Shade Variation in Components
-
Hi all,
has any body seen a strange slight shade variation in dynamic components as they display on screen? i am on SU 7.1, Windows XP Serv pack 3, ATI mobility Video Card.
I also have SU 7.1 on a MAC OS X machine but the strange shade variations are not present.
Any thoughts?The Attached image is screen grab of one of the projects by the Blue Marble Project. I should note that i didn't apply any materials to the cabinet components, they all have the same color yet on screen the appear as if they have a slight color variation. It doesn't appear to impair performance but it is more of a visual annoyance. And interestingly the strange shade variation does not show up when i do a jpg export of the view straight out of SU.

That looks like there is some sort of material applied to the internal faces or to the exterior grouping at some level. It is more than just "shading" of the default material I tihnk. I could even just be back sided faces vs front sided faces. Is there any way you could upload the model?, or even just a portion of the cabinets?

I think if you reduce the scale of the texture can help ....

Thanks for the reply guys.
I don't know what the etiquette is on uploading 3d warehouse models in this forum but, there you are.I uploaded just the kitchen cabinets because the overall model appears to be too large. In any event, i am uploading and previewing the model from my Apple machine ( Mac Os X, SU 7.1 free) an i don't see the on-screen behavior i described above. However, opening the same model from my pc version of sketchup (7.1 Pro) yields the same strange shading behavior but again only on the screen. I am starting to think that there is some strange video-card-related snafu going on here.
if it is of any help the link to the actual model n the warehouse is:

I think its a video card problem. The model looks fine on my Nvidia card (i.e. not like your screenie), plus the only reversed faces in the model are on the cooker hood.

Yes I agee, it must be a video card issue with this mobility ATI. Thanks.
