SUBJECT: PAR Translate & Specularity
<E>: lightwave-l@netcom.com
>Some asked about the PAR providing Lightwave with image sequences.
As quite a few answered, yes, it does.
>Some one replied that it does and gave the example for the input on the
>Lightwave images requestor as 'Blipfart.'
This is not entirely correct. For normal image sequences this format is
correct. Adding the dot tells Lightwave it is an actual sequence wiht the
number extensions of 001, 002, 003. However, the translate feature on the PAR
sends out the image frames with the extensions of 0001, 0002, 0003... So for
any images recieved from the PAR, your file needs to contain that extra zero.
Like so: 'Blipfart.0'
*Aside from that info, I have a question. An object within a scene that tends
to flash. This object has no specularity. It is stationary, along wiht the
camera. There is an image mapped on the flat surface. The light tracks over
the 450 frame anim from southeast to northwest over the entire scene. All
other objects that are moving in the scene have no specularity, and are behind
the said trouble maker. I do have the luminosity at 40% to make the image
brigther, and their is another object in the scene that has a reflection map
and is front of the said object. I have tried -at length- to trouble shoot
this, and until I remove all objects and just leave the ambient light on the
spot light, it still flashes. Almost flashes enough to call it a strobe.
Anyone have any idears why this happening?????
....And when I get a chance I'll upload that Crystal Object I spoke of last
week, and explain the 'unorthodox' settings. To some the surface
attributes may not be unusual, but to others (New users) this may be
Something they weren't aware of.
Just trying to share info...8-).
Gosine 8-).
PS. Maybe if I purchase a SuperWammyGizmoRenderMachine, it will stop that
Object's flashing. ;-) :-) 8-).
That's a joke son!
A LightWave has 50% less calories than a Regular Wave.
A Megabyte is a large bite out of a food substance.
A Floppy disk is a frizbee that was left in the sun too long.
