What is the best way to do a tv screen..

[jodestroy]

Is there any trick i dont know to do a tv screen. I try MTL light and it,s not working.

Cause in real tv screen, we have the reflexion of the space and we have the glow of the sceen itself.

How did you manage it? Any trick that could be useful?

thanks

you could use a shellac type material.

Vray light material with the image of your screen on, then model a piece of glass in front of it. Like a real tv would have.

Yup or do as an actual tv does and have a screen surface and a glass surface that has a thickness in front of it.

u can also raise the rgb output of the underlaying image

does anyone use Vray2sideMTL to do it?

[Neilg]

Pointlessly slow, and i'm not sure how well it'd work. Shellac would be best if it has to be one material.

Why cant you just model it?

[jodestroy]

we can model everything, but we try to go faster.

and we try to avoid the post-prod on this detail... ( with PS )
