Connect - material parameters differs in Luxology and MicroStation

Update: Only the Solid mapping shows in the render engine what I got in the MicroStation view.

Louis,

Can you send me your files.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

I've send you a mail with the files.


Thanks in advance,

Louis

A simple cube with cubic mapping
does not work ...

I ran some tests on existing work and to file new, CONNECT is unusable for rendering,..

continuous crash, material editor that freezes, I had to put the refresh manually to try to work

display style that cease to showing the material ...

this is not a commercial release !!!

Ciao

Thanks for confirming Alex.
About the material projection, can you try to restart MicroStation and see if the problem still exist? After MicroStation crashed and I did a restart the projection matches.

Of-course, this is not what we want, but it might be a workaround.

And about the rendering, can you take a look to the new diffuse roughness option (under diffuse) in the material editor. I had some nice results after tuning the materials with this (bar to the left is lighter to the right is darker). Maybe the translation of pré Connect Edition materials could use some fine-tuning.

B.t.w. is it possible for anyone from Bentley to explain the diffuse roughness? I tried to find an explanation in the help, but couldn't find anything (Maybe I looked to fast).
