Thanks for the help Nancy, but I still can not get it to work. I opened the couch with no material. Applied the material, then baked. I then deleted the material from the model and the material bin. then I save the model new name. As soon as a deleted the material the model turned white. I then closed am and reloaded. Opened the model and the bake stamp is there with color but the model does not render with color. thanks for the comment on the interior. Steve

AM 16 64 bit AO 9 passes Ok. Reworked the file. With material added 2:45 still the same time This time I loaded the couch blank loaded the material and baked the surface. Save the model. Close AM, open into new prj, opend the baked couch, loaded in chor., then rendered. (It reloaded the material even though I baked the surface.) Rendered again and it rendered 2:51. I deleted the material and when I did it took the color away from the couch. Checked the baked decal it was still showing in the model, and it was now black rather than brown decal. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong Steve started decaling andadding materials to the interior

Thanks Nancy for testing this. I will let you know what retest shows Steve

Nancy That was why I posted it. I think the material is called intsoft leather. I tried it again with the same results. I started new project and will test again this evening Steve

Nancy using a lot of different materials. Some darktree and some from the extra cd. I did a test today. Applied a darktree material to the couch. then baked the material to the surface. Rendered with AO 9 passes and it took 4:08 Then took the same couch with the same material and rendered it without baking with AO 9 passes and it took 2:45. Baked material was a 1:23 longer to render than just a material applied. The only thing I noticed when I baked the material to the couch it took over a minute. The other materials and decals were baked very quickly on the other models. Steve

Just tried a test. Great deal. render time went from 1:45 frame with AO 9 passes to :45 Steve

Ok I have a question. When all the materials and decals are set on the model, what is the process of baking? What are the results? Steve

Loaded several character s with sss, worked ok, then it did not work so same here. Faces disappeared that had sss

Mark, I did not see the clothes. Wow, I like it a lot!! Steve

Very cool. I like how the ship moves with the waves. Steve

Coffee Bean Grinder Steve

She looks awesome. Love the face

Thanks Guys! Matt I might do that! More to come later tonight. Coffee grinder cup dishes and all the contents of the counter units..... Steve

Robert, the coffee shop plays an important part in the short so I thought I would include all the bells and whistles

Reworked the Brewer and now finished the touch screen cash register

Thanks David Yep all have bevels. I made a generic flat surface with bevels and have been using copies of that on all the models. Steve

Adding the background items.. here is the coffee brewer Steve

Nice set and wonderfully lit. Steve

Nancy Your husband models in HOn3? We have a huge following here in the Tulsa area. Not me though, Ho for me. Sorry Rodger not trying to steal your thread. Wonderful work as usual!!! Steve

Thanks Holmes!

Used Ken's chair and modified it for the coffee shop. All the items are in place now the details. last shot for awhile

Thanks David. I got the couch and the chairs off the forum and just removed the color to see them. I agree will have to clean up a little. But whoever made these models did a good job. Steve

The counter is an important shot in the short so I have gone overboard at this point and will break it down later. Here are the cabinets and fur down and then counter in place. Steve

Nancy, that looks great, also convinced me about fakeAO. Steve

Thanks Gerry I will upload more tonight as I have got most of the interior furnishing completed. Behind the counter I have not finished yet, the coffe grinders, brewers and expresso machines. Steve
