Good, I have done some test and get this. If I install the Brazil demo and than Vray, than I can use the mapping tool in Brazil, but not in Vray. Also, if I test Treefrog, than the mapping dosn't work. Also, if I install Brazil after Vray again, than the Treefrog mapping dosn't work too.

PS: I send this message to the Rhino newsgroup too.

Funny bug: I have used a wood material. Than I decide me to use a grey color only and disable "plugin" and enable "basic". Now, the color of the material is grey, but in the reflection of other objects the wood surface is still visible.

Tiling etc all works fine, but you still need to do the mat edit trick. Adjust the mapping mode, then edit material and hit apply.

Maybe you're using a very old brazil wip version? It's now 8.

This is actually a "feature". In order for a rendered viewport to evenly remotely resemble the final rendered output our materials fill in all the things in common with the "basic" material. So our materials will translate our reflection /refraction/ diffuse properties to the basic rhino material as closely as possible.

I have installed Brazil 8 and have try the edit trick - no effect.
Can you use a box mapping on a sphere?

Planar

Cylindrical

Spherical

Box

Surf. UV


Do we have to install Brazil to access the mapping tools? I thought we did get the McNeel's RCM mapping tools with VR for Rhino!!!

Maybe yes, didn't think ot that Do you have brazil installed? If not, it probably comes with vray too.

Hey Micha, a fwe builds ago I also couldn't get it to work while other people did. No idea why it suddenly works here. I had also a problem when using renderinwindow, then suddenly the texture mapping manipulations didn't come trough. But I can't reproduce it.

The glossiness map doesn't work. The map in that slot is there to replace the number value (black =0.0 and white=1.0 or the other way around). Currently the map has no effect at all.

Reflection map also doesn't work correctly. If I use a map with pure black and pure white parts, the white parts indeed reflect 100%, but the black parts return a black diffuse too. The black parts should be 0% reflective so their color should be the diffuse color (in my case a very saturated green which doesn't come trough at all).

I like the idea of the small and big "M" of the maps. Only the reflection/refraction and light maps show a "M" instead a "m".

An update - The mapping bugs are known issues to McNeel. They are working on fixes. No release date is promissed.

We will keep you posted.

Best regards,

Somebody needs to kick some butt over at McNeel, I wonder if they actually work there! You guys make vray in a few months, while they need like 1 years to create a 10% working Brazil I hope they don't wait for Brazil to be finished before completing the mapping tools.
