Topic: Material Problem with glass

[Derekw]

I'm wondering if someone might be able to help. I seem to have a little problem with applying the glass material to my imported sketchup model.

When I select the windows of my building and apply the glass material in Lumion I get the wrong texture. e.g. concrete. All the other textures in Lumion work fine. For example I can apply grass, tiles or brick textures in Lumion - even to my problem windows (which doesn't look very good - I'ld rather glass).

The model looks fine in Sketchup. eg. windows are glass material.

The glass texture works fine for all my other models, so it is probably a problem with my sketchup model. Maybe a material has got corrupted along the way. I have also tried re-applying them in Sketchup and re-loading the model. To no avail.

Should I delete all the textures from the .lib file and then re-apply them from scratch?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi Derek, does it work if you export the glass object separately and try to apply a glass material to it?

If it still doesn't work, can you upload the glass object in SketchUp format, so we can take a look?

Hi Morten,

As I expected, it wasn't a Lumion problem. The original building model came to me from 3DS. I think there were some faces with different textures either side. eg. glass in front, concrete behind. Anyway, problem solved.

Also, is there a reason why trees sometimes shake wildly while making an animation? This seems to happen often even when wind speed is low?

Thanks

Good to hear that.

This has been resolved in the upcoming 2.1 Build 4:
