LuxBlend25 won't render Blender Textures :-/

Postby Crysii » Sun Nov 07, 2010 12:41 pm

Hey,

I have a problem with rendering Blendertextures in LuxRender25

The "Use Blender Texture" option doesnt do that what it should do....

Lil example.....

I create a nodded Texture in Blender node manager(or a default Texture...doesnt matter what kind of Texture....main point it is an Blender tex).......i want to use it with LuxRender25 to render it...

The Problem is LuxRender25 wont render BlenderTex altough the "Use Blender Textures" Option where turned on


Is the "Use Blender Texture" Option broken or did I something wrong?

The blender textures are 'float' (numerical) type and cannot be plugged directly into colour channels. For now, you need to create an additional mix texture and use the blender texture in the 'amount' channel.

Okay.... I hope i get it wrong cause the way i do it now doesnt work too-.-

I set up two Textures

One with the LuxRender "mix" Type(Lux and one with the "Use Blender Texture" and select "Voronoi" as Texture(Blender Tex)

I enabeled at the "amount" channel of the "mix" Tex the "Use Texture" Option and selected the second Tex....the Blender Tex

All values in the "mix" Texture where on default (see screenshot)

The Tex wont appears ._.

....hehe that was my fault :D

luxrender wont take the colourspace of the tex....i must set the colour seperatly in the "mix" thread :lol:

I've notice a second problem.....

To select the Blender Tex in the amount channel works good with default Blender tex's.....but dont work with nodded Textures

Are there any solutions?
