CGarchitect.com - View Single Post - Fryrender: Dielectric/MPDM issue (+demo users question?)

gustaf.heland · July 12th, 2008

Hello folks!

I am playing with the Fry RC demo.

But there seems to be no supported way from the developers to ask questions unless you're a customer?

So I though I'd try my luck here.

I am using Fry with C4D 10.5 on WinXP 64bit.

I have two issues that I are blockers for me:

1. Material Display in Viewports: I can't find out how to get a map other than the color map to show on the object. So a transparent material with a bumpmap for example shows up as completely black and there is no way to get visual feedback when manipulating mapping.

2. It seems that the combination of dielectric transmittance and MPDM has some issue? Add displacement to a dielectric material (glass, water etc) and it turns completely opaque...?!?

Grateful for any insight or a pointer to the appropriate place to ask!

Regards
GvH
