@unknownuser said: When you use a PNG file as a texture, how can you see through the holes with a renderer. Perhaps the opacity and a bump map ? It depends on the render application you use - so can't give you a more precise answer than that... In Kerkythea, Twilight and Thea it's the clipping channel... If you use a png texture with transparency (Alpha map) in Twilight, it will automatically make the transparency for you...

thats really cool! man i love holland the people there are great! fantastic atmosphere.

Models and materials looks weird...try improving them and render with higher presets.

TIG, From me to you because your solution has workt perfectly. Now i can manege my over more than 1000 textures.

Congratulations! Sounds good that you can start to play a little now

I was just kiddin' . . .Love them Dutch!! Chocolate, Edam cheese, Tulips, Rem Koolhaus

Very cool, Adam.

This is probably a better solution since there are different versions of Maxwell and SU. You should be able to download the plugin including the exporter here... http://www.maxwellrender.com/index.php/try/sketchup -Brodie

You can wrap an image clear around a curved shape...as long as the sides are vertical. In the attached file, an extruded circle has been rotated so that one of its flat sides is facing along an axis (therefore exactly parallel to the imported image). The image is projected onto that face. You then r-click the face, uncheck the Projected attribute of the texture, sample the face with the now unprojected image painted onto it, then paint all the other faces.

Hey these are pretty swell for the first go around. The first image needs more reflection, sit in your living room and just look at things, all the little things that reflect and are shiny, thats a good way to get into it. I would take the material off the door glass and get some sun streaming in there. Also, increase the pattern on the wall, or get rid of it, I dont think its helping the scene. We all start somewhere, I started with a great render then after that it seemed to crash for a while, must have been beginners luck, but with a lot of reading through these forums and practice you'll get there. Good job man!
