not matter what tutorial or material i import… EVERYtime i try and have some turbulant water ‘like for a pool’ … i only get flat glass types of water.
i’ve changed the displacement from 1-6 in the options tab… are there other settings that i need to make to show “noise” in the water.??? I’m totally lost and flagergasted.
Thanks,
Glenny
Re: water doesnt show ripples - displacement issues
Which units is set in you scene? the value of the displacement depends on that, i.e. if you use cm then value of 1 in displacement multiplier will be 1cm.
Re: water doesnt show ripples - displacement issues
units are standard… architecture - inches, feet etc.
Re: water doesnt show ripples - displacement issues
just did some test renders and no matter what size, units, materials… the water won’t do ANYTHING but look like glass…
this is killin’ me
Re: water doesnt show ripples - displacement issues
if you don’t have a diffuse texture on the material, UVs won’t be properly generated for the surface (this is something silly SketchUp does). Try following what I posted here: http://forum.asgvis.com/index.php?topic=8790.0
Re: water doesnt show ripples - displacement issues
So I just opened up a drawing in the architecture template (inches and feet) and used settings from about 4 different tutorials and STILL no ripples… no displacement… ???
and i have even imported TONS of Vray water mats and they also will not show any texture for the water.
Re: water doesnt show ripples - displacement issues
think i figured it out… i simply took the face that was the water… made a component out of it and then extruded it a foot or two… viola! worked
Re: water doesnt show ripples - displacement issues
if you want the surface of the water to have any sort of ripple or wave to it though, you’ll want to follow what I said in that other post. SketchUp’s UV system is just silly.
Re: water doesnt show ripples - displacement issues
You have to group the face with water material and then it will be working. Thats all.
