Issue 5. Render Looks Strange Or Gives Unexpected Results

 

Problem:

Concentric circles over the image or unusual effects including Bump map not working.

Solution:

Check the imported scene's scale and change the Ray Epsilon value. This is due to the scale being incorrect by a factor of 100 or 1000. OctaneRender® expects one unit in the scene to equal one meter. Adjust export settings in the modeling application, or adjust the import settings in OctaneRender®.

 

 

Problem:

Facetting occurs, revealing the underlying polygonal mesh, geometry, or normals issues.

Solution:

Ensure that the geometry and normals are correct in the modeling program. Re-export the scene if necessary. Make sure the Normal Smoothing boolean value (smooth) is enabled for each material in the Node Inspector.

 

 

Problem:

Bump map does not show up.

Solution:

When a Bump map and Normal map are loaded, the Normal map takes priority and the Bump map will not be used.

 

 

Problem:

Images do not look right on the model.

Solution:

This may be due to the way the model was UV unwrapped. This may need to be redone more precisely in the 3D modeling application and exported again.
