Re: Implicit texture projection not working
Strange. What you need to do is : 1 - Create Sphere 2 - set Sphere or UV projection. 3 - in the same ppg EDIT the Uv Projection and choose Implicit 4 - Render. It should work. 2013/7/28 Nancy Jacobs illus...@mip.net Luca, I didn't freeze the object, but the image texture doesn't render either. I'm using 2014 also.

Re: Implicit texture projection not working
You cannot implicit texture a reflection map, as the texture is applied to the environment, not the sphere's surface. On Sun, Jul 28, 2013 at 9:27 AM, Luca superposit...@gmail.com wrote: Strange.

Re: Implicit texture projection not working
Thanks Luca, for letting me know it doesnt show in ogl. it does render -- it seems I had my HDRI disabled so I wasn't getting any light.
