"Chroma Key" Texture Anomaly

I searched and went through the FAQ but it seems no one else had this problem. I resolved it on my own but in the event it happens to you when working with others who use less than ideal practices in SKP/Photoshop, please read on: If you ever get something like a Green Screen or Pink Screen or White...

Re: Easily calculate how many pixels you need for a good print

Hi Ecuadorian -- I'm unclear what you mean by this formula.. can you please provide an example? I have been doing renders of 3,000 pix (actual size is 3,000 by 1378), which, when I put into an A3 landscape template in InDesign (whose graphic box dimensions are 380mm long by 180mm high) I usually get...

Re: Lightbox Effect?

Thanks Fletch. This design got thrown out soon after my last post so I stopped working on lightboxes. :roll: It was a good tutorial for me for Twilight though ;) However, I did use what you suggested (using fake emitters) in another render and I was able to get a good lightbox impression without tax...

Re: Rotating Textures + Ghost Textures problem...

Thanks Fletch, I appreciate it :)

I noticed that the FAQ is quite detailed. :clap: Perhaps a more visible link would be in order, because, you know, the FAQ is in little letters as a subforum...

Re: Lightbox Effect?

Wow! You actually made a copy of the model??? :rspkt: The most difficult type of scene to light is, for me, an evening shot. (So you picked a nice scene to start with. :lol: ) Yes, well... I need/ed to test the capabilities of Twilight Render; best way to do this was to dive feet first into the deep...

Re: Rotating Textures + Ghost Textures problem...

Thanks Fletch and Frederik, you're both right. Reversing the face and painting the correct texture on it did the trick. I have a question about the group texturing problem; is what I attached as an image an example of this? SU shows that the back face (which I reversed here) is the default blue, but...

Rotating Textures + Ghost Textures problem.[RESOLVED]

I noticed that Twilight has either ignored the SU textures or rotated them completely. Is this an SU alignment error or can I fix this somehow? Obviously for paving patterns this is quite important... rotating textures problem.jpg I've also noticed that Twilight has replaced some textures that may h...

Re: Lightbox Effect?

oh dear. I was hoping for a radio button or checkbox solution :) but thank you Fletch. What's the average learning curve time needed to reach a fair level of expertise in Twilight?

Lightbox Effect?

I'm trying out the demo version of Twilight Render on Sketchup Pro 8. Right now I'm trying to simulate light boxes in a central business district streetscape. It took me a while to figure out a solution, but I'm using the Light Emitter template for the lightbox (I was trying to use a light within th...
