Illuminated Sign

[Anonymous]

Has anyone been able to create a typical business box sign that would be illuminated at night.

I must be really not seeing it. I followed those steps but the image which I have sized as a .jpg the exact size of the morph does not seen to stick to the surface. .jpg file is 3.6MB so that may be to large, attached a copy of my desktop in the process.

Questions

1. Did you create the surface?
2. Did you assign the surface to the Morph using "Override Surface"?

It is not clear what you mean "stick to the morph", file size should not matter.

Your desktop views is not shown.

Yes I have the surface created and stored but had not "assigned the surface" as one does when changing that with other objects. I can not see the actual .jpg on the surface of the morph in 3d although there must be a resolution issue as I have the .jpg sized for the morph but I am getting a repeating pattern of the ,jpg on the surface of the morph. When I try to get the morph to render even with just Sun and Lamps the .jpg is not visible.

I guess I have issues trying to attach files to my posts they are small enough but seem to not be uploading...

If it is not assigned then it cannot be rendered.

To see the Surface as applied to the Morph in the 3D Window you need to click "Internal to match Cinerender" Material in the surface. Even if it does not show it would render.

I will check that but also noticed in your example that the morph has three distinct sides so assign textures to, what have only seems to have one side to assign the texture two.

Three sides have nothing to do with it, that is a screenshot from Wall settings from a project I am working on. Morph should have one one.

Thanks for your patenice and assistance, our bosses tell us this is one of the key buying evaluations so we are trying to get this going if we can. We have done the "Internal to match Cinerender" on both the Color and Luminescence Channels and have also elected the surface to override the default. Trying again to upload screen shots to help. I am sure we just have one or two things unchecked somewhere.

Did you check the size?
and the Luminance Brightness setting?
