Simple Renderings Thread

I'm still lost on how to put materials from the database into your scene.

You download the material to your computer. Set the material type (in your exporter) to "External" or something similar (the wording may be different but the idea stays the same) and you set the path to that material.

Oh.

Well that's simple enough.

Thanks

Oh.

Thanks

Heh, just my 2 cents, but I'll disagree with you there


Using materials should be self explanatory and require only a few clicks.. Maybe a button in the DB that says "Download and send to exporter."

It's already simple enough...once you've been told how it works. I mean he got it straight away when i told him, its not like the process is at all obscure. I wouldnt mind a "download all material from database" functions but... "Download and send to exporter" thats just being lazy. And I usually dont leave the materials in the default directory theyre being downloaded to so...it wouldnt be useful anyway (and I usually make a copy of it in my scene folder anyway)

Loading materials should get easier with the "next generation" of exporters.

I think I finally got motion blur working Each emitter is on a different layer. The animation is of a rubik's cube falling, hitting the ground, and crashing to pieces. (Done with SketchyPhysics Plugin)

Rule #1 of making a UI easy/enjoyable to use : There is no such thing as "lazy" or too easy.


Couldn't the material DB be configured to DL materials to whatever location you want?

Or just for... like... world domination?

Nice whaat ! How many keyframes are you using ?

[Whaat]

Nice whaat ! How many keyframes are you using ?

I think there are about 96 keyframes.

[cpfresh]

WOW! great render Whaat! where is the movie??

[Camox]

Dining room with ambilights. The bulb material is from Ctzn, thank you again for sharing.

[zeitmeister]

Beautiful!
Did you solve the darkening at the corners of the blue light panels with a teture or is it modeled?
Is it a emittive diffuse transmitter or just a emittive diffuse?

[Camox]

Thx Zeitmeister, the material is a diffuse transmitter and in the background there are several emitter.

[OnoSendai]

Very nice Camox!
