Jason Matthews Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I am using the Vray demo right now and I cant seem to get the rpcs to cast shadows or reflections. Strange. Does anyone know of the fix or should I ask ArcVision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 RCPs have a properties panel that has checkboxes for both reflection and shadow. Are they checked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Nelson Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Vray doesn't handle RPC's too well but I'm pretty sure I've at least gotten reflections out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont believe it but iI have to render them twice to get them going....once in vray to get shadows and then the rpc alone as a selected object with the default renderer and paste it in photoshop. its a total pain!

mwhite Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I just spoke with Randall and Jon at Archvision today with questions on shadows. There is a tutorial for creating shadows at their website and there is also a plug-in for automating the set-up. I'm working on getting shadows now with Vray which I just purchased today. They did not indicate that there should be any limiations once you get the steps down in 3D Studio and this process also eliminates the hairline thin shadows that you get from cutouts and RPC's when they are in line with the light/suns rays. I'll be working with this tommorrow and will post the results of my learning curve if I can get anything out of Vray. Mike White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
