Ceiling Tiles not rendering Bump/Displacement in White Model

johanSR — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 07:57:49 GMT

Hi all.

I am producing White Model renders, but for some reason the 600x600 Suspended ceiling doesn't render the bump or displacement...

The carpet shows displacement...

I have created various material setups, alpha channels, a few tutorials, etc, but nothing. It's just smooth.

I would like to show the grid of the tiles...

Any ideas?

Operating system used: Windows

Hi @johanSR

Sadly, as seen on Archicad Help documentation, White Model Effect turns all surfaces as white, except those which use transparency or alpha channels (those remain transparent).

You could render that white model effect image and also a 3D Document from the same camera/point of view to obtain vector line image, so you could compose both in an external photo editing tool.

Best regards.

It turns out there was another slab over this one on a different layer which influenced the material...

I moved the slab on the other layer down by 15mm and it worked...

URRGHHH!!!

Simple solution, long problem searching...
