Jase1992 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hello All, I have been battling with Vectoworks (Designer 2018) all day trying to create a simple curtain wall. I want to visualise a sheer curtain but due to the amount of poly lines the shape generates it always renders black and not sheer. HELP? I know there must be a simple answer. Thanks in advance.

herbieherb Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) I wouldn't model the curtain, but rather place a texture with displacement mapping on a simple 3D polygon. It looks much better in a rendering, you don't have to model it and you don't have to have a lot of geometry in your project while working. Here is a video of how you do it: Curtain.mp4 The texture only works if you select a Renderworks render style and turn on Displacement Mapping. Here's the texture used: And also some other Textures to experiment with: And here's the Vectorworks file from the video: curtain.vwx Edited February 25, 2020 by herbieherb Quote Link to comment
