Anyone Tell me what is going on here? In cc3+

SlaveOne

I have seen these with a other few maps i did too.

This is post rendering both in either jpg or png format.

I included a winsnip version for comparison, but as you can see the weird "non-organic" shadows show up.

Ok thats weird, the render jpg from cc3+ doesnt want to upload tot he forum properly...

Anyways i winsniped the render version for reference... saved as a jpg and that uploads fine.

That certainly looks a bit strange. Are you able to upload the FCW file so we can have a look at it?

SlaveOne

Sure thing... and thanks.

That is an artifact caused by the way CC3(+) has to divide up the image in multiple parts when rendering at higher resolutions. Certain effects won't work properly when the entity causing them is not included in a particular rendering piece.

In this case it is the glow on the floor causing the problem. Try removing the effect, and instead add a partially transparent polygon on top of it top darken it (use one of the solid xx fills)

They seemed to have fixed it.

I guess from now on i wont roll with default effects and instead build from scratch.

Monsen

Default effects are usually fine, but they weren't intended for a map as tiny as this one. Very large or very small maps usually requires additional attention.

You may also look in this discussion for another way to solve this issue.

Oh yes! Thanks Gathar - I quite forgot that one. (Yet another sign of aging!!!)
