[Max] I need help! / Re: CShading_Shadows
« on: 2022-12-23, 02:41:19 »
haha what's up man funny to see you around these parts

So I think I figured it out, seems the Cshading_Shadows render element isn't very helpful. You need to use the ShadowCatcherMtl material on the objects you only want to see shadows on and save out that masked rgb pass

edit; to help with comping, set highlight compression to 999 and adjust the contrast to 4-5

I'm getting the same problem with the Cshading_Shadows render element.

For instance, where are all the shadows under the desks?

I had to stop using sbsar files in max because it bogged everything down *so* much. I don't know if it's from our network here or if that's just how it is. Does anyone else experience severe lagging using .sbsar files with 3ds max?

So I've been loading the .sbsar files into Substance Player and exporting .jpg maps from there too manually hook up.

Is there a way to get Corona specific maps from Substance player? I need reflection and IOR fresnel maps.

I swapped out the PhysCam for a CoronaCam and this fixed the problem

Was this ever figured out? I'm having the same issue with a single DR node. No missing plugins/textures. Using 3ds max PhysCamera

[Max] I need help! / Rendering Velvet from Substance Painter
« on: 2019-08-27, 18:28:27 »
I'm trying to make a velvet material in Substance Painter. I've found the only way to make it look right is to put the pbr-velvet.glsl into the shader settings in Painter.

The issue is when it is brought into Corona, it loses all the sheen that I assume the pbr-velvet.glsl produces. Is there a best practice on how to get the sheen effect in Corona with this velvet material created in SP? Or do I just need to throw a fresnel in the diffuse and manually dial the sheen back in?

Yes, the plugin is on the node (there's just one). It's been working for months, I don't know what changed to break it.

Here is the log (from the node):

Substance started to not work correctly when rendering on the render farm via backburner (same using DR). I've restarted both the render server and my local machine. I created a fresh, simple scene to recreate the problem. It's not throwing any errors, it just looks really wrong.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I want better Bloom & Glare like Arion FX :'(

I'm always interested in glares, do you have an example of what you like more about Arion FX's glare?

Wow, I never knew about that. Thank you!

What if you set the aquarium glass object to "not visible to camera"?
