Hi all, I've got a question about the rendering made as hown in the picture above. This is an old Amapi model i've made and that i try to render in Carrara3. As hightlighted with the red circles, part of some objets (everything is object, not texture, except for the bumped number on the external on the watch) are ALWAYS missing. Look at clear number over the blue background.... I've render it in C4D to check on some part of this object didn't disappear with time (some rotten polygons because of age of the meshes ?? ;-)) and then i see that the model is complete... I use quite standard shaders provided with C3, as i'm just a newbie... So any idea, or should i buy an $20,000 "Maya Complete" to have decent rendering ? ;-)))

my guess would be that on details this fine, make sure you have your render settings set high... good/best anti-aliasing, 0.5 pixel accuracy on the objects and 0.5-1 for the shadows... unless, of course, you've already done this... in which case, I'm boggled. But I've had this happen to me on low-res draft renderings and it cleared up when I upped the settings.

btw... I reserve the right to be dead wrong at all times

Hummm ! Weellll !! The subtitle of my question could be :"Just call me dumbass" ! FWTempest you're damn right. In fact in the rendering tab, i've just see that in fact i've inverted all the values regarding precision of objects/lights, setting them to the max value, which in fact means... the lowest detail.... I think i need serious holidays :-) So thanx a lot for your help : so let's got back to render and to burning some CPUs... :-)

Maya Complete is only $1,999.00. You slightly overbid.

glad I could help... :o)

I hope I don't run into that problem because I don't know what you guys were talking about to fix it.

Shonner: you change it in the Render Room, under the Rendering tab to the right, look for Object Accuracy. You can change the accuracy there. (this is C3, not sure what version you're using)

precisely... :)

I'm curious what the actual size of the watch in Carrara was? .5", 25mm, 1", 3", 1'? Because I think I had a similar problem even with accuracy turn set at smallest pixel range.

well, I've had troubles with renders with Poser figures due to the exceedingly small scale of their meshes. I just scale them up so the problem disappears.
