soooo - i'm not getting this.

i created an infinite plane - applied my texture to the infinite plane. hit render - nothing.

andy - can you explain the 8"=.125 ?

thanks

sorry for the late response. actually - the wooden model walking is the only 3d element. the remainder is an hdri. the slight shadow beneath the model was post via photoshop.

just tooling with hdri's on a friday night

Not even remotely sure where this idea began!

Nvil, also known as VoidWorld looks interesting - anyone use this yet?

oh and hey - i'm sure there's going to be the obvious reply that sketchup 'is' that software. maybe in being more honest - low poly isn't entirely my goal - just a cost benefit i thought.

affordable sculpting package then?

i've been modeling some stage setups and have been using '3d people' as props. there have been some scenarios in which i wish i could slightly alter the rigging of the people props.

then it occurred to me - is there a software program out there at reasonable cost where you could model, adjust as needed and export back to sketchup? lo-poly is okay with me - assuming it will probably be more affordable.

thanks in advance!

oh and regarding the spheres. my approach would be to increase the number of segments when creating your sphere - providing a smoother surface. an arc with about 48 segments is what i generally use for a fairly adequate smooth surface. hope that helps!

alright. some minor clarification.

panixia - i'm trying to understand 0,01 values. is that referring to (0 for both u/v repeat) and (0.1 for both u/v offset)?

also, the example you provided is a decreased value. am i actually needing to decrease my values in order to create a larger texture/pattern?

ATLAStudio - concerning perlin texnoise maps. should i adjust it to match the u/v repeat sizes? or does that not matter?

sorry for my confusion!

wow! that's exactly the intended look that i was trying to sort.

thanks to all!
