I know how to add textures from models in the "get models"-library, but what if I have, let´s say a jpeg picture and want to add this to my texture library. How do I do that?

A short step-by-step explanation would be very appreciated. I´m not great at this. Yet.

Makes sense. Thanks!

Alright, thanks.

Has no one of you heard of or encountered this problem?

Wow, nice! Thanks!

When I try to render a scene with override material on nothing happens. When override is not selected everything is fine.

Solution?

ps. It has happened once before. Most of the time overide material works as it should.

Thanks!

"If you scale a component you need to reset the scale of the instance or it will simply use the original size."

How do I do that? I don´t do anything and still it works something like every other time.

Oh man!! I see now that they ARE cast correct! It became sort of an illusion for me!

All´s well!

Thanks again!

Jimmy Bob, what..? The shadows should all cast in the same direction. I don´t understand. They don´t do that in the attached picture.

The PathTool plugin makes weird things. Sometimes the angle of the objects follow the path, sometimes not. Sometimes they follow the path in a size I just reduced them from.. This time the shadows were cast right from the start, though. Guess one has to accept minor bugs and do process over again.

Thanks anyway.

I used the PathCopy plugin. Great tool, untill I found out that the shadow cast from each post followed the path. Hardly something one would want.

Is there an easy way to fix this?

OK, so I should try inserting a rectangle light in the lamp post and using that, removing the spot light? I´ll try it. Thanks!

I have a lamp post with a spot light. The GI skylight is turned off, a spotlight is the only light in the scence. The spotlight lights up the ground, but I would also like to make the light cast some rays.

Is there a simple way to make the spot light cast rays?

Thanks!

OK, so I managed to get it transparent.

There´s one box for colour and one for transparency colour. Shouldn´t the transparency colour be a number in % instead? Less confusing than to grasp that a full white transparency colour means 0 transparency...

Hello wizards,

I have a car with windshields that are transparent (this is a new feature in modern cars).
I rendered the car in Vray and everything was fine, but then I changed the colour of the windshield in the Vray material editor and it´s not transparent anymore when rendered.

Tips?

Oh, right, now I get it! Thanks.

JESUS CHRIST, THAT WAS A NICE PLUGIN!

Thank you!

Hmm.. Well, that would be gray scale too as far as I can see. If you desaturate it fully there´s no colour left? Gray isn´t a colour. I´m probably the one not grasping this fully though.

Pbacot, that was a bit over my head.

I thought of saturation as it sort of works in Illustrator where you can "lower the amount of colour in colour". I might have been wrong, but the help with overriding material was EXACTLY what I was looking for anyway! One step at a time here
