MattG Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 What do people here think might be the best approach to making a texture that represents the led's. We have this flat panel led fixture I am trying to create in a rendering. I have drawn it and drawn in each node. It looks good and accurate, but if I drop a few of these in a drawing it gets kinda crazy slow. What I am looking for is 18"x18" of flat area that has 12 high by 12 wide of white led's. Just little 5/8" or so circles that can kinda represent where the light is coming from. Curious to know what might be the best way to make this as a texture or something. Matt Quote Link to comment
HP Sauce Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Try the solid polka/polka* shader with suitable reflectivity settings. You can either mask the background colour or have an additional object with subtracted holes over the top. Alternatively an extrude with 5/8" subtractions and a white 3d poly with suitable reflectivity settings set back from the extrude face would work. If memory serves, creating the unit as a symbol before duplicating will cut down on performance loss in both navigation and rendering. Quote Link to comment
