Background and other Questions 2004-06-26 - By Bill Neumann
Back
Tom,
I'm having the same problem as reported in Q1 (tS 6.6). I create a
scene, assign a background image and then save the scene. I close tS,
reopen it and load the scene. The background effects shader is still set
to "image", but there is not image selected. When I render, the
background just renders black. I have to reselect an image every time I
reopen the scene. Apparently tS isn't saving the background image
information when I save the scene. It does this regardless of whether
the scene is static or animated, whether I save the scene via the scene
library or manually in a different folder. The file size of the image
doesn't seem to matter either.
I'm running tS 6.6 with Windows 2000 Pro, on an Athlon 1.2 Gig chip
with 768 megs of RAM, and a VisionTek nVIDIA Xtasy 128 GeForce4 Ti 4600
video card.
Any ideas?
Best Wishes,
Bill Neumann

Can't reproduce the problem in Q1 - btw, some things to check, is the
Image
shader still the Background Effect Shader on loading your scene? What is
the
image being replaced by on reloading? Is this an animated scene or a
static?

Hello,
I am attempting using TS 6.6 Service Pack 2. I have set-up a scene and
added
a .jpg as a background. After saving or reopening a saved file and
rendering, the background keeps disappearing or being removed. Is there
a
step I am missing? I am adding the background by right click on the
Background effect shader - image, then double clicking the image then
saving
the file. If I render right when I add the .jpg everything is OK.
