Re: Polished concrete Prelim Vs Easy 09

I was using the perfect reflection">polished concrete - I don't see the "advanced reflection">polished concrete (Hobby version, perhaps?)

I've upped the shininess to 200 and I'm just rendering that out currently.

Re: Polished concrete Prelim Vs Easy 09

Is there another material asset I need to add in order to render glossiness in Easy 09-10?

Polished concrete Prelim Vs Easy 09

Hi all,

I'm rendering an interior scene with the template polished concrete. The concrete looks realistic with Prelim, but in Easy 09, even after several hours there is just no glossiness to the material.

Am I missing something?

Re: Glass shadow?

The way around this is to move the image further away so as not to cast shadow on the scene, but then upscale the billboard to appear correct size. Another way is to change the sun angle, if that is convenient. This is what I ended up doing and works quite well. It is only really for reflections et...

Re: Glass shadow?

Regarding the texture sizes, I found a good plugin that will resize texture to a desired pixel ration. I opted for 1024 which helped reduce file size. On the background images which cast shadows, on Easy 09 how could I set this as to not cast shadows? I understand the fake emitters won't work on any...

Re: Glass shadow?

Thanks for that, I have made those changes but I'm still finding the same odd shadowing being cast on the same worktop surface and a timber material. The background image seemingly isn't affecting this.

Re: Glass shadow?

I have a plane in SU with a image on it so that my building has a background context and also to add reflections etc. to the scene. After turning this off, it helps with the shadow issue but not completely. How would I retain the background image so that it's seen in the render but twilight/SU doesn...

Glass shadow?

I'm having a issue with single-face glass causing shadows on certain materials, is their anything obvious in the settings I have? I'm using sky portals too.

Easy 09 - the render shown below wasn't anywhere near finished but a previous one at 3 hour has the similar issue.
