    I didn't mean to double post.

    I'm trying to render a carpet material. Texture applied to a normal face, ungrouped.

    Thanks. Ben

        Sepo,

        So you're saying that any SU texture should render in Podium, without changing the name or put into the Podium directory?

        Here's the file.

        Ben

            I've downloaded and rendered the file. No problems experienced rendering here, except I don't seem to get the pile profile pictured. It looks more like noise, it could be the scale of the image, it does seem to be the scale of the image from the looks of it. What size image did you use? Try not to exceed 1024 x 1024 pixels as SketchUp will automatically reduce it to be max 1024px. Normally 512px is more than sufficient (tip I got from an expert texturer / modeler).

              needed to reaplly texture as it was applied to backface and flipped. Anyway it renders fine. And just to confirm you Podium will render materials from SU ...as you see them in your model (apart from transparent .png).

                Sepo,

                I don't understand how it could have been applied to the back face, but thank you. I'll give it another try.

                Juju, thank you too for your help.

                  It could happen like this....you apply material to reverse face....and than discover you have reversed faces... than you flip it and forget to apply to front face. I've seen it before.๐Ÿ˜„

                    Sepo and Juju,

                    Nope, still renders black.

                    Juju, the texture came with SU.

                    Ben

                      I tried several of the SU textures. I can only render the colors, the rest seem to render black.

                      Any other ideas?

                      Ben

                        Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Podium from fresh?

                          I seem to recall having had a similar issue when exporting a model using the free Google SU with only the standard material package installed... (the package, which is installed together with GSU)

                          I suggest you download the Materials Bonus Pack and try seeing how this will work...

                          Cheers

                            Juju, may have to try that.

                            Frederick, I'm using the Pro version and I did install the bonus pack.

                            Thanks guys.

                                Could it be that your textures are placed in a folder or sub-folder (meaning the entire string) containing a non-standard letter..??
                                (something outside the English alphabet...)
                                I'm guessing here, since I can't grasp why you can't make this work... ๐Ÿ˜•

                                    Sepo, I'm running the windows version.

                                    Frederick, the textures is coming from the materials folder under the SU program folder. No unusual characters in the folder name.

                                    Thanks again guys. Ben

                                      I would have prefered to deal with it on Podium forum but ok....tell me what you have in your Podium folder in plugins.

                                        OK... Then I'm out of ideas... ๐Ÿ˜
                                        I'm sure Sepo will be able to help you out here...
                                        Perhaps you should take his advice and continue this on the Podium forum... ๐Ÿ˜‰
