    color correction with print

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    This might not be VW problem

    I know from experience and help from a Graphic Designer that you can never go on what is shown on screen as the screen resulotion and colors are not the printing colors.

    This is the reason for print proofs when design goes for print.

    It is the printer that determans the color of the print.

    Then again they should not differ that much but will never be exact.

    Would help if you add some info regarding what you use like I have in my Signature, Im sure it will help the more advanced members on here like the Mods to give a correct solution on your problem

    Truss Toners/LineLights rendering problem

    in Rendering

    Posted

    I notice Line Lights differ in the way they look when they are different lengths.

    See attached is a render showing 3 line lights. 500mm, 2400mm and 19200mm.

    Why is this??

    The 2400 is looking the best for what I need but could be better.

    Then there seems to be a BUG.

    When a Line Light is created vertically it does not show except when it touches or intercepts anoher surface.

    It will also show a black line in Renders eventhough it has a color from creation.

    What I tried doing is having the same effect as the line light has running horizontally like a edge glow on the vertical corners.

    Carl,

    If you are still having problems, you may get more help by posting in the Renderworks forum. There are more users in the Renderworks forum that may be able to help you out with rendering issues and offer you better solutions to your problem.

    Thanks for the headsup there.

    This is a Spotlight problem though, but will post in there too.

    I did some truss with socks by a texture with "glow." I imagine it would work the same on regular truss.

    The drawback is that you don't have falloff in the light along the truss. The whole surface glows at the same intensity. The benefit is that it is very easy for the rendering engine.

    Make the texture 50% transparent with glow selected

    I made the lightboxes have a falloff by adding additional spotlights and raising the box about 3mm.

    Not very successful, but looks good with the line light I added. When other lights are swithed off you can see the falloff

    Thank you for the answers there guys

    Now how about the other 2?

    I have been having problem with walls and wrapping of textures in genral, but I notice the walls have BUGS by the look of all the other posts on here.

    1) Is there a way to tell VW the direction to "wrap" the texture around the wall? In the attached example I would like to have the paved pattern to continue over the top of the wall. VW appears to treat the top as a separate element and fills it accordingly.

    2) The brushed aluminium texture runs both horizontally and vertically within the same line of text. The text objects are extruded polylines (grouped). How can this be fixed?

    Which glass texture for windows?

    OK

    So here is my attempt at the clear glass thing

    Set in a marquee with glass panels where I left out the one to indicate the effect of the light entering the space against the reflection of the glass.

    I also have a Floor texture in with an ?Aluminium Chrome Plate? Texture applied and 9 point light running down the apex set @ 40%.

    The render Style is pretty much the same I had with the scaff-stage I posted recently.

    In addition I have dropped in what I have made regarding the Light box issue.

    A piece of truss covered with a stretched sock and a LED Par inside.

    In VW it is a piece of truss with a hollow extrude and a Semi-transparent texture set to Glow with a bump.

    This without the truss makes a Light box aswell but I place a Line light in the centre to add extra glow on the inside.
