[Max] I need help! / How to change only the root of the paths

« on: 2022-10-15, 09:30:56 »

Hi all,
there is a script that change all the internal paths of materials inside  .max file?
Examples:
E:\ folder\texrure.jpg  become \\server\folder\texture.jpg
E:\ other_folder\other_texture.jpg  became \\server\ other_folder\other_texture.jpg

Basically I would like to change only the root of the paths.

I use  Asset Tracking toggle inside max but is not so usefull for that specific function.

thank you

[Max] I need help! / Alpha channel retain refraction information

« on: 2022-01-21, 12:39:16 »

Hi all,
a classic basic situation, glass on window with backgrond.
As you can see when the alpha channel is applaied the glass retain the refraction information and this is a problem if i want to change the background.
I think that it should be an option on material setup  (glass in this case) to retain only the trasparency information or only the reflection information.

At the moment my trick is create alpha from wirecolormask and apply to it the CESSENZIAL_reflect.
There is a more efficent way?

thank you
