Creo 1.0 enhanced realism...

[zpaolo]

I've played a little more with Creo, there's a problem with the ATI drivers that shows like a "banding" on the model window, anyway the first impression is that spinning and zooming is faster than Creo/Elements Pro 5.0, especially in wireframe view, but i really DON't like the new setup for "enhanced realism"...

It was already changed from WF4.0 to 5.0, and the main gripe was that the new environment was more "smooth", so it was less useful for rough surface evaluation, but this time it looks like everything is too shiny. Look:

The first one is a snapshot of Pro 5.0, the second one is from Creo 1.0... everything looks washed out and less "punchy" especially the black shiny plastic :/

no, the gray one, thanks anyway. i searched and found the color code for gray:190-190-190

Oh, ok, anyway this is the code for the grey one:

SYSTEM_TOP_BLENDING_COLOR 98.431373 98.431373 98.823529
SYSTEM_BOTTOM_BLENDING_COLOR 81.960784 82.745098 83.137255

although it might be even better to swap the two, because the background of the model tree is not shaded and it's very light, contrasting with the darker grey of the bg at the bottom

Paolo, Do you know if you can set an edge color easy in Creo.


Thanks,

Paolo, Do you know if you can set an edge color easy in Creo.

Did not check it but I think that edge color equals "geometry" color, so yes it's quite easy, as long as you don't mind having different geometry colors. BTW I never understood the obsession for black lines and now that Creo has them I'm still convinced that the "old" method was much better and much nicer. Also now you can not have "enhanced realism" with edges!

thanks Paolo, I do get many requests to shade my models with black edges, which makes no difference to me andis currentlyvery difficult.
