I installed Flamingo nxt at work and it works fine, then I installed it in my laptop at home and it doesn't work. The images are flat with no shadows or shading. It doesn't matter how much time I let…Continue

This is probably something obvious, but I can't find it. How do you change the color of the rendering backgroud from black to an other color?Continue
Changing light positions on renderings

Is there a way to move the lights around on the actual rendering? If not, is that in the plans?

If you render something in wood and the grain is going the wrong way, how do you turn it 90 degrees?

Scott Davidson replied to Shane Stock's discussion Flamingo not working"When you are testing at home, are you using new models, you created at home? If open a new model, draw a box on a rectangle, does it render properly?
I would go to the lighting tab and see if the HDRI image is showing as the sky.

I installed Flamingo nxt at work and it works fine, then I installed it in my laptop at home and it doesn't work. The images are flat with no shadows or shading. It doesn't matter how much time I let it cook-- the images just stay flat. What could the problem be??See More
Pat Tanner replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"once I created the 6 surfaces and joined them to create a closed polysurface I then pick the material, assign by object to the closed polysurface then go to Properties and set mapping to surface and tweak the UVW rotation and UVW repeat…"
Mike Calvino replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"Thanks Pat, my form was extruded from a closed polyline (the end profile) & is a closed polysurface. What do you mean "texture mapping set only once"?
Thanks for the insight.

Pat Tanner replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"Calvino,
The first example was 2 single surfaces,
I'm guessing looking at your model is is a series of surfaces which have been trimmed, joined etc.(it looks like the top seat surface is made up of at least 4 parts)
Try creating it as a single…"
JAMES C BEAVERS replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction""I'd have to break up the object where it splits & set up 2 different materials, one rotated 90, the other not."
I could be wrong but that is precisely what you have to do. Your image would require 4 objects and 2 materials,…"
JAMES C BEAVERS replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"It would be welcome if, like FL2, when you edit a material the option to save as a new material was an option. This is very clumsy in next.

Mike Calvino replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"So Pat, that's not a single surface, but two separate surfaces right? I'm trying to figure out why it is rotating the material in the middle of my polysurface. I understand that you can rotate the material 90deg by using the UVW…"
JAMES C BEAVERS replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"I usually create a new rotated image and create a new material.

Pat Tanner replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"Hi Sam,
The way I do wood grain or any textured material is as follows, not saying this is the right way but it works for me :
Firstly open Nxt control panel and select add new textured material.
Select the image file you want as the texture and…"
Sam replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"Thanks pat, can u provide a more detailed explanation or tell me what I'm doing wrong because i cant get it to work, steps im following are;
select a default wood material
right click - assign to selected objects
properties - flamingo…"
Pat Tanner replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"Firstly assign the material by object, not by layer, then select the object and under the properties tab select Flamingo Nxt and set mapping to surface. Then select the mapping settings in properties and change the UVW rotation. Usually setting W to…"
Mike Calvino replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"Thing is Hans, that changes it globally for that material, in other words, all of the maps of that material will be rotated. here's what's happening right now: The grain switches at some point on the object and I cannot control…"
Hanscalderon replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"Go to the advanced settings, texture properties and then to the advanced tab, under orientation just change the rotation........."
Mike Calvino replied to Shane Stock's discussion Changing wood direction"What I do is make two different materials with one rotated as Martin said above, then make two different layers with the objects having different grain directions on them & attach the respective material to it depending on grain direction.…"
