CRSA_890 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I am making an image prop from 3 images tiled in Photoshop, saved a a jpeg. The jpeg is not that large, maybe 1.4 MB? When I create an image prop from it, it shows as black, when rendering with Renderworks, but fine when under OpenGL. There is nothing I can do to make it render correctly under Renderowrks, even fast quality renderworks will not render it. The texture in the Resource pallet shows a black square, but when I edit it and select EDIT IMAGE COLOR, the image shows up fine. I have set the size correctly, but nothing gets it to work under RW. Creating other image props works fine, but just this one. I have uploaded the file to the following site for anyone to play with. http://www.craigrsmithaia.com/jobs/misc/ Mac os 10.4.7, VW 12.5.1, renderworks/Architect. Mac Pro 2x2.66 Ghz, 2 GB ram, 7300 vid card. Any idea what is going on? thanks, Spinner Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 You may need to drop the dpi of the image to around 150 or 300 (if it's not already) and definitely reduce the width/height size. That's a really large image file, for a jpg. Quote Link to comment
CRSA_890 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 The image is at 72 dpi already. I took your advice, and reduced the image size in photoshop, and in VW, stretched it to fit the 150' long section, and it worked...It was about 90" wide, now about 20" wide. I did notice even as a PNG, it would still not render at the larger size. Is there a physical size limit on the textures used? If so is it file size? pixel dimension? physical dimension? Thanks, Spinner Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 There is, but I don't know the calculation off the top of my head (not in the office today). I'll check when I'm back in the office. Quote Link to comment
Dave_Donley Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hello CRSA_890: The width of the image has to be less than 4096 pixels wide. Quote Link to comment
CRSA_890 Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Ahh, Thank you. May I ask how you came across that? Again, Thanks Quote Link to comment
mclaugh Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 May I ask how you came across that? Just a wild guess, but maybe the fact that his e-mail address is dave@nemetschek.net has something to do with it. Quote Link to comment

Petri Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 You mean he lives in a block of flats, with a Super? (Sorry, sorry - it is Friday evening and I should go home to lose my powers...) Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 The title under you name depends on how many posts you've made using that particular log in. Because he uses a few different accounts, his "handles" have different titles. Quote Link to comment
Dave_Donley Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Actually I forgot my password and couldn't get the forum to reset it, so I created a new identity! Quote Link to comment
