Vase

But I didn't modify the floor texture, it was a readymade one and I just applied it. I think that's how it was meant to be...

Yes and no... The material is ready for use, but depending on the material you've applied in SU and the scale of it, you might also need to re-scale the material in KT before you render your scene...

Nice model BTW...

Thanks again for your really encouraging comments .

But I didn't have any material applied in sketchup. As a matter of fact I didn't even make that floor in sketchup!! It's a kerkythea infinite plane. But I'm sure the texture's meant to be that way. It looked like that even in the preview. It's one of the material libraries in the KT repository. It was called "floors". I think it was by Darren Sintra.

I believe the floor material you've used is taken from the (Lis) Wooden Floors....

Please believe me when I say that you do need to re-scale the material...

To make it easier for you before you start the render, in KT press the "V" on your keyboard to toggle from the standard "Wireframe" to "Solid"...
In the Scene Tree View, right-click the material where you've applied the wooden floor and select "Edit material" in the sub-menu...
You will see that it's a layered material...
1.) Click the "#0" layer...
2.) Now click the word "Diffuse"...
3.) Click the bit-map in the "Texture Editor" box...
4.) In the "Coordinates" you can change the X and Y scale...
Try setting it to "0,100" (in order to scale it up)

5.) Remember to repeat the above steps to the texture applied in the "Bump Mapping" channel...

Hope this can help you further...

P.S. I'm just trying to help you, but if you don't believe what I'm saying, by all means, please disregard my post...

Oh ok. I'll try that right now!

Thanks!

justry

Yeah! It looks much better now! I also scaled down the vase to help.

That's weird though... I thought that if it's like this by default then that's what it's supposed to look like. Is this due to some kind of miscalculation by the person who made the material or something?

solo

Looks much, much better ...however.... the bump on the parquet tiles is reversed.

Frederik

I agree with Solo... The bump map seem to be reversed...
But again it's pretty easy to fix...

justry

Fixed it. I had spotted that option and guessed that it was the answer .

Still, why is this happening? Is the problem with the material library itself or with kerkythea or what?

It's the material...
I assume that the person making this library wasn't taking care of this...

justry

Hmm. Oh well...

Thanks a lot for your help. I'm liking kerkythea more and more, it's so easy to use.

Not that I tried anything else , but I still like it .
