colors in pdf

[Art Stratemeyer]

Is there a way to make the colors a bit more vibrant in the PDF file ? I've noticed that they are a bit washed out compared to the actual SU file.

Also, there seems to be some kind of color "bleed" going on. I have one file where 85% of the wood is cherry colored and the balance is maple colored. When I create the pdf all of the cherry turns to a mucky mustard color.

Thanks

Art,

Thank you for posting your query here on the Forum. It helps other users to be able to read about problems and solutions.

The lack of color is a result of the default lighting models provided by Adobe. Rich has found a way to set our own lights and will be able to implement it in a future version.

Send a .SKP model of the Cherry wood problem and the resulting PDF file to support@renderplus.com.

Al,

What I found was that the default "white" light setting rendered the model really muddy and untrue to the colors. However when selecting the cad optimized light it was really quite close.
