Tile differences from one angle to another

Mystfit · 10-31-2011, 02:40 PM

So, this thread is for the kind souls on the homeshow channel who were trying to help me figure out why I thought the backs of my tiles were different..

This is the same tile from both sides...as you can see it seems..softer on one side....I was tying to flip them to make them all alike, but once flipped it doesn't change anything which lets me think it's a lighting angle..so in a large house makde of adamantine tiles, my north/south tiles look different then my eat/west tiles.

House doens't have a roof yet, not sure if that'll make a difference..

Yeah, pretty sure it's lighting. I had the same issue with a project. It appears to be that the "shadowed" side displays more defined crevices between the bricks, while the "lit" side is softer. In mine, when I turned on shadows, the more defined side was, indeed, the one where the shadows fell.

I had the same issue on the island with the one of the tinkered tiles, impacted floor plating I think it's called. From one side it has dimpling in it and from another it looks like smooth grey marble.
