arcscene export problem

bogdanpalade

Dear all,

Recently I had to work with arcscene to build some 3d scene....when it came to exporting the scenes to jpeg or tiff I noticed that the resulting pictures have some type of grid on top that it is not obvious in arcscene. The grid has the background colour. Even after removing the background colour I still end up with the grid on top of my picture...Does anybody know what´s happening?

Thank you very much,

Bogdan

PS: perhaps it´s important to mention...the scene consists of a landsat picture draped on a aster digital elevation model

I'm having similar problems but trying to export 3D. I read another thread that discussed problems with VRML viewers. Has anyone found one that works? I tried Cosmo Player and got the same blank white screen that others mentioned.

Is there any method that works (other than a screen capture)?

I am using ArkDesktop version 10 and am also having this export problem with ArcScene...
Is there a special setting that you make in order to correct for the poor quality in the 2D exports??
Thanks!

Since I made this comment I've changed jobs, computers and configuration. I have a machine far superior to what I had before and although I am still able to export large 2D images from ArcScene I do run into some rendering issues now. Extremely large datasets (High Resolution imagery draped over high density LiDAR data, etc.) often leave linear and other anomaly on the final image. I also have problems with 2D exporting of TINs that have been vertically. exaggerated. (strangely, this works fine with draped imagery)

I am still able to export to 2D almost any scene. (No special setting) It seems that the exporter is largely dependent on available memory and the video card.

Marie, If you are using version 9.3.1 or older then i am afraid there is no fix. In fact you will often get the best quality by taking a screen capture which is something I have been told by an ESRI expert on "Ask the cartographer"
Version 10 completely fixes all 2D exporting issues; I have been able to export enormous files at any resolution I select.

Hello,

I just read this thread and am hoping that you guys found a way to export in 2D. I am having the same issue....exports are of very poor quality.

I have a beautiful scene built, and want to include it in a presentation....

I am at a loss here. I tried exporting to pdf, tiff, jpg, using a variety of settings....

Did you guys resolve the issue? Did you find a work around you can share.

Much obliged,

M

I found out new things but not solution. That "grid effect" appears even without draping the image on tin. And even in a situation when the image is the only data in ArcScene. If I use a very low setting in scene properties / rendering / raster image enhancement, the effect disappears. But I need a better quality result, and my image is much better. It seems that ArcScene cannot produce quality images. But why there then is a possibility to export in high resolution...?

I have same problem. I am draping single image on tin surface. The image definitely does NOT have that grid in it, nor the other data I have. I really need to get rid of that grid. Anyone any ideas?
