Was hoping someone could help/show me how to properly map a seamless texture around a surfboard. I've tried a few different mapping techniques, including UVW, but no success.

Attached is a ZIP that includes the model and a test texture.

I appreciate the help!

Gene.

I have a material with a gradated alpha applied. It works fine except when I have a softbox light pass behind the object with said material applied. For some weird reason, wherever the light is behind the object, the object appears white. NOT gradated to invisible. Can someone think of what might be wrong?

Thanks.]]> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:52:07 +0000 http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/53440-alpha-material-issue/ Looking for this http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/53433-looking-for-this/

I have searched the web for some advice but I can't find anything ... I'm just trying render image again and again with different options but I can get the transparacy glass :(

I was wondering if anyone could offer an opinion on this. I've been trying to recreate the faux-leather look in the attached image for a while now, mostly to no avail. I've been starting with a Voronoi 3 noise generator (with the high clip set rather low- anywhere from 15% to 35%) pushed through a distortion shader, with a second noise generator as the distorter- and I can *almost* get something usable as a bump map or displacement map, but it's never quite there. The base layer (color, diffusion, specular, etc) is simple enough to construct. It's the bump map (or displacement) layer that's killing me here. It's almost like Veronoi 3 is too "perfect" for the job.

Does anyone have any suggestions for recreating this texture procedurally in C4D?

Cheers,
-SC

Here you can see the error.

Here is the mesh, you can see that there is no edge creating the shading problem.]]> Fri, 23 Jul 2010 17:20:32 +0000 http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/53390-weird-shading-facet/
