JeffPPI Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hi all I'm running into a problem. I have an object with an image texture. when i open the file, it renders just like it should on fast render with shadows. after a bit, it just turns black. I can edit the texture, looking at the image I want it to be, but it renders black.(it's black in the object info pallet as well.) Any thoughts? Also, another image texture causes my system to eat it's memory. I grouped the object by itself, and then told it to do a fast RW with shadows, and it ran out of memory in about 3 seconds. Same object with no texture works fine. I try to edit the texture, and instead of the preview window, I get a black square. Is my image file corrupted? Thanks! Jeff Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Could you post some example files? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted February 5, 2009 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hello Jeff: What is the pixel width and height of the image assigned to the texture? It sounds like it is very large; the black results are typical of running out of memory. Quote Link to comment
cad@sggsa Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Have had the same thing. as Dave said. Try using a Jpeg of about 150kb or less depending what it is and what you would be using it for. The work around is to save more times in a session to avoid this and if it occours to close VW. Quote Link to comment
Markus Dohner Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I have had a similar problem. A student of mine created a design with graphic textures on his XP Pro in VW 2008. Some of the texture turn black, some are OK, and zoomed in its swaps different set with black. However, everything rendered perfect on my Mac G-4 in VW 2008 and 2009. More important, I was able to duplicate the XP Pro render problem in my Parallels XP Pro environment (on a MacBook) Weird? Any advice? --Markus Dohner VW 2009 Designer RW G4 OS 10.4 Quote Link to comment
