Hello Admin,

I am trying to apply a glass effect to a man's skin. I noticed that when I rotate the model, some polygons looks bad (please check the ref pic)

How can I solve the problem?

Thanks

Hello cg. Is it possible you could post the model (or even a piece of it) to me in a private message? I would need to take a look at the geometry.

To send me a private message, click on "new>private message"

Dear Admin,

As the max file is 3.5MB.
I ziped it with winrar to 335kb.
But I can not sent a zip file to you via private message

What should I do?

Thanks for your help!

Hi CG,

I tested it, and I am able to send zips in private messages. What error are you getting when you try to post the zip? Too big?

Thanks for your kindly help!!!

This is a tricky one! It will probably have something to do with geometry. I've seen this before, but I don't remember off the top of my head what the solution is. I'll see if I can figure it out.

Thanks Admin,

Frankly speaking, I met this problem on my each project which has some object with transparent setting.

BTW,If I want to use a flash file to control the vet scene(not embed the flash into vet scene, just locate the flash on the other position of the html page), how can I create the communication with 3d space?

Thanks for your help!!!

The same way you would have HTML communicate with the 3d scene -- using the javascript functions available through MTS3Interface.js. More info on the functions available through MTS3Interface.js can be found on pages 161 and 162 of the Viewpoint Rich Media Authoring Guide

I found out about your triangles problem. This is known issue. Unfortunately in case of semi-transparency, the outcome depends on the order in which triangles are drawn. This effect shows up when there is more then one layer of visible semi-transparent triangles. The effect is rarely visible if there is back face culling, because back face is not visible, however it is possible to see it if there are ‘folds’ on the object. There is per-object sorting, and per-material sorting, which will also make order of drawing deterministic.

As for an advice – there are couple:

Turn on back face culling. Often you don’t need both front and back to be visible.

Introduce separation by object/material. In case of human body – make arms/legs/front/back separate objects/materials.

Hi Admin,


I will try it later!

Thanks!!!
