Hi all,
You may be aware of
Bertrand Benoits mat test scene ball (
get it here). Note: It will have to be changed over to Corona scene first.
I've went ahead and uploaded a version here for material previews. Bertrand has gave me permission to upload it here. He actually emailed straight away :] Thanks Bertrand.
I've been using this ball for a while but I've optimised it for corona from the VRay one I had. I also made it so it can support up to 8 multi-sub object materials. You can add more ID's to the ball if you want. I've spilt up the ball into 8 different elements to make it easier to edit the ball if you do. It's better in that if you have only 2 IDs for instance they don't get scatter over smaller areas. (see screenshot)
There's two lights in the scene which illuminate the ball. The loader does not load cameras unfortunately (only lights). I had to rotate the ball by 5deg and reset its x-from to appear at a slight angle.
I hope you guys like it.
One more thing. Does anyone know of a way to change the preview to the custom object inside the slate material editor without having to switch to basic mode to do so? Seems silly now since it's been part of max for a while now. 2010 (I think).
EDIT: 2011 Scene File added
