Hi,

Can anyone explain why the following code gives me a black and *GREEN* checkered
plane?

plane {y,-1
texture {
pigment {checker White Black}
finish {ambient .4}
}
hollow
}

...is the wrong answer ;-)

I should have written:

<snip>
plane {y,-1
texture {
pigment {checker White Black}
finish {ambient .4}
}
hollow
}

both colors.inc and textures.inc are loaded.

Perhaps you should make sure all your light sources are white.

You need a comma between the white and the black, then it'll be
ok.

I rendered it and got the green and black, don't know what causes
that, but the comma will sort it out. 

Cheers

Oh, c'mon now. I'm not that daft. Here's the entire code. It renders as green and
black.
I'm running 3.1e on Win95.


#include "colors.inc"
#include "textures.inc"
#include "metals.inc"

// camera
camera {
    location <0,0,-5>
    direction 2.0*z
    up        y
    right     4/3*x
    look_at <0,0,0>
}
//
// lights
light_source {
    0*x
    rgb <1,1,1>
    translate <10,10,-10>
}
//

plane {y,-1
    texture {
    pigment {checker rgb 1 rgb 0}
    finish {ambient .4}
    }
hollow
}

I've noticed this happening for a while..just not mentioned it. I'm sure it never used
to
happen. Someone please confirm my sanity.

Thanks Steve. It did used to work, right? I'm not insane...I'm not!

This works:



#include "colors.inc"
#include "textures.inc"
#include "metals.inc"

// camera
camera {
    location <0,0,-5>
    direction 2.0*z
    up        y
    right     4/3*x
    look_at <0,0,0>
}
//
// lights
light_source {
    0*x
    rgb <1,1,1>
    translate <10,10,-10>
}
//

plane {y,-1
    texture {
    pigment {checker
    colour rgb 1
    colour rgb 0}
    finish {ambient .4}
    }
hollow
}


Note that I have added the colour keyword, and broken the lines.

Try using the keyword 'color' ahead of each color entry.

Yeah, thanks. I tried using

pigment { checker rgb 1 rgb 0}

but got an error..didn't think to use color/colour. The seperate lines shouldn't make
a
difference though, should they. Doesn't POV ignore them?
