material problem in beta 4

[epinox]

I wrote this as a bug(sorry if its not) because when i downloaded beta 4 and used it all my 3ds are rendered as they are without texture. Am i missing something like the scale, but still they were all fine at beta 3

Ok - I’ll check that out when I get in the office today. Are you having issues with all textures? Or is this only happening when you import a 3ds?

Re: material problem in beta 4

with all textures. It is the same sketchup file i was usin with beta 3.

All textures; grass and tiles and even the texture in “face-me” model jeo.

The model isnt an import; I modelled it at sketchup 6

Re: material problem in beta 4

is it possible that all of your textures are tga files? I found that the Sketchup texturewriter does not seem to like tga files for some reason. I had changed the way I handle tga files - in beta 3 I would rename them internally so it would write out jpgs instead, but to speed up my scene parsing I stopped working it like that.

Re: material problem in beta 4

nope foexample the grass is Vegetation_Grass_Artificial.jpg maybe there is something wrong with the scale factors, but it wasnt supposed to effecct on a “face me” human model than, wasnt it?

Re: material problem in beta 4

I’m sorry - I’m not following what you mean by “face me”. Perhaps thats something I’m not accounting for? I’m a programmer, so I’m not completely up to date on all the different SketchUp features. Could you walk me through this?

Re: material problem in beta 4

its actually nothing its just a textured human model made with “face me” method (so i read at 3d warehouse). http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=7345c870f61d9993635c61634f8bfef4

Re: material problem in beta 4

could you post a picture of the trouble-scene? I downloaded the 2d picture and rendered it and it seems to work on my end - where did the artificial grass come into play?

Re: material problem in beta 4

It turns out like this in every render i take

Re: material problem in beta 4

ok I found out the source of my problem; when i take a material from outside the sketchup i seem to get proper render so my sketchup materials are messed up; i also have SU 6 and VFS installed on another computer and i take renders from my model in that computer just fine(with textures) but mine is all messed up…

Re: material problem in beta 4

I think i am losing it. I tried everything: I set the settings to the same as the settings on other computer: I even copied everyfile and pasted on mine but still the damn materials doesnt seem to show themselves textured

I setuped and removed all the programs again and again; there is only one solution left but to format the computer I think but i am afraid that the beta will not continue. I formated the other computer before with beta 3 on it and when i did setup it said no register file or somethin…

Help me Obi1, your my only hope!!!

Re: material problem in beta 4

One of the problem I noticed in Beta 4. Is that diffuse map (when using a image) switch all the time to channel 2 instead of 1 … As a result I have only the color of the map … nothing else. The switching between the map on that particular project i was working on seems to appear when I change the output size of the image.

Did anybody else had that problem ???

Find my answer in an other post… Thanks

That is very odd - I haven’t personally experienced anything like that with my builds. Can you tell me what is different between the two machines? Different versions of SketchUp? Different operating systems…something?

Beta4 dont work with texture scale, this is big problem, when this problem finish.
Please lookin results of beta4:

Ok - I’ll look into that, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Re: material problem in beta 4

the only difference is the problematic computer has also SU 5 on it ( because simple jpeg imports come out as black)

I seem to find a way to temporaryly fix it though; i use texture jpeg s from outside the SU: That way i the render comes out just fine…

Yep, I experience the same issue.
When trying to change the diffuse color of a vraylinked material, suddenly two channels are made automatically, one with the original texture and one with the color. However, only the color is rendered and not the texture.

Bug?

Re: material problem in beta 4

Whether there is posible, that problema maybe,that on a computer there is both skp5+V-Ray and skp6+V-Ray.

Re: material problem in beta 4

I deleted skp5 from computer, poblem still exist!
