[Max] Bug Reporting / Baking to Texture bg issue

« on: 2021-02-23, 14:16:53 »

Hello,
I'm using Bake To texture for my AO/shadows maps (for some 3DrealTime stuff), and i often get some dark "contours" around the UVunwrap parts.
Even with larger padding.

Solution could be to set the background to white, so i've set it, both in BakeToTexture and Corona Params.
But the BG remains black.

See attached.

I will use alpha, but i can also get some AA contours.

Can you guys let BakeToTexture set Bg to chosen color ?

Best regards.

Would have to do it without caustics - best way I can think of is a light projecting a caustics texture (the old way of faking caustics for such a scenario :) )

I did that also, as i bought a "caustics generator" license, back in the old days...
But i was trying to be more accurate / nice...

here is the test i've made, as you can see, we have caustics from ocen's plane, but the only godray we get is from ocean's border.

Hello there, does anyone know how to reach this effects : God rays underwater.

See example.

{Edit] : it seams that volume shader god-rays does not work with caustics, as the ocean plane sends caustics, but blocks the light for volume shader.

FTH is caught by Corona's error messaging. But yeah, it is a good idea to disable it nonetheless.

I had a chat with Naxos some time ago, and it seemed that the slowdown could have been related to Windows Update doing things in the background. Hope that's the culprit.

i don't think it is that now, but here is the CPU usage process list, if you find something...
