PhotoWorks Wood Endgrain
PhotoWorks Wood Endgrain
(OP)
I'm doing a layout for Sales where I need to show a machine cutting logs. I built a log and applied a wood material to it but when rendering I can't get the end of the log to look like it is supposed to. I know I've done this before but I can't at all remember how.
Thanks in advance.

Open, select 'Appearances', then right-click on the material, then select 'edit'.
Go to 'mapping' and scroll down to mapping control to change the look of the grain.

From there I go to Advanced Mapping options and select 'spherical' and rotate as shown in the pic.

Is this how you map them in Photoworks? I have Realview graphics turned on.
THanks.

RE: PhotoWorks Wood Endgrain
Show your PhotoWorks toolbar, and then hit the Materials button when in the context of your part (not in the assembly) after you've selected your end surface. You'll see several tabs which can be selected toward the top (again, if they didn't change this in v2008) and you'll want to establish your materials in this interface for PhotoWorks materials.
The top Mapping tab is where you'll control things similar to how you did it in the RealView interface. You'll also want to apply the side-grain finish to the whole part as you did before, keeping in mind the end-grain is applied only to your end surfaces.
