How to get a "texture" without 'joints' on the lengths?

[rob2218]

what I'm looking for is to create a texture map that I can make whatever length I need as a brick so that I DON'T get that joint seam in the textures "length" direction.
I've tried adjusting all the aspect ratios, the lengths of the JPG in a photo editor...and I can't seem to eliminate that unwanted joint.

Crop the image (or a copy thereof) used for the texture to exclude the vertical joint at both sides

I tried that. I cropped the JPG image in a photo editor so that the "grey" bleeds all the way to the ends....but....when I apply "that" new JPG (cropped) to the surfaces, dunno....maybe i have to create a brick texture that is 4 or 5 times as wide as what I have so that the edges for sure don't show up.

it still creates a type of "joint" at the ends.
I've also tried to use the "3D Align Texture" function under the design pull down. that's "somewhat" helping but I should not to mess with the textures pattern location.............should I?

Did you re-load your library after altering the image?

[rob2218]

yes.
several times.
dunno. Just can't seem to get the hang of this new Cine4d rendering engine.
I wish GS would have left in the old Lightworks engine.
I know it looked a little "cheesier" but...it was much much simpler.

All my renderings have this 'yellowie' tint to them that i can't see to understand where to go to change it.

(see other thread in the Presentation folder where I mention a "yellowie tint" rendering.

Just FYI,

Since these Rendering Engines are developed by other companies, GRAPHISOFT has to pay royalties for each (and also for the Sketch Rendering Engine). I guess this is why the CineRender Engine replaced the Lightworks Engine in ARCHICAD and not became an additional Rendering Engine.
But I understand your point, it is a new Rendering Engine to learn and as it is implemented in ARCHICAD it has a lot more options and capabilities than the Lightworks Engine implementation so it takes more time to learn.
