Hello Igor,
From the looks of the post it seems that you are using Podium to do your rendoring. While I don't have nearly the talent which you seem to display, I was wondering if you can help me out. I have been trying to render a piece of metal, and I can't seem to get the surface to resemble it. Any tips?

Thanks,
DZootZuiter

hey! welcome to the forums!
depends on the metal you are trying to replicate. chrome is simple: make the face grey then select the fave and move the "reflection" slider all the way up
brushed metal: SU has a pretty good texture for this. put it on the face and dont do anything to the sliders. later on you can use bump maps for a more real effect.

mind to tell me what metal you are trying to make?

ive got another render, er, rendering right now. coming soon!

Thank for the info, what I'm trying to accomplish is gold. I also want to make something out of obsidian which has a glassy quality to it, any ideas on that?

Thanks

because i really dont want to jack this thread, why dont you go to the podium forums (idex page> extentions and external aplications> podium) and ask about it? happy rendering!

im at school right now, so ill see what i can render in study hall.

observe the greatest race car to ever exist (atleast until ferarri relaeses its ne F1 car)

new render baking! just playing around w/reflection and light.
btw, does podium support projected textures? i cant seem to get mine to work. and podium doesnt support light refraction, does it? that why the glass ball im rendering looks hollow...

igor · 22 Apr 2008, 02:15

ok ok! im sorry for having like, 5 post in a row.
anyway...
heres the finished render!
the second one is me trying at projected textures... and failing. podium aparantly doesnt like projected textures.

solo · 22 Apr 2008, 02:16

What do you mean by projected textures?

igor · 22 Apr 2008, 02:48

a projected texture is when you - wait for it - project a texture! you know how when you put a texture on a curved face, i becomes all tilled and everything, filling in the little squares of the hidden geometry. if you project it, you get a nice, smooth, seamless texture. ill try to get some examples

solo · 22 Apr 2008, 02:53

Okay so as I understand you used the project texture feature within SU, what I do not understand is how Podium 'does not like' them?
I use projected textures on most of my curved faces without any issue, I assumed maybe you meant bumped textures.

Have you tried projecting a bump texture? that way the render will have the appearance of a relieved texture.

solo · 22 Apr 2008, 03:04

Ah!!

Explode the bowl, while it is still hi-lighted make it a group. The texture will adjust and you can then scale as you please using the editor and it will then render just fine.

igor · 22 Apr 2008, 03:04

no, i mean that i can have a seamless textured bowl (with projected texture), and when i render it, it looks all tiled and everything. and it looks like the texture is really tinny, even if i scale it up. what gives?

oh and btw, im not yet using bumps, so you can scratch out that option.
