Render issue with LW About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. Render issue with LW // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by rjeff // Jan 25, 2008, 4:04pm rjeff Total Posts: 1260 Ok..not sure why it is rendering my reflections as you see below..but it is..and also certain HRDI maps erase my text around the drive bays. Why? Post by jamesmc // Jan 25, 2008, 6:14pm jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 I would try turning the camera view on the scene to see if you can get a different reflection. I would also check the refraction value on the top shader/texture for the box. For the HDRI erasing the text, it might be that the area around the text is the same color as part of the HDRI map and that's the portion that blends into the text. I would add a very slight bump to the text to see if that makes it go away and then reduce the chances of shadows on the text by making sure that face(s) are separate and not accepting shadows nor have a reflectance.

It seems that it only does the blurry reflections on the flat surfaces. The first is a LW render..the Second is Dribble. Dribble does smooth out the jaggies somewhat. Post by jamesmc // Jan 25, 2008, 8:01pm jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 Well, when you have lights in the scene and I suppose that would apply to HDRI as well, the color of the light matters if it bounces off a surface and especially a transparency. In the first image, I used a yellow light. In the second image, I used a red light (notice the text disappears.)
