ok, I'm confused. I've got the tick-box for 'display photoworks materials in Solidworks' ticked. My product looks the correct colours. But the render turns everything to chrome or some similar material.
I go into the sub assembly level. The material list in the tree shows the correct materials and the parts highlight when I click on the materials. But when I render they're all CHROME again.
I go into the part level. The material list shows the correct material. But when I render the part renders CHROME.
Please please help. This was workign last night, but I've re-opened since then, and I admit, I've 'updated' to SP2 SW2007 since things we're looking a bit strange: I left a render running all night and it it took four hours to render the bottom left corner and the rest was left BLACK.
I set up as follows:
I have a top level 'studio' assembly, which has lights, cameras and a floor.
I have a product sub assembly which I drop into the Studio assembly.
I apply materials at PART LEVEL and then save&close before returning to the STUDIO assembly.
I have CNTRL-Q rebuilt my parts.
Where are my materials? I want to enter the Solidworks design competition, and it says the product should be rendered using Solidworks (so I cant give it to our Studio Max guy to do a this simple job in a couple of hours....)
Please help!
