Surprise bonus material competition (CLOSED)

Mon Feb 07, 2011 11:57 pm

I was thinking, shouldn't there be a 'standard' imager settings defined, under which people should create materials for the LiveDB - so that we get consistency across it? If you tweak your material under kodakchrome where it looks "just right", but the user renders with some different response curve, the end result could look very different. This is especially true for macros whose color parameters can't be changed from outside.

Bamboo wood 1

I tried to add this to the live db but I think their maybe a problem with the wood cat, I was able to upload a few plastics today but the wood ones wont show.

Also the forum admin may need to add the ocs file to the upload.

Hi,

It might be a good idea yeah, however i would'nt enforce it as then people would need to start making modifications and rerender stuff...

Hey,

We found the issue, just don't use any ' characters in your material descriptions or any other fields.
Here's more information about it: http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... =24&t=5285

We're repairing the damaged materials already submitting right now, so everything should be fixed soon.

Hey,

Maybe you lost your internet connection temporarily ?
Try again?
Did you submit it just before ?

BTW, please keep the topic about the comp, post technical issues in the support forums...
