HD77343: OM: NOISEMAP IS NOT APPLIED TO CARPAINT FX PROPERLY.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• OM: NOISEMAP IS NOT APPLIED TO CARPAINT FX
  PROPERLY.
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1. Create any intended solid geometry in CATPart
  file and apply intended material to the solid
  geometry.
  2. Double click at material which you applied and
  open properties dialog box of the material. Select
  rendering tab and then select texture tab and
  select External shader for Type and select
  CarPaint.fx
  file (CarPaint.fx file exists in Dassault Systemes /
  B18 / intel_a / startup / materials / shaders /
  Painting / CarPaint folder by default.) for File
  name. Select Auto Adaptive Mapping for Mapping.
  3. When CarPaint.fx is read, shading of 3D model
  changes and it seems that material is applied to 3D
  model properly. However, field of NoiseMap of
  material is blank. This is the problem.
  4. In NoiseMap field, select dark_noise.bw file
  which exists in the same folder of CarPaint.fx.
  5. Click apply button. As a result, flake-like pattern
  of metallic disappears on both sample
  figure on property dialog box and figure in 3D
  model window. This is the problem.
  6. Click OK button and close property window of
  applied material. However, flake-like pattern of
  metallic is not displayed. This is the problem.
  7. Reopen property dialog box of applied material
  and you will find that field of NoiseMap returns to
  blank. This is the problem.
