Why is my paving so shiny?

[dorfpunk]

This has happened before and I can't actually remember what I did to fix/change it. I want to put natural sandstone paving/tiling in my model. I have used a pretty good texture that has worked pretty well in the past. I use a natural stone setting and well, it does this.

I would be totally happy to be told I am doing something really stupid and I am a fool if it willl stop this happening.

Probably back faces are showing.

No. I have definitely made that mistake before but that is why I have the entity info box there. I have put the same material on both sides of the face just to be sure. Still - I am getting silver paving

Just because you have the material on the front AND back faces doesn't mean you don't have the back side of the faces showing. Have you checked it in monochrome view to make sure you don't have the back faces showing?

In fact, having the material painted on both faces is a bad idea. If a face has a material painted on only one face (the face you can actually see in the model), Twilight will automatically detect the correct orientation of the face. But if you have the material painted on both sides, Twilight must assume that you have the front side visible. It's better to just paint the face that is visible.

If it is not a reversed face issue, it could be that the face is z-fighting with another face existing in the same 3D space.
If it is not these two issues, please email a small SketchUp scene with only the material demonstrating the problem paving to support at twilightrender dot com.

Which render setting is being used to render?
