Dammit, joe! I'm trying to browse this site in a 114 x 38 pixel window. Knock off the huge graphics!

It's annoying on these small screens having to scroll down to see if the smiley is smiling or sad. lucky they have eyebrows.

Argh SSS is turning up black?

zsouthboy · Post by **zsouthboy** » Sat May 12, 2007 11:45 am

Problem:

The matDB preview scene no longer exposes UV set?

This is what I get when I attempt to preview:

Code: Select all

Fatal Error: SceneLoaderExcep: TextureUnitExcep: The texture 'previews\..\bump_plastic.jpg' could not be bound to uv set with name 'uv', because that uv set was not exposed in an expose_uv_set element.

Make sure to enable transparency in the exporter.

But what if I don't want it to be transparent? I tried using transparence but it always came up too transparent. How do I make it less transparent, full colour gain doesn't work. Well I don't know if it should since I don't know what it does but I thought it might help lol

If you want less treansparency use an IOR of 1.0 and you will see...

Anthony:

your scene scale also matter when enabling SSS.

Question...

Why aren't the material attributes named the same as they are in the Indigo Tutorial page? An example would be for a Phong shader. On the Tutorial page, Phong has three attributes...

Code: Select all

The <diffuse> colour (basic colour) 
The <specular> colour (specularity colour) 
( specular govers the relfectance. higher values makes the material reflect more )
The <exponent> glossyness  (0 = very glossy, 5110 = non-glossy, or anything in between)

In Blendigo they are listed as this...

Phong Color, Albedo, Bump Map and Exponent. On top of that, Albedo, Bump Map and Exponent all have an "Exponent" factor and an A, B, C value??

Are there any tutorials that explain the differences between the old way of defining materials and the new way Blendigo does it?

Thanks!

I have modified the zuegs' exporter for using diffuse_transmitter. Try it out

EDIT
Fixed blended diffuse_transmitter material

Blendigo does not seem to work with Blender 2.44 ...

zsouthboy · Post by **zsouthboy** » Tue May 15, 2007 1:15 pm

neepneep:

It works fine for me.

You probably don't have python 2.5 installed (2.43 req'd python 2.4)

Thanks ! , I installed python 2.5.1 and now it works
