Cad64 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Could it be that those polys are flipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazardman Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 just in case, are you rendering with mental ray?..also i noticed that there is a map assigned to the diffusion and reflection slot...are the path's in max set up to look in the proper directories to find these maps?

damob23 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yup I am rendering with mental ray,? could there be an issue there, the maps are part of the ceramic glazed template so I assume they are looking in the correct location.

Cad64 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Are you sure you have Mental Ray selected as your renderer? I just applied the arch & design material to a box, switched to the scanline renderer and the box rendered black, just like the image you posted.

damob23 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yup Im using mental ray, I noticed something, In my material editor screen grab up there, When I click on the map in the diffuse area of the material properties rollout, and in this rollout under advanced controls, under texture is none. I replaced this with a standard texture and it renderend as orange tiles, how ever the tiles were crocked and looked strange for some reason.

Cad64 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 the tiles were crocked and looked strange for some reason. Did you map your UV's before applying the texture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damob23 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 So by that you mean, Apply a UV map to the surface, No I dont didnt but that would explain it, I will try it, thanks for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
