Vue F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Oct 17 8:34 am)
As far as the materials go, there is a workaround to your problem of not being able to select individual parts of your model. If your model comes in with these materials already assigned to it, then the materials are separate if you go to your materials summary (it's the button on the toolbar across the top that looks like two dots right next to each other). If you choose each one, you can either edit it to use a bitmap or you can change it to a procedural. Only that part of the model that has that texture will be affected. Then you can change the others as well. Your model may not come in with it's separate parts, but apparently your material layers did and you can change them that way :). I hope I've explained it in a way that you can understand and I hope it helps :). Also, you may want to try double-clicking your model in one of your views. It will bring up a box that will allow you to split the model by material. Just a warning tho...it may cause Vue to crash, so save first. I've only had that happen tho if there were tons of materials or if it had tons of polys. Laurie

Hi MUD, yep like Laurie said, use the Material Summary to reach the individual materials for the model. To achieve a shadow on the bed of the water, you need a bed for the shadow to land on. Either lower the ground plane to the depth you like, or select the water plane (and the boat) and raise them until the depth is what you like. To create a wake for the boat, that's probably easiest to do using a terrain object. Check out the tutorials at Laurie's website for creating objects of terrains. And, last but not least -- *nice* boat! That's a very good model! :)This site uses cookies to deliver the best experience. Our own cookies make user accounts and other features possible.
