Isn't there a way to show your environment map directly on your model? It's pretty tough to show a chrome-like material if it just shows up a solid color in the viewport.
I did some searches, but must be searching for the wrong things because the only thing I could find was how to show the environment in the Background of the viewport, but nothing about on the model/material.
I have a hdri image in the environment map slot that I want to use for illumination and reflection purposes but I don't want it to show in the actual render, is there a way to do this? I've tried adding the hdri to a skylight but it doesn't give the reflections. I'm using mental ray by the way I know in vray you can use a map for overall reflections and one for overall GI is there a similar way for Mental Ray?hide in actual render?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've generated my steel frame model using a skeletal model technique. So my part file consists of only sketch lines representing where I want my steel to be placed. I've created an assembly and used that in my inventor.dwg file.
The problem is that I need to dimension to the sketch file and not to the model shapes because the sketch lines define the center of gravity. These lines aren't visible even though I've right-clicked on the content and selected "Get Model Sketches". How I can get my skeletal model through to the DWG environment?
Is there a way to show the description for something. Let say i made a bridge and i wanna show the description on the model that the length is 10M and the base should be this and that. i wanna show the instruction on the model so the next person who works on the project knows what this object is and what is does. it's like a blueprint.

I loaded in a lambert with a psd file on the model.
But none of my drawing from the psd file will show up on the model.
All lines in model space appear thicker when I zoom in.
how to change this behaviour so they show the same weight thin in the computer window?
There must be a way to get the line weight to show in model space. It shows up as specified in print preview and printed, but not on the screen. Is there a setting for this?

I already tried MSLTSCALE = 1 in model space and PSLTSCALE = 1 and LTSCALE = 1 in paperspace.
it did not work.
I've been using AutoCAD for a while now, started with 2011 and now I'm using 2012. However, the one issue I've never been able to resolve is how to get my linetypes to show in model space properly, and then how to get them to show the same way in paperspace.
I know it has something to do with, at least, LTSCALE and PSLTSCALE. I've never know the 'formula' to make those work - it takes a lot of trial and error before they work together. Is there a trick to just making all of this work, without changing scales and regenerating countless times?
The current drawing I'm working with; I'm drawing in 1:1, with my viewports set to 1:100. My LTSCALE is 500, and my PSLTSCALE is set to 0. That seems to make things 'work' but, I can't figure out how to always just make these values work.
I should add I've checked the forums for a 'magic' answer and, there doesn't seem to be one. Is this the way it really is? I thought AutoCAD would be a little more intuitive than just 'trial and error until it works'.
I'm looking for a way to hide a layer in model space, but show it on ONLY my paperspace tab. Problem is, most of my work is in model space (different aspect of this drawing), and although I could pull the objects through to the paperspace tab, it just wouldn't be the way I feel it should be (3d objects should stay in model space imo). However, for the most part I don't need to see it in model space (except for checking 3d elevations of line segments), the finish product is a printed 2d top view.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to export from an Inventor .dwg or .idw made up of various views (either made from an Inventor .ipt or .iam) to an AutoCAD 2000 or later .dwg, and have the objects modeled in the Inventor .ipt/.iam that is shown in these views to already be shown as blocked entities when the AutoCAD .dwg is created. Also it is important to have the scale be exactly 1:1 from the Inventor drawing to the AutoCAD drawing that is created, so that no resizing/scaling is necessary. Is it possible to create such an AutoCAD 2D drawing from any release of Inventor and if so, what are the steps/procedure for making it???
I know that the solid model of an .ipt or .iam can be made to show blocked edges that appear as a block so why not two steps further and have this capability translate through to an .ipt or .iam Inventor drawing to a save copy as AutoCAD drawing???

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a plan that contains an xref with some elements that are not visible in paper space at my chosen scale. The xref is an annotated structural grid. It is entirely visible in model space, but in paper space only the grid is visible, annotations such as dimensions and section cut indicators are not. Strangely, or maybe not, when I change the scale in paper space, these elements appear.
Other presentation tabs exist, created by other people, that use a different scale and those presentations properly display. The annotations are blocks in the xref document, and I wonder if those blocks could somehow be set to only display at a certain scale. I don't see any such options in the block editor. Although, I have added to this document, I did not create it, nor the xref or the blocks.

I have been fighting with geforce driver and configuration issues on vista x64 business and I keep seeing suggestions to set these variables
MAYA_SLOW_DRAWPIXELS = 1
MAYA_NO_VERTEX_ARRAY_SELECT = 1
MAYA_GEFORCE_SKIP_OVERLAY=1
MAYA_HOTBOX_USE_SOFTWARE = 1
But I cannot find them documented in maya 2012 so I am concerned that they are not implemented.
It's always low and there are no apparent way to make it use the full resolution. I love the renderer, but this little thing is very annoying. I have to composite multiple layers every time I need an image background in the environment.
Apparently there was a hack of sorts involved to force it to use less the full resolution I found on Youtube, but it really doesn't apply to me as I do want to use the full resolution. There should be an obvious setting for it somewhere, maybe in the render tab of the render dialog.
I've currently got a daylight system in place with an "mr physical sky" shader, but I've also got a 360° sky panorama with clouds.

I've tried putting the map on a Geosphere with a circular UVW map modifier and have tried adjusting the opacity but I can't work it out.
It's best to close all images you have open in Gimp.
[*:261ukphj] Click Windows > Dockable Dialogs > Patterns and find the Stone pattern. Right-click the Stone pattern and Open Pattern as Image. Close the Patterns dialog.
About the Stone pattern: You do not have to use a pattern for this. I chose the Stone pattern because it is bundled with GIMP and everyone has it in their patterns. You can use any pattern or any image that isn't a pattern. This tutorial is just to show you how to make the text and you can choose any image or pattern to use as the environment map. Open whatever you want to use before creating a new image for the text.
[*:261ukphj] Open a new image, 500 x 400, and name the Background layer, bump.
Fill the bump layer with white.
[*:261ukphj] Select your Text tool. I used Sans Bold Italic at size 155 for this tutorial. Any font will do - a moderately heavy one works best.
[*:261ukphj] Click the image window and in the Text dialog type GIMP or whatever you want.
[code]......
Note about the Lighting Effects plug-in. If you use it more than one time and try a different pattern in the current GIMP session you will very likely get an Error message. It doesn't understand what you did with the first pattern you used. Click the OK button to get rid of it.
If it is possible to see in Photoshop what an image will look like when it is out in the un-colour managed world?I can see how you can do it if you are saving for web because you can preview it in a browser, but is it possible to do this with TIFs and PSDss ?
I have a wide color gamut display and even with it set to sRGB color mode emulation, sRGB tagged images that look correctly saturated in Photoshop look over saturated once out of it and in an uncolour managed environment - particularly the reds. If I can replicate this environment in PS I can edit the colors to make them more neutral looking.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm relatively new when it comes to 3D applications.Basically, I have created a scene of the Earth from space, and have managed to create a relatively good looking still image.
However, for my project I need a full 3D environment map, and so far I have been unable to produce this with the environment map option in the rendering tab. Basically when moving the camera, the background stays exactly the same, but I want the background image to pan aswell - having a fixed image makes no sense when panning around a 3D scene if I'm being clear :/
I tried to use video post, but every time I try to execute the render Max hangs on "Transforming Vertices". It does this on full scenes and totally blank scenes, but so far has only done it when rendering a camera view, not perspective. The only way out of Max is to close it from the task manager when this happens. I searched all day yesterday for a solution to this, but the only thing I could find was to alter the bitmap pager, which 2011 doesn't allow customization of.
So after I gave up on Video Post ever working, I rendered the inside of a tube with a star map. I have problems with the texture looking right when I do this however, it looks stretched, blurred, and the joins between faces are very apparent.how to make an environment map fully wrap around the scene, and pan with the camera.
