Re: Fence

I supose the best way would be clipmaps, but not sure if they work properly in Vray

Re: Fence

Re: Fence

make a su material and map the fence as you normally would.
make a linked material
add another layer and put the fence map and the alpha map
change the transparency of the original SU material so that its invisible
render

Re: Fence

When i turn it to transparent it won't work; but i got it working with the transparency in sketchup off. I don't know what's wrong with it. But at least you provide me with a clue to get it working. Thanks!!

Re: Fence

Does using a PNG as a link material would help? never tried it tho

Re: Fence

I did recently a project with the same fence.
Just did a Vray material (no linked) with a PNG as a texture , tweaked the scale a bit and rack'n roll
No problemo..

What kind of texture you used and how do you tweaked the scale? I'm doing this way too.

Thank's for any further help.

Re: Fence

Hi Pedro,

I used the PNG texture from Sketchup library (Diamond meshe)
You can tweak the scale with the Vray settings (scale/rotate/..) inside the material panel.

I'll try to upload a test image I did...
