Don't You Just Hate It When...........

......you are ready to start rendering a new project, and you recall a texture or material you have used before......but can't remember how you did it....??

......*IT PAYS TO TAKE NOTES*.......!!!



this might sound kind of cruel, but I hope I'm not the only one who has been in this situation....!!!

been there, done that.
In the U.S. they say, "Well, there's a hundred ways to skin a cat."
Maybe if we had a script that collected all the materials in a scene onto a sampler grid... a plane with several squares, and each square would contain a sample of each mat. used in the .skp model... then you could save that grid as a sort of project material archive. don't know if it would help in this particular situation or not...

I guess this can be the Twilight D'oh thread.

I have been trying for the past 30 min. to get a bank of flight information screens to be fake emitters.
I tried everything short of posting a question here. I started to type my question when it dawned on me
that I might not have checked the "face orientation".
Of course the flight info board was "water tight" so I did not get a light leak when I was lighting up the interior of the board...

Another lesson learned.

And that's why the "Monochrome" button in SketchUp is one of my favorite...

...when I was lighting up the interior of the board...

I feel your pain.

it is comforting to know it happens to you guys too....!!

....I find the busier I get, the less likely I am to take notes, or if I take notes I don't file them with my other notes, or scribble them down quickly on spare pieces of paper......or worse still, I write them down so quickly I can't understand what I've written.....!!!!
