ptarmigan Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 following the radiosity guide, I'm trying to utilise the "colour coded preview" option offered by the radiosity custom settings dialogue. I don't getting the preview for some reason. By that I mean, the image doesn't change from a rendering into a colour coded preview, which is what it should do. No, the rendering - the current one - just stays there untransformed into a coded preview. Darned puzzling.. Is this a Mac failing (I'm on a Mac Mini, running VW12.5.1 btw). Am I missing something ? ptarmigan Quote Link to comment
propstuff Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 This has happened to me sometimes. Also, sometimes the preview mostly works, but the Triangles don't show up. I haven't been able to discern any pattern as to why: it seems quite random. Generally re-starting the program fixes it for me. N. Quote Link to comment
Dave_Donley Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hello ptarmigan: Is this a complicated model? How much RAM does your machine have? The reasons triangles might not show up are if the sizes are small enough that a lot of triangles will be generated then they won't be shown (it would slow down the preview a lot), or if the largest surface in the view is under some other surface or overlaps with another surface.

ptarmigan Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 i tried a simple model and the preview showed up: that proves the functionality is there now i need to get the hang of rendering interiors and using lights at the mo' everything seems too warm: seems difficult to get a straightforward colouring and light. my white walls seems to be over-shaded, too grey is there a good training resource available ?
