Background Positioning

Hey Al:

I just downloaded V4..........the background positioning wizard is not there as you show it in your tutorial. Am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Chris

Al:

Never mind........I figured it out.
I was looking at the SU model from enough above and had the ground turned on, thereby the horizon was not visible and the ground plane completely covered the background.

Use the image button at the top of the screen to add an image to your post.

OOPS Again !

The new background wizard now holds image in SU with perspective distortion in version KJ10 but unfortunately when I tweaked brightness\contrast filters in render dialog the background image turned black after render. It worked OK in initial render from SU but I did not tweak filters.

Still wish we could tweak background post render

Edit: Contrast \brightness tweaks seem to work OK direct from SU - just turns black in Render Dialog

Thank

Boothy

Apologies - the above post is a little misleading.

After further testing - the effect above only seems to occur if you reset brightness and contrast in render dialog after originally tweaking filters then rerendering. All other situations seem fine.

Please note I had also converted to native image file in render dialog before rerendering

Thanks

I think I can duplicate this.

In my case, there is simply no background image after resetting the background contrast on the Background wizard...after having switched to the nXtImage view, using the FX button. I get a blue background, not black, probably due to some other sky setting.

I'll track this down.
