#chrome letters
4 messages in this thread
Does anybody have a good technique for creating a chome letters. I ve used
some of the chrome gifmaps but havnt got a good result. I tried creating
some images in anipro but still did not get any acceptable results. It
seems that the face of the letters do not refect. I guess i could use the
auto reflect but that sure would take some time, Looking for a short cut.
any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rock
Rock, the best way to get chome letters is to put an auto-reflect (cubic)
material on the letters (with a little bit of blur). Then, make an object
for the letters to reflect that's texture-mapped with the bitmap you want
to use for the reflection map. This "reflection object" can even be in
front of the camera, since the surface normals ought to be pointing away
from the camera (and towards the reflecting object). And note that you
should ALWAYS use a 24-bit reflection map for best results.

Thanks I will giver it a try,
[A If i put it in front of the camera it shows. Is that because its a
mapped images on an object. Can you map an image on an object so that only
one side will show? Rock
If it's a one-sided material, the camera can't see it if the camera is
behind it.
