Shading language' but I can't show it because I've stupidly close the Blender console and the whole software close with it. In the camera viewport, press Ctrl+B and select the area of the camera you want to render. You can also only render part of the image. Create a new material and select Emission. You can also attach/mix an emission shader to a mesh. Add button (or Shift+A) and choose type of lamp. Yes you can also add as many lights as you want even with a HDR lighting. What kind of graphic card do you have? Is it a NVidia CUDA capable? If you want to render faster for testing purposes, you can try to decrease the number of render samples in the Sampling section to something like 100.Ĭan you also try with smaller dimensions (either by changing X and Y and simply by turning down the percentage scale number).

There are lots of shortcuts to learn!Ĭan you try to run it with Open Shading Language checkbox unticked? - It is located a couple of lines under the Render button. The measurement of these properties will meet the aims of the research and provide data for ongoing research work on masonry panels.Yes, Blender is not the easiest to understand at first. The third objective is to calculate a Young's Modulus for the mortar within the joints. The second objective is to compare the Young's Modulus for the masonry prisms to the mean peak stress for the prisms. The first objective is a determination and comparison of the quasi-statically measured Young's Modulus and the dynamically measured Modulus of Elasticity for masonry prisms. There are three objectives to measure the material properties for this paper.

Material properties are required for these methods of analysis, irrespec-tive of the numerical method. The design of build-ings within Australian now must consider the minimum loading from the AS 1170.4 SAA Earthquake Loads using either an equivalent static loading, frequency domain or time domain analysis. 2 INTRODUCTION A reasonable proportion of the larger masonry buildings and dwellings built within in Australia and elsewhere in intraplate regions would have been designed on the basis of static loading design rules and assuming zero or low seismic loads. A single type of mortar was used for all experimental work. The dynamic and quasi-static samples were tested from the same population of masonry prism samples. A test rig has been developed for measuring the elastic properties of masonry prisms under uniaxial static loading. The third aim is to compare the masonry prism results to masonry unit results for the Young's Modulus, to determine the ratio of Young's Modulus to the peak stress for the prisms and to cal-culate the Young's Modulus for the mortar. The second aim is to compare the dynamic Modulus of Elastic-ity results to the Young's Modulus obtained using quasi-static methods. The first aim of this paper is to experimentally investigate the use of high frequency sinusoidal dynamic loading to determine the dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of masonry.

These two dynamic procedures are to be tested on masonry prisms to provide a verification of the methods. The Longitudinal Vibration Test Method and the Ultrasonic Pulse Methods were developed for the dynamic testing of concrete speci-mens. One of the parameters identified as influencing the structural response of buildings is the dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of masonry.
