Tyler Forsberg Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I'm curious if this is an issue with my video card or if there's something else going on here. When I created a curved/blended screen (custom size 18' tall by 132' wide, with a curve depth of 26'), I am unable to get any sort of clean render. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Verified my render settings are set to Very High, so I don't think it's an issue with that. Thank you in advance. Tyler Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Is the Fill in the Attributes Palette set to Solid? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Is the object a long way from the drawing origin? Like many kilometers? Quote Link to comment

Pat Stanford Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Can you post the file so we can take a look at what is happening? Quote Link to comment

Pat Stanford Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I have no idea. It definitely looks like a problem with the Curved Screen. If I set it to s straight screen it looks OK with the color bars to me. @C. Andrew Dunning Andy, can you take a look please? Quote Link to comment
C. Andrew Dunning Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) Editing my response... I see the issue in every rendering mode w. the Spotlight version of the tool. I then inserted an instance (w. matching settings) of the Landru Design version. Zero issues. Likely something that got tweaked along the way that has not made it into the Spotlight version, yet.

Jeff Prince Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I'm not sure what it is supposed to be, do these look correct? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 @C. Andrew DunningCustom Renderworks does not work correctly in this file, even with all the CRW settings on high. It is very strange. Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 To elaborate on the above, what's happening is that the black "frames" component is literally protruding through the textured "screen" component, presumably due to the two curved components getting faceted at slightly different intervals. One workaround I found is to click the Classes button in the OIP, put the Frames on a class, then turn that class off. This leaves just the textured screen without the black frame, eliminating the stripes popping through. That being said, I then can't get the "Edit Screen Image" function to work as I'd expect... 1 Quote Link to comment

Tyler Forsberg Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 Thank you all for looking into this. Choosing "no frames" as Andrew mentioned is a perfect fix. Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Or that. Much easier 😆 Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Only because I'm curious, but it still does not seem to work properly for me. This is without Curved selected for the screen and this is with the curved screen. The only change I made was to set the screen curved. Shouldn't the image be the same in both cases?

Here is a file containing instances of the Spotlight PIO and the Landru Design version. While the faceting issue is gone w. the Landru Design version, clearly, I need to delve back into this tool a bit... 18x132 Curved Screen.vwx Quote Link to comment

No problem. CurveTest.vwx FWIW, the problem I'm seeing w. the Landru Design version is new to 2022. The problem: Image is flipped horizontally and starts from the wrong end of the curve.
