Re: how to stagger a texture

Thanks a lot!! This is a workaround, had to do some tests to find settings for scaling & shifting of tiles & pattern and worked better with box projection in wave pattern.

Re: how to stagger a texture

Thanks for your reply,
I am talking about a tiling with offset in the next row, like a brick tiling instaed of square grid tiling. Best would be to set a value for the offset. Every once in a while I get a pattern with offset.

Thanks, Andreas

Hi,
great script, thanks!
I see some color fading into partitions when hash noise function is applied. I don't see this when other functions (eg unsigned perlin) are used but it's the same behaviour when a gradient texture is applied with hash. I'm using the OSL random ...

Re: Directional light with pattern

Hi again,
Is there really no way to set up an image projection that follows the normal space of an imported mesh surface in standalone? Seems to be such a natural thing?!

Best,
Andreas

Re: Directional light with pattern

Hi Beppe,
modeling software is adsk alias and auto csv export is not featured. Also I have to do it for every mesh seperately cause I still need individual materials for each light to be able to tweak size, intensity, color etc separately.

I tested the lua script for "Get information from a mesh ...

Re: Directional light with pattern

Hi Beppe,
thanks for your reply.
The idea was to test a workflow for an indoor scene with 70+ lights. In the way you described I have to manually extract and paste the x/y/z rotation values for each emitter mesh - a lot of work, am I right?

To me it is the same with IES files - you dont want users ...

Re: Directional light with pattern

Hi Beppe,

Would be great to get some help and to be able to have a ...

Re: Get information from a mesh node?

Hi,
I like this script, thanks!
Do you think it is posssible to get not only position but also rotation of a plane?

Best,
Andreas
