General CG Discussion / Re: Which one is better choice for advanced modeling?

This would be quite simple to model in solidworks, especially if you have the object to hand and a good ruler + pair of digital calipers.
Perforated holes can be taken care of with the Fill Pattern feature.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: When fix kelvin temp in Corona lights?!

« on: 2017-02-27, 18:01:01 »

Was wondering about this too. Being able to set lights up to realistic temperatures would be really useful.

[Max] I need help! / Re: Proxy display as pointcloud

« on: 2017-02-23, 12:12:46 »

The problem has come back again in all graphics modes (except legacy D3D which shows the points as tiny pixels and runs much slower)

It seems to be quite specific though: only the existing corona proxies in the scene fail to display as point cloud. If I create a new CProxy and load the same .cgeo file it works fine.

So for now I can do a clone+align of new proxy objects, but would be good to know if they will randomly stop working again as it does make my scene considerably slower if I have to set everything to full mesh view.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
John

[Max] Bug Reporting / Black material alpha on LightMix saved as .exr

« on: 2017-01-11, 15:12:47 »

I've just noticed that all materials in my scene with the alpha mode set to 'always black' have also made that portion of the lightmix render elements black in the outputed .EXR (opened in photoshop). I hope that makes sense.
Is this an expected behaviour?

Thanks,
John

That was with nitrous direct3d 11.0 = all proxy not showing. Changed to D3D9.0 and it's all working now.

Thanks Maru.

When I select this option nothing shows, at any % displayed. All else works as expected.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
