Hey Gang,

New to the forum, and still somwhat what new to SW and PV360. If I am asking this in the wrong section I appogize in advance.

Im am rendering SW Assems / SW parts in PV360 for pics to used in our new website, and I am finding that some parts will not hold the "paint" color I am applying. The parts have a pixelated, speckeled or refective quality to them - thus, when "paint" is applied it has a transparent look and the part looks more like "overspray" from a spray can of paint. Other parts w/in the assem will hold hold the paint. I have tried to go back into the orig SW Part file and change the material ( like changing from 6061 to rubber) with NO positive results.

Has anybody experienced the same? And would anybody have any insight as to what I can do to fix this phenom?

Using SW 2010 Premium

Thanks

Correct Answer

Interesting to note - in the SW assem, parts are also different in color even with both SW parts having same material.

The copy/paste should work then. Sounds like you have an assembly appearance overiding your part appearance in SW and that is transfering in to PV360.

See the reply in context

No one else had this question

I guess this could be a lot of things. What is the output quality set to? I usually set mine to better just to test the render to see if things are set right.

Can you post your picture here so we can see what may be the problem?

I'd copy paste the material on the "good" part to the "bad" part. Just to be sure they have the same settings.

I think some of what you are seeing is lighting and reflection as well. Try rotating the environement a bit.

Rob,

New environment, and part rotated. Seems to be the same result, so far. I'll try the C&P and see what happens.

Thanks for the help!

Voila'!!!!

The initial C&P did not help...however, after deleting the "assem" appearence, saving assem, and re-opening the assem in PV360 I got the attached result.

Thanks a ton gentleman for helping a rookie, I really appreciate it.

Regards-
