That doesn't really look like a physically based render kernel in the 3D window. It feels more like an Ambient Occlusion (AO)-based shader, which is pretty standard nowadays in a lot of other 3D software out there today (Rhino, Maya, Max and even Revit has a display mode that utlises AO-based shading). The tell would be the fact that you don't have any real-time updating reflections on reflective surfaces and the soft shading and shadowing only occurs around tight corners or close proximity geometry (that's pretty much what AO-based shading uses to achieve that effect without additional light sources.) But they do say it's experimental, so I'm hoping they're still working the kinks out and by the time it gets out of "experimental" phase it will be a full-functioning physically-based renderer that even has basic reflections and more accurate transparency/translucency. Otherwise it's a misleading misnomer. It just feels like they just ported a version of the 3D engine/kernel they now use for the new version of BIMx Pro into the mothership program, and yeah,.....that's not a physically-based renderer either. Although an improvement on the previous engine, it's still just an AO-shader. Again, software like Rhino are vastly several lightyears ahead of ArchiCAD when it comes to the display options and modes for the 3D window (including home-brew version of their own physically-based realistic renderer AND a real-time sketch rendering mode. Imagine that. Imagine having a sketch-based mode to work on in 3D in realtime with no lag) In terms of the other features, I still feel like this is a weak upgrade in the sense of thenew features they have. Design Options and interactive dimension guides are nice - but as the only Architecture-focused features, it still makes for weak upgrade, particually given the fact that they are several years and versions late in adopting those features into the program. I'm giving them something of a pass for ArchiCAD 27 since I know it comes at an "in-between" period before they made this course-correction to try to make a better effort to deliver a better upgrade after several weak version upgrades focused on structural and MEP. But that only means that version 28 had better be their best version ever. They're losing a lot of credibility fast ("they" being Graphisoft), and that's soon going to translate to customers and revenue too, if they're not too careful.
Thanks for this information. I'm definitely not the best at knowing the specifics of 3d graphics technologies. I agree it is a "weak" upgrade, but still VERY welcome. My eyes are much happier as a result. True RTX in the 3D window in Archicad would be such a welcome feature.
@@NBCNothingButCrap , I had been using RecordIt on the Mac because it is super simple and easy. On PC, I use OBS. I didn't realize OBS had a Mac version, so I'll try that for the next video. Not interested in Filmore because it's a Wondershare product and every Wondershare product I've tried has been trash.
@@ColorBlindArchitect Yeah.. OBS quite simple and powerful. I dont have Mac device, planning to get one but I need to wait till Apple Silicon can fully handle UE5, especially Lumen and Nanite. I still looking for best screen recording method / software out there. I even bought Elgato HD60X device, still doesnt help. Recording from my monitor ( 4K & 2K ) still blurry, not crispy.
They are using a cloud license system, and you can look on you graphisoft account online to see if your AC27 license is available. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to sign up for the technology preview on the landing page for AC27
Thanks for the feedback. I'm still working on figuring out the best mix of camera, microphone, and capture software. Lighting is also a problem as I'm still in my utility closet. Once the my new architecture studio is completed with construction, I'll have much better lighting and can get much better quality video out.

incredible
PLease make your Archicad brighter and clear
Thanks for the feedback. I'm still learning screen capturing software and trying to find the software solution and settings that work the best.
@@ColorBlindArchitect You use Filmora? OBS?

Yes this true.. Plese archicad must be bright then u tho.. But thanks for video..
Archicad 27 preview 2 is ask license how get license

Screen not clear sir...re-record your video pls
