Materials in blocks behave strangely

I have another problem with the materials. I can’t rotate blocks with WKS Quader style materials anymore. I have to explode the blocks so that the materials are displayed correctly. Here are two examples:



Does anyone have an idea?

You’ll want to add an OCS frame. That will ensure WCS textures stick to the object even when you rotate it.

The material what is behaving like that is an WCS/OCS box style material.

Hmm, I realize now that this is of course with Raytraced.

There is currently a bug report on my list that has to do with OCS frames and textures. With some orientations the mapping gives the results you see. It has been a problem since the OCS frame got introduced, unfortunately.

RH-66048 Texture mapping: OCS frame is broken in Cycles

I’ve added this thread to the bug report.

thanks :+1:

Unfortunately there are still problems with textures in blocks. I always have to convert blocks into groups to solve the problem and that makes the files huge. A real pity…

That issue was resolved, can you post a small example of what isn’t working for you and post the results of the SystemInfo in Rhino? thanks

Actually, it is this one now: RH-84402 Material with Rotated Texture Raytracing or Rendering Incorrectly

The fix made in the earlier linked issue was for non-blocked OCS being incorrect in certain cases. Added this topic to the YT issue.

Ok and then there are two new problems with the textures. I’m not quite sure whether I should write them here or in a new post.
The first one: If I use edge rounding, my texture becomes a uniform mush. As you can see in the pictures.
And the second one: I have to uncheck the denoiser after every rendering and put it back in so that the denoiser is applied. If I don’t do this, the images are always noisy even if the checkmark is in.
