[Max] I need help! / Benchmark scene crashes out

« on: 2016-10-19, 14:47:38 »

Hi, I rendered the benchmark scene and as soon as its hits zero on the timer i get a 'corona has stopped working' error and then this

 ---------------------------
Corona 1.3 Benchmark Error
---------------------------
Could not run Corona 1.3 Benchmark: Application exited with errors.Visual C++ 2015 Update 1 Redistributable (x64) Failed (ErrorCode =1638)

(Press Ctrl + C to copy the message to clipboard.)
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Any ideas why? The computer is really powerful so its not a ram issue.

Thanks
Jack

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Lightmix controller bindings

« on: 2016-10-18, 21:11:52 »

Im certain youve recieved requests for a standalone lightmix as it makes for a fantastic presentation tool. However it would be incredible to be able to bind the lighmix groups to a midi controller so we can use a fader to adjust the light levels on each channel. It would require setting a maximum value that the midi control scales to as faders are limited to 128 steps but this would make a brilliant way of being able to present to clients. Max already handles midi commands. So if there is a standalone lightmix coming in the future. id love it to be controllable via a MIDI hardware interface :)

Just wondering if im getting this. So if i wanted to do an overview render of a building, i cant just set the ceiling to non-renderable and have it still cast shadows as if it was still there?

General CG Discussion / [HELP] Custom attributes in 3DS Max

« on: 2016-10-14, 09:50:44 »

Hi, Im working on a project at work where we need to build a kit of parts for some furnishings. These furnishings will be replacing revit blocks and will contain bim data in the User defined properties of each model.
If one of these properties is set to false i need to remove an element of the furniture. Say a support strut or a shelf.
Ive tried this before using modifiers and an attribute holder and using the wire parameters but i couldnt quite figure it out.
Has anyone got any ideas how i could do this?

Thanks
Jack

@tomg any chance you could share your method? ive never used fusion before. ive used AE but couldnt figure out the correct blnding mode to use to get the correct lighting? I assume it also has to be in linear 32bit mode?

I have the same issue. Its a no on all fronts for my scene Maru. happens with a max standard grey shader on ceiling columns and where the walls intersect the ceiling too. Modelled in mm accurate scale and centered on the origin. I noticed it a couple of days ago but thought it was maybe because i wasnt leaving it to render enough before denoising. Ive also noticed that there seems to be alot of colour cast in corner shadows (where AO would happen)  that looks very unnatural.

Ive noticed something strange regarding light materials. So i have a ceiling tile light grid which is set as an emissing corona material. Ive added it to its own group and its no longer on the rest group. However i have a TV and i tried adding that to its own group with the same material setup and for some reason it doesnt move from the 'rest' group.

The standalone lightmix will be a game changer for design reviews! Cant wait!
