Marc Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I'm trying to render an extruded object using an image color.(plain color, obj attribute) I'm not using transparency or reflectivity or bumps When I go to render in either custom or final rw one side seems to be transparent. I never noticed this before. Is this right or do I have a problem? VW 9.5.2 rw9.0.1 g3 500 256ram os 9.2.2 Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Try changing your light source/position. Does it still appear transparent? PC Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Can you send the file to me please? tech@nemetschek.net?subject=ATTN:Katie Please put a note about the problem or a link to this web page in the email. Quote Link to comment
Davis Design Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I am having the same problem with both extrudes (only the sides show the color while the top is transparent) and with a loft created from to NURBS curves?? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Did you create a solid loft or does it not have the top and bottom surface? You can send the file to be using the above address. Please include a link to this page in the body of the email. Quote Link to comment
TiTaNiuM sAMuRai Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Did you make CERTAIN that your shape was properly closed before extrusion? Quote Link to comment
Marc Posted March 22, 2003 Author Share Posted March 22, 2003 Sorry I've been a little absent. The file sortof doesn't exist anymore. It was weird because sometimes when I changed the view the "transparence" didn't happen. (No I was not using transparency) I will try to recreat and then send you a file Katie. If your talking to me TS how do you properly close an extrusion. My extrusion was a simple rectangle. .75" x 2'-0" extruded 2'-0" m Quote Link to comment
dla Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I have the same problem. My wall surfaces and vertical surfaces of extruded surfaces are fine, but I can't get a horizontal surface. I think I've tried every combination on the mapping dialogue. Does anyone know what's wrong? I used to have this problem with complex shapes, but never with rectangles. Dan Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Dan can you email the object to me, please? tech@nemetschek.net?subject=ATTN:Katie Quote Link to comment
ccroft Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I've always had that (vertical yes,horiz no if extruded in top/plan) with extruded rectangles in 8.5.2 since it came out. Extruded polygons are fine so that's what I draw. I just thought it was something about rectangle objects.Is it supposed to be otherwise? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 You should always be able to have a texture on all sides of most objects, including extruded rectangles. Quote Link to comment
ccroft Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Well, what do you know! No problem. I had some sort of rendering trouble when I was first learning 3d and it had something to do with rectangles....possibly subtractions made from extruced rectangles. It works fine.
