I just tried to assign the white render material but it still show mesh color(I guess)! Thanks for your help!! 2012-05-09T09:45:24+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/rendermap-from-an-envelope/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/rendermap-from-an-envelope/page-last/#When:10:56:55Z This is going to be quick : Is it possible to do a rendermap of an Envelope? I mean to render the result you see on your screen when you push "W" after you have created an Envelope.

I´m looking for something like glow but dont really know how to do it. In the scene i have 2 layers and to lights. On the first layer i have both the cloud and earth texture, on the second one i have put in a incidence to create some earth effect but i dont really know if thats the way to go. Any help would be appriciated and any input of how i could improve my work would also be appriciated thanks! (First pic is what effect i would like to create, second is my work so far) 2012-04-01T05:46:42+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/cant-plug-mibblackbody-into-photometric-light-without-breaking-the-photon-connection/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/cant-plug-mibblackbody-into-photometric-light-without-breaking-the-photon-connection/page-last/#When:11:17:45Z If I take a mia_photometric_light shader, then plug it into the light shader port, and the light photon emitter shader port, THEN plug an mib_blackbody into the color port of the mia_photometic_light, it renders as expected. HOWEVER, when you reload the scene, the photon emitter shader port becomes disconnected, and there is no more photon contribution to the render via the light shader. If you unplug the mib_blackbody shader, you can redo the steps above to get it working again, but reloading your scene will always result in the mia_photometric_light disconnecting from the photon emitter shader port. The manual even suggests plugging in the mib_blackbody shader into the mia_photometric_light's color port, but its simply not possible. It would be nice if you could, because setting a proper color temperature per light is more appealing than entering an rgb value. 2012-03-31T11:17:45+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/rendermap-surface/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/rendermap-surface/page-last/#When:12:35:45Z Has anyone tried rendermapping a surface object in SI2012? Does not seem to work for me -I get a blank image. Polygonal models work fine, but not surface objects. Anyone else getting this? Anything I can do about it? 2012-03-05T12:35:45+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/painting-polygons---recreating-/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/painting-polygons---recreating-/page-last/#When:10:06:00Z [size=3]I would like to know how to recreate this effect [url=http://www.outside-hollywood.com/siggraph/]Painting with Polygons[/url] in Softimage ? I've tried several of my own techniques trying to mimic what is shown in the video with no success. I'd also like to know how it's done from within Maya as well just to see the differences even though I don't use Maya, hoping someone can show between the two.[/size] Thanx. 2012-02-28T10:06:00+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/textures-not-rendering-correctly/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/textures-not-rendering-correctly/page-last/#When:13:43:34Z Hello, I have built a model and applied many textures to it. However when I take a render preview parts of textures are missing. I have tried compleatly re-texturing them but it makes no difference. Attached is some screen captures.

I'm trying to model mountain panorama with some clouds / fog in the valleys - and this fog works perfectly, but then, when I apply the Sky shader, the fog disappears... Is there anyone willing to help an XSI beginner? ;-) thanks!

Is there workaround to retain dots in the scene token? It is because XSI cant use dots in names. Only exception is like separator of Model hierarchy. [Scene] token seems to read this ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Name 2012-01-16T11:44:56+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/ice-strands-shader/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/rendering/ice-strands-shader/page-last/#When:22:56:38Z Hello, I am trying to achieve the fireball effect such as in the first picture I attached. I have created ICE strands and sticked them to a ball. Everything works fine, but I cannot get the shader right. My particles look like this so far (no composition yet straight from Softimage). I would be grateful for any sugestions on how to achieve a shader that looks more like gas fire from the first picture. Kind regards Marcin 2012-01-06T22:56:38+02:00
