For some reason, I am unable to get a satisfactory image when I click “Render”. I can use other imaging methods, including Artistic, Shaded, Ghosted, etc, but the image produced by Rhino Render, for this file, is washed out almost completely. I will attach the file.
These are Rhino polysurfaces converted back to NURBS from tSplines. But I don’t think that’s the source of the rendering problem.
I found another kernel of information when I tried opening the file in WIP. The render in WIP is also a white-out, but the program popped up a screen saying some image files were missing. it attributed these missing files to Auxpecker.
Auxpecker is no longer installed on my 5.0 nor on WIP, Probably lost it in a clean reboot.
Is it still available? Perhaps I should re-install it and see what happens.
It would be best, though, if I could figure out where and how Rhino is looking for Auxpecker files – and return its attention to Rhino Render.
and disable the env map which could not be located. (Right click and choose “Remove”) After this try to render. If this is still washed out copy/paste the objects to a new empty document, render and report what you see. You’re rendering with the built in Rhino Renderer right ?
Many thanks, Clement. Yes, by removing the reference to “soft purple”, which was an Auxpecker color or material, I was able to restore the normal functioning of Rhino Render.
These are four nearly identical protein molecules. Don’t know why I wanted to render them in Purple – but why not.
There was a period when Auxpecker only worked in Rhino 4.0, and I probably saved a Rhino 5.0 file as a 4.0 file in order to use it. I think this file dates to 2011, when the structure of the protein was first published.
Thanks again for this solution, Clement.
Best, Michael
