[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Batch image editor stops after 33 frames.
« Last post by maru on Yesterday at 16:55:10 »There are two issues here:
1 - The path to CIE is wrong in the script - this will be fixed and the file will be updated in the Help Center
2 - The 33 files limit. I tried it and got a 59 files limit. After consulting with ChatGPT, it turns out there is a limit of characters that can be ran as a single command, and the current .bat script used to hit that limit. The exact number of processed files would depend on your filenames length. After torturing ChatGPT for some more time, I got a working PowerShell script which overcomes the character limit. Simply run the .bat file from the attached archive. It will think for a while and then spit out all the processed files. It may seems slow at first, but I don't think it is.

[Max] I need help! / Re: Corona to Vantage animation exposure issue
« Last post by Benjamin_A on Yesterday at 15:40:30 »Thanks for the replies.
I did try TomG's suggestion but this didn't seem to work for me. The file I'm trying to use is 7.5GB so its extremely slow to setup the live link (although it does work). I'm hoping next week I'll have a bit more time to test this with a simpler scene to be sure then I'll feedback.
Thanks again

« Last post by TomG on Yesterday at 15:36:18 »Yeah for me too, in that side by side I'd have taken the left one as being "new and improved" haha, but turns out that's the old one - and I very much prefer it :O

[Max] I need help! / Re: Random by tile - brightness variations and mushy seams
« Last post by romullus on Yesterday at 15:29:50 »I see. Glad to not have to deal with those new colour management stuff. Will stay with gamma workflow as long as possible.

« Last post by maru on Yesterday at 15:25:13 »There is no gamma override when using the OCIO workflow. :)
I guess the normal map was originally loaded with OCIO/ACES applied and this caused the issue.

« Last post by romullus on Yesterday at 15:22:20 »Reload the texture you are using for your normals, but in the 3ds Max "Select Bitmap" dialog click on the "data image" button and only then open it. This will load the texture in "raw" mode and it should appear correctly, with no brightness variations.
Are you saying that pressing data image button is not the same as manually overriding gamma to 1.0?
