"Found 'Textured Mesh Support' only works with obj and 3ds Files which do not contain PBR Maps.
To 'obj' converted newer 3ds do not render in nXt :-("

refraction channel
hello all!
if i save a image as an exr file and define a refracted channel in the background settings i can't see any "true" reflections of build geometry , for example in a glass wall. shadows of build geometry on transparent materials (glasswall) of build geometry are visible, reflections are not.
am i doing something wrong?
thanks!

Hard to say without seeing the actual model and some pics. -- .exr and .hdr format can only save luminance data-- so any data such as RGB pictures cannot be saved in this format. The only backgrounds which work here are HDRs or Auto Sky.
Your best bet is not to mess with the refractive channel when you're first getting started. This is an advanced feature that is hardly ever necessary. It's best to return to one of the presets and start from there.
Having said that, it is possible that there's a bug here. The only way I'd be able to evaluate it properly is if you were to send the model (using Support->Upload a File above). Include detailed instructions for how to reproduce the problem in the Comments section.

hello roy!
maybe the screenshot of the exr file is helpful too,...

It helps a little-- it's still very hard to understand. I assume this is an .exr w/ alpha channel? I'd still recommend going back to basics here.

yes, it is an exr file opened in photoshop.
the reason why i want to use this feature, and this maybe helps to understand my question, is to create a semi transparent alpha channel that, for example, could be used to change the background image in photoshop. would be helpful, for example, if you render a interior view of a shopping mall with a huge glass roof. This way you could change the background image ("behind" the glass roof) and still have all reflections of the shopping mall in the glass roof,....
thanks

Not a bad application-- you don't have to change the refractive bg for this-- just leave it as the default and save as an .exr w/ alpha. Whether the reflections are visible will depend on a variety of factors-- for more control you may want to save as an .nXtImage. The alpha channel can be saved separately here and edited in photoshop-- this may help bring out reflections.

OBJ Plant Issue - Diffuse Maps
Hi to anyone;maybe a similar issue as Mr.Holz announced recently, (PBR Texture question):-added a obj. plant via 'Textured Mesh Objects' widget-reassigned maps (materials showed up, but with no maps attached, (although mtl. files are in the same folder as corresponding maps and obj files)-tried to render (see 'result')So my question is: Does anybody knew about how to handle Diffuse Maps in nXt, i suspect there is no interpretation of the UV-Coordinates?Any hints and help kindly appreciated!…See More

"Thanks for your kind words.
Yes, all plants are generated with nxt plant-editor.
I have used leaves from Marc Chaumier's plant library.

"Very nice piece. Brilliant work.
Are all these plants nxt render plants ?
They look very good. Ground cover is so thoughtful."
"Thank you so much."
"Sorry, do not exactly how to do it right.
If i sent you one or sets, could you "compose" one material as an example?
Maybe this is interesting for others too.."
"Thanks Rich,
exacvtly what i found out.
Only did't know what to dfo with the AO map.."
