PM me for email. Thansk so much in advance if anyone does this.
Hi all!
I am in a real pickle. I have a huge city I have modeled but I havent used SU in a while. I wanted a basic rendering proggie so I purchased lightup. The problem is I have no clue at all about light up and I dont know where to start. What I want to know is:
Im still having a lot of problems with light up.
-Lightup changes the colors of a lot of my textures
-Lightup seems to have problems rendering some of my components, some houses have transparent roofs, some entire buildings are missing. As soon as I turn off light up everything looks fine again.
-I still cant make the points light work in my city. Do they have to be a part of the components them selves or can they just be free floating??
This is a totally random question but everyone here seems very computer savvy so I figured it was worth a shot. I want to map a the letter T to the side mouse button on my mouse. Anyone have an idea of how to make that happen?
I lost the post but thanks for this info!
I tried jacking up the lumines(?) of the bulb exponentially but as far as I can tell they just are not "on". This is highly annoying for obvious reasons. Maybe the component im using is broke / wrong? Where can I get a known good point light component?
How do I reset everything? I seem to have set some materials to emitter status then forgotten which ones. I just want to start over.
Also my point lights dont seem to do anything. THe emiitter works "ok" but the point lights never emit light. Any ideas?
I might be able to do something with offset. If not I can get creative with multiple protrudes.
Now about these pesky layers. I can see a list of layers in the window but how do I add a group to a certain layer?
Yep once I was shown how to manipulate the texture everything fell into place.
Now yet another question:
How do I scale a bunch of planes PERFECTLY. What I want to do is this:
-Trace a bunch of buildings on a map then Protrude them.
-Then I want to select the tops of all the buildings and duplicate those horizontal planes.
-Now I want to scale them down porportionally just a tad and paste them back on top of all the buildings.
This would let me push pull the tops of the buildings to give them some detail. I tried the above steps but when I scaled down the roofs it didnts scale them down right so they didnt fit perfectly back in place...
Does the color of the faces you select to protrude tell it what direction to go maybe?
Here is a mini file. I cut it out of the big file and tested protruding it in a brand new file. It still goes upside down BUT it actually works properly instead of truncating the buildings like before. SO i was able to cut and paste it back into the main file as a workaround.
Still id like to know why it does into the ground...?
