[Max] I need help! / shadow catcher

« on: 2021-07-14, 20:09:54 »

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

I understand why the alpha isnt saved when saving all in the VFB but would it hurt to just save the alpha? whats the cons?

[Max] I need help! / Re: IPR render looks denoised (but it is not denoised) - which is the reason ?

« on: 2020-11-04, 18:58:05 »

Hi,
My interactive renders use the fast denoising but when I try to use the Nvidia GPU AI for my final render I don't see it having any affect. I installed Corona 6 HF1 and made sure the separate NvidiaAiDenoiser file was in the same folder. I also updated my 1080ti with the latest drivers. Any idea why it's not being used in final rendering?
Thanks

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: spinning values with default 2.0 image upscale won't refine until mouse release

« on: 2020-10-11, 22:31:29 »

after more testing I think this is caused by something else. When I minimize all my other windows on multiple monitors and bring the material editor over to the main monitor, it updates interactively with the default 2.0. So it's probably my computer setup.

[Max] Bug Reporting / spinning values with default 2.0 image upscale won't refine until mouse release

Not sure this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. But I really liked how interactive would update as I spin the environment around. But I can only see the image update interactively while keeping the mouse pressed when the image upscaling factor is at 1.0. I need to release the mouse press on the default 2.0 to see the image update. Thanks

Can you please clarify if you are using anything other than 100% windows scaling?

Ahhh. That was it. Now I can select if my main monitor is at 100%. Thanks!

Just had a client who needed work tonight.

Upgraded.

More materials. Better VFB. Simpler UI.

Thank you!

Only question I have (which is not critical) is:
How do I sample select a color using the corona improved picker across multiple monitors? It seems I still need to move the chrome browser to the max screen, resize both apps and then select.

Wow looks nice! Did you model the chamfers or use round edges?

I tried setting the windows defender antivirus to disabled in the local group policy editor but didn't notice anything. Do I need to also turn off the windows firewall?
On a side note, after I disabled defender qtwebengineprocess.exe started running in the background and maxed out 128gb of ram. I deleted the 3ds max install folder, which contains qtwebengineprocess.exe, sitting on my desktop and that problem went away. But I think it's unrelated to disabling the defender antivirus.
