Wall Texture not working

[Horst M.]

Hallo,

I'm stuck with something that I thought should be simple.

I want to paint a Brick Wall in a Color.

So I created a Renderworks texture with a Plain Color, and applied

the "Textured Brick" Shader in the Bump Channel.

As long as I'm in the Edit Texture Resource Mode, the renderd Wall looks fine.

When I leave the Edit Mode, the Brick structure gets distorted.

I tried all the settings of the Texture shader, without getting rid of the distortion :-(

Any Idea Why?

It looks like it's an Open GL thing. If you use any other render option (Fast, Fast w/ Shadows, Or Final) the dark distortion goes away.

I tried this in Vectorworks 2010, and it works fine for me in final quality renderworks. I see the dark line in openGL. i call openGL, quick and dirty...

Thanks fo the help..

I knew it's me missing something simple :-((

@jonathan: may be you are right with the open GL Statement.

just... never saw something like this in open GL in C4d. (for example...)

I recently had brick pattern distortion when printing sheets, and changing the rendering mode didn't help. It turned out that raising the sheet's resolution from 72dpi to 300 or greater solved the problem.
