[Max] I need help! / Camera clipping show in viewport

« on: 2023-01-24, 23:16:53 »

Is there a way to globally turn off all "show in viewport" for all cameras in a scene? Or has someone made a script for that? Thanks!

after playing around with the roughness and IOR in a blank scene, the control of reflections makes much more sense now. thx

nevermind. I assigned a preset and without adding a uvw I forgot the displacement would raise the geometry

Hi,
I'm really exited about the new physical materials for Corona 7!

But I'm having sort of a hard time figuring out how to turn reflections down, probably because the nomenclature changed on the upgrade? I converted a scene from 6 and it looks the metal material changed the kept glossiness and there's no option for roughness but when I start a new 7 material the roughness is available but the glossiness is not.

I'm assuming the converter isn't aware of any roughness settings which keep the "glossiness" term but its confusing.

I'm probably totally wrong and if someone can point me to "everything you want to know about Corona 7 reflections, conversion's and ALL!!" I'd really appreciate it.

Attached is a screenshot showing my materials.

Thanks so much!

Why is it when the only thing I change from the default values is the shadow amount and save a png, the shadows look the same? Do I need to changes something else?
thank you

Got it. I’ll write a sticky. Do you know if this has been reported as a bug?

Hi,
Not sure why the light is not showing in viewport. I think it's because I'm creating a light, then turning on target, then moving the light to another layer and forgetting to move the target. This might be a Max bug and not corona. See attachments. Is this a bug? It's probably a button I clicked and don't remember.

I also had similar issues in the past (that may have been fixed) with corona camera targets resetting to zero and was never was sure if it's my workflow, something to do with switching between DOF override and target or a Max bug.


Thank you!

Thanks for taking a look guys. I'm running 6 HF2. I get the casting but occlude is unticked like frood said.  The alpha in VFB is just saved to jpg but not sure why the saved jpg looks different from the VFB.

For now I'm rendering another frame with the only light I want shadows for. Is there any other way to set up a scene with multiple lights but only 1 shadow in the same render? lightMix?

Thanks again!

I'm trying to add a shadow catcher floor but only have 1 light cast a shadow. But if I exclude other lights from the floor, the main light shadow in the alpha doesn't look correct. Not sure if this is the correct way to go about setting this up - any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks
