Spherical Mapping in PhotoWorks--- arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhew Has anyone got a step by step guide on how to do this? I can not get the poles to line up no matter what I do. Regards John Layne
Thanks Rob That was the guide I was working through. I can not get the mapping to align not matter what boxes I check or numbers I enter. After doing a Google search, on this group, I found Ed Eaton was having the similar trouble some time back. http://makeashorterlink.com/?N1143118B I was hoping someone had figured it out. I have succeeded with the "Enable spherical environment" but was trying for more control with mapping materials to a room-- without any success. Regards John Layne PS have been keeping an eye on your site, looking forward to learning more. Still thinking of switching to Maxwell render - they may update their software more often.
I feal your pain John - I get a sinking feeling everytime I turn on PW - and in the sw2006 I tried the reflective background etc was completely bust - I hope the final 2006 sp0 version it is fixed. The maxwell plugin for sw2006 is out and works of a fashion - the improved plugin is expected literally in days. Textures are now possible using the SW textures but decals are still under development. Render times are faster but still not fast - however as an example I am designing a product that is white and in PW it is a nightmare getting it looking right - but one render in Maxwell (even full of noise) was enough to convince a client that the shape was the way to proceed.
