 | | Lgeo parts come out different colours?
|
|
Hello, These are 2 identical scenes; the only difference is that the *lower* shot has "use LGEO parts" ticked. (I'm using L3PAddon) (URL) prompted, password = "lugnet") The colours shouldn't vary, should they? Gabriel (18 years ago, 23-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

I've posted 2 new "special effect" short clips of new stuff rendered in POV-Ray. The scene files are available for download as well. The Moth fighter jet is something I made and have been using to test explosions. I've finally "finished" it to my (...)

(...) Thankyou gentlemen. I didn't realise that Antialiasing was an option in Povray. Then - found it was ALSO an option in LSP-Addon. Now that I've turned it off in both, I've got over my issue :-) PS - I'm afraid using "alpha channeling" is a bit (...) (18 years ago, 18-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.ray)

--SNIP-- (...) To add to this, make sure you have a neutral background colour set when you do this. The background colour does still have an effect on certain aspects of the rendering (albeit a small one). Tim (18 years ago, 18-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) It is the antialiasing that is causing this problem. I think there are only two ways around this. Either turn off antialiasing, or switch from chroma-key compositing to transparency-based compositing and make the background transparent. You (...)
