Images with crisp text render badly - Polyloop

Markku · 14th January 2006, 00:27

I'm new to Carrara (just bought it), anyway I think I know how to set texture maps and render setting correctly, because I get nice renders of my scenes except when I render website screeshots that contain crisp text blocks.
Those text blocks always render with blank holes here and there. 50% of the text is readable and nice but the rest has dissappeared complitely.

Please test if you get same result. Take a screenshot of some site (eovia.com), apply it as texture on a cube and render it. Do you see the empty areas in text blocks? Like machine gun bullet holes.

Try settings the object accuracy to 1 pixel or 0.5 pixel, it should solve that.

Thanks Charles! I had it at 4.

Now at 1 I get satisfactory renders.

Carrara is such a great program and so is Hexagon. Thanks for making these great apps thanks especially for your help here!
