I took the Herman Miller Aeron Chair that I had built and placed it in a "studio lighting" set-up based on the above thread (3 emitters only).

I'm liking the results so far, but I'm having issues with the clipmap not working on the chair fabric mesh? I've removed the clipmap for now and just applied a diffuse color. The diffuse material seems to be breaking down on the closest chair though? Any thoughts as to why?



demo38, even if the glossy plastic surface is quite 'sexy', the real chair 'plastic' material has an opaque surface which is slighly microbumped. as far as for the clipmap issue, no idea... sorry.

There maybe an issue with the SW used to export this 3D chair. It seems that some conversions sometimes screw up the meshes (do a normals check on your models)

Hope you find the problem

BTW fantastic render! :wink:

Clip map has some major issues. They're working on it. :lol:
