Okay, I tried that willow tree (Vue 5 Pro Studio) and on top of having the same problem other people had where I have to move the anchor point every time I load it, it does not render properly. it shows up fine in the OpenGL preview on the screen, but rendering, tried preview final and superior and always the leaves are screwed up beyond belief.

Hre's the render, I tried making a palm tree before and had the same problem, all other plants work fine, only it seems when I try to customize the leaf materials.

Strange, although I made it in 4 Pro originally it still renders OK in 5.

At the above link is a zipped .veg of it. Try that and let me know if that works, if so I'll upload a link to freestuff.

OK found a workaround for anyone having problems like Llyr's above. Edit the leaf mat and change the mapping mode from 'object standard' to 'object parametric', this completely messes up the material preview but fixes the render problems. john

The workaround didn't work for me unfortunatley, and your .veg was an improvement though still shows the striping circled above. Plus it wanted a jpg for the texture that wasn't included. Thank you for your help though.

Llyr, had you opened the leaf editor before you rendered? That seems to be where it goes wrong. As far as the jpg goes I'm totally puzzled by that, the texture is embedded in the .veg file. I'll go away and try again now.

Well I can trade leaf materials among all the trees that came with Vue with no problem at all (i.e cut from one, paste in another), it's only customized maps that seem to do this. I think I only opened botanicals on your file because of the error on loading, interestingly the alpha WAS imbedded, I just changed the overall color to get it to render green.

jwhitham ( ) posted Thu, 03 March 2005 at 3:15 PM

OK, I'm going to pass the file over to e-on to have a look at. There has to be some reason why it works fine with 4 Pro but not 5, and I can't find it. :(

Llyr ( ) posted Thu, 03 March 2005 at 3:21 PM

Meanwhile I loaded up your willow again and rendered it without going into botanicals and it didn't get the artifacts, of course the leaves are black... Guess I have to take it up with e-on as well.

jwhitham ( ) posted Thu, 03 March 2005 at 3:32 PM

Hmmm, a willow with black leaves isn't too useful... then again maybe on the banks of the Styx... Seriously though, it should be ok to edit the materials, it is just the leaf editor that screws it - open and ok that, even without changing the hooking point, blam!

Llyr ( ) posted Thu, 03 March 2005 at 3:35 PM

Oh it's happening to you too?

jwhitham ( ) posted Thu, 03 March 2005 at 3:35 PM

Sorry, just reread your post before last. Are you saying that you get problems with other custom maps?

Llyr ( ) posted Thu, 03 March 2005 at 3:36 PM

Oh it's happening to you too? And yes I went into the material editor from the material browser and changed the overall color and everything is hunky dory still with the render.

Llyr ( ) posted Thu, 03 March 2005 at 4:27 PM

Yes I tried to make a royal palm from a coconut, everything worked fine until I tried using texture maps from another Royal Palm model for the leaves.... then haywire

jwhitham ( ) posted Thu, 03 March 2005 at 4:48 PM

Thanks, I thought it must have to do with the bitmaps, though I can't see what yet.
