Eddi,

Take each screen shot and save it as jpg and make sure the size is under 200K bytes. Renderosity forums limit the size of attached images.

Then post each using the Attach a File: feature, beneath the text editor. Use the "Browse..." button to select the image you want to show us.

Do this once for each image.

If you have photoshop, the best way to compress is to use photoshop's "File/Save for Web" option. This uses better algorithms than "Save As" does. If an image cannot fit in 200K, reduce its size first.

But don't reduce matroom screen shots in size - then we can't read them. Just push the nodes closer together.


Can I also suggest this? Until you've successfully used displacement, you should try doing it with something we know works. Go to your figure. Attach a Turbulence node to the Displacement channel, with a Displacement Value of .5. Render your figure. If you do not see the displacement, then:

  1. Check that you are rendering with firefly
  2. Check that firefly "Use Displacement" is enabled

If it still doesn't show displacment, perhaps your display units are wierd, soincrease the .5 displacement value to 5 and render. If it still shows no change then increase the 5 to 50 and render. If it still doesn't show displacement, then I suggest you try pottery instead of computer graphics :biggrin:


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
