Igor's  renderings
- 
 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. 
- 
 just me playing around (i know, is kinda low-poly):

 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...
- 
 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.
  
  
- 
 What do you mean by projected textures? 
- 
 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 
- 
 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. 
- 
 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. 
- 
 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. 
- 
 One other thing, copy texture and apply to reverse side too. 
- 
 it worked!!! thanks solo, sorry if i kinda snapped at you before, i was just kinda ticked at SU... oh and thankd for the texture tip above. but wait, what is it supposed to do?

-

- 
 wow, that one was going for a long time, did you use noisy settings? 
- 
 yep. here's another. left it on noisy whil i was @ school. once again it wont fit in the post, (could it have something to do with the fact that i always format the renders as PNGs?) here it is:  or incase that doesnt work here is the link: 
 http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh173/imacarfreak/?action=view¤t=20080424162954_8h53m23s.png
 why does the image thing keep not working! i got it wo work before. is there a trick?
- 
 alright, i rendered another one while i was out at dinner. i tried to get the two spires to reflect off eachother, and im shure they did, but i cant see it! i will once again try to get the image to apear here, but ill probly end up posting a link.  or the link, if the image doesnt show up (agian) i heard something about a file server somewhere. where you you could upload a file regardless of size. where is that?
