Re: Twilight Render Manual Feedback (V1.2 and 1.6)

Many, many thanks for all the work to update the manual. Since the News forum does not allow Replies, here are some nits that I encountered (V1.2 and 1.6): Page 31 of 54: no explanation of “welded Vertices”. Page 33 of 54: no explanation of what “scratch maps” are: just that you should add them. Pag...

Re: Learning WIP

Tweaked the pavers to be textured with actual color scheme.
Dropped the exposure a click: may be a tad too dark.
Re-did the back yard (but, of course, that doesn't show in this view :lol: )

I guess I'm pretty much done!!

Re: Learning WIP

I fixed the roof: I tried individual "tiles", but that brought my computer to its knees. I settled for photo realistic for actual color and texture. The trees on the street that Ecuadorian helped me with are very close to the trees that are actually there. I only wish our house was located...

Re: Learning WIP
