well, I am not very satisfy with that one... I knew for the clip map bug, but I thought the smoothing when there is a map was resolved.... it looks like not...

BTW, do we have now to model the leaves of trees with real thickness... I mean for a couple of leaves, that is OK, but for ten tree... it kills the poly count that was alreday so high sometimes... these olive tree leaves I made with thickness, SSS, clip map in the transparency channel in LW..

.... but for now I'd like an answer for the smoothing & maps ...
If I remove the map, looks good... I think....

[Hervé]

now look at these...

the grey pot has a square simple grey 25% map applied as a cylinder Y
(perfectly seamless off course (in case someone doubts my map is seamless)

other tests with a pro texture (www.arroway.de)
Once applied with a uv map
and also as a cylindrical map....

what's the deal... am I doing something wrong.. I try directly in LW rendering and F_Prime... no problem...

I'd really appreciate if someone could make any comments....

Hervé,
Bumpmapping and clipmapping are not working properly and they are KNOWN ISSUES.
They'll soon be fixed...

[Hervé]

Oops, I did it again...

really sorry for exposing WELL KNOW issues... no really Tom, I knew for the clip map, but I did not know for the Bump issue...I thought it was resolved with the beta.. looks clear like crystal water now...

Thanks Tom !! You really are the Maxwell Guardian Angel... take it as a compliment..

no problem you're looking so good upside down there on your avatar
take this as a compliment and start to grill some sardines while they're being fixed

[Hervé]

I'll make some nice grilled Sardines... but now every time I eat Sardines , I am thinking.... well Tom... Maxwell.... renders... Is there a cure Doctor..? hehe

Cheers Tom...

As soon it is fixed, I promess to render a Sardine... I'll have to....
