Thread: carpentry in Carrara | Forum: Carrara

cckens ( ) posted Fri, 07 March 2003 at 11:55 AM

D., Looks like your Rotation point is set at the wrong point. The point of rotation should be set at the vertex where you want the rotation to take place. The Cyan color shows the vertex where rotation should take place. CTRL-ALT-Click on that vertice and it will reset the axes. Now this means that the vertices being rotated will rotate in the correct angle, but not that they will spread out to make it perfect in line. That would require you to resize the spacing of the vertices along the X and Y axes. It will definitely take some doing, but it CAN be accomplished. For a quick fix, use a standard 5x5x5 block set at 45 degree rotation on the Z axis and boolean it out of the moulding. It may create a few extra vertices, but it would solve your problem and create a straight edge. Ken ![dork.gif](http://market.renderosity.com/~carrara/emoticons/dork.gif)

WOW!!! When I originally purchased the Power Pack I thought that I had kinda wasted money as they included the Power Pack in Carrara. Now I see a whole host of new stuff that I can add to it to make C more interesting!!! Thanks Brian! Ken

Thread: Glass Table | Forum: Carrara

Well, If you're like my folks you go for the Kinda Translucent glass. This works well on an angle, but not so straight on. I used this one for the "Coffee and Donut" Contest a while back. Try it for shower doors, too. Ken ![dork.gif](http://market.renderosity.com/~carrara/emoticons/dork.gif)

Thread: 'Bones' twisting and turning oddly... | Forum: Carrara

cckens ( ) posted Thu, 02 January 2003 at 10:39 AM

Kelley, Joints, as a rule are notoriously tricky. When combined with bones, it can be a true nightmare. I've found that ball joints are hell with IK. Custom constraints, not so much but make sure that you have your ranges set up the way that you want and the rotation order in the right sequence, or you'll see your bones go crazy! BTW... never try to undo IK moves on joints. I've found it tends to screw up the initial positions of the bones. Another BTW.... REALLY COOl MODEL!!! Ken

My bad, just looked at the render again. But still, it's is what I'm looking for and yes that does answer the question. Just going to have to play with it and see what happens. Thanks Kix Ken

Thread: carpentry 2 + a couple of questions | Forum: Carrara

cckens ( ) posted Fri, 18 October 2002 at 2:27 PM

Max, "Smoke and mirrors...." That will pretty much answer your question. Both of them. Explanation time... From what I can see in the clock image it looks like you have multiple lights and the shadows from the clock are giving it that floating feeling. Try adjusting the light settings to see if this clears up the problem... As for the glass... let's face it... glass is reflective. For realism's sake you need to have a value or color in the reflection channel. You want to make sure that it is a low reflection setting and you may try to make the refraction as low as possible (zero is good, but it's not realistic). Just keep adjusting the setting until you see results. In my experience I have given up too early on some of my attempts at shading. I just learned to keep plugging at it until I am satisfied. My 2 cents.... Ken

Thread: "Circles" on the water | Forum: Carrara

cckens ( ) posted Thu, 10 October 2002 at 5:55 PM

Oli, Easiest way is to use a Circular Wave modifier on the water object and tweak it to the way you want it. I don't recommend using above 5% wave height as this would look rather weird in the mug. Hope this helps! Ken

Thread: Transparency and Refection | Forum: Carrara

cckens ( ) posted Wed, 09 October 2002 at 10:46 AM

Waldo, It seems that you are trying to get the light to reflect. Light in C (1&2) does not operate like the real world (one exception which I will get to in a bit). Light will not truly reflect off of reflective surfaces and will only go through transparent objects if the Light through Transparancy is checked in the Render Room. This adds to the render time immensely! The exception is in C2.x. The caustic renderer under Global Illumination WILL do reflected light, but at a high render time cost (more so than Light through Trans). You're almost better off doing a work-around. Place a spot light in front of the mirrored area pointing out and then test the render using Light through Transparancy. Don't know if this will help, and I know it is not the answer you were looking for... Best of luck and keep asking questions! Ken

Thread: Writing CDs That Autorun in Full Screen Mode | Forum: Carrara

cckens ( ) posted Wed, 02 October 2002 at 4:56 PM

If you want to test something, check out Rad Game Tools and their Bink encoder. This will port over to an EXE and can be configured to run at full screen mode. The tools are free but have a plug screen that adds to the end of the animation. Just a thought. Ken

Thread: Sizing/Re-sizing Texture Maps in Carrara | Forum: Carrara

cckens ( ) posted Tue, 01 October 2002 at 6:24 PM

OK, Kelley, Here's the 411 (or at least my take on it) When mapping to a cube where only one side is facing, you simply need to map to a single face. Change the mapping mode to Projection Mapping--->Flat Mapping, then select a single face. Use this as a basis for the texture map. You shouldn't need to tile the map and it should come out OK. The image shows a flat mapped cube with one side mapped only, and the settings I used in the shader editor. Hope this helps!

Thread: 10 Minute Challenge | Forum: Carrara

cckens ( ) posted Fri, 13 September 2002 at 11:14 AM

Once again, here's the second. The difference is the internal glass has an object that is also transparent and has a fluid-like index of refraction. But I hate those lines! Is it just a property of the refractions or what do you think? Ken ![dork.gif](http://www.renderosity.com/~carrara/emoticons/dork.gif)
