Hi firewalker, This is a know issue with the 3d models in kicad librarys. [1]
In order to have good renders you need good models and materials [2]. You can try to convert STEP to VRML with this [3] tool from Maurice. He has a material script that will allow you to choose and assist on selecting good materials to the models. For a better result, you have to manually edit the 3D VRML and adjust with your own preferences (or/and following my documents guidelines) Mario [1] https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg23717.html [2] https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg23035.html [3] https://forum.kicad.info/t/kicad-stepup-update-support-for-vrml-with-material-properties/2898 ________________________________________ From: firewalker [[email protected]] Sent: 19 June 2016 20:08 To: Mário Luzeiro Cc: Jakub Kozdon; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Kicad-developers] 3D-Viewer - Request for merge evaluation When using all material properties some of the components are really bright. All the resistor are from the kicad repository. https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/tree/master/modules/packages3d/unused_3d.3dshapes I guess there must be a change to the 3d files used? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
