  • Edge texture for reflection only?

    Hi,

    I tried to use the edge texture for round corners (bump) and it looks like the round corner effect is visible for reflections only, not for the diffuse lighting. Is it right so?

    Simple test - create a cube and apply a plastic material. Add a edge texture to the bump slot. If reflections are enabled, the round corners are visible, but if reflection are dimmed the sharp diffuse lighting stay visible.

    Attached example shows the same material, but at the right cube reflections dimmed.

    New test - fresh generic material instead the old VfR2 material based on a diffuse and reflection layer. A light round edge effect is visible. Is it right so? At the help pages it is looking so perfect.

      Hello,

      I assume you have used CUDA?
      There is slight change in the CPU/GPU results which can be amended by adjusting the material reflection glossiness value.

      Kind regards,

        I don't know anymore. I suppose so it was a CPU based test. Could you make a quick test at Rhino with a cube please - doe's it look good?

        I have seen a note at the help page now - maybe the problem was caused by the blinn issue. (At the moment I have no v3 running to do a quick test.)

          Wasn't able to produce any faulty results.
