[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Render selected + visible in masks issues

« on: 2019-07-15, 11:12:03 »

Hi,
any news about this old bug?
I found a similar (if not the same) behaviour: in a scene with a background, I want to "render select" (or use an include/exclude list) only an object
but it cames up in the render another object, with a glass material, if it has the option "visible in mask" unchecked as in this case;
another way to not have the glass object to appear is to check the "Thin" option so indeed it's related to refraction too.
I attach a sample scene.
Thank you!
Man

Hi All,
for those who care...
I made a new version of WAcky mod of original Sergo Pogosyan's Automultimatte script...
I added the possibility to choose monochromatic to make render elements.
I'm not a good script writer at all, so there may be a lot of bugs and a not elegant code.. but it seem to work.

So here it is.

Thank you Frood, it works!
But don't you consider a bug that the volumetric part doesn't fade using opacity?
Don't mind, I just read your statement in the link you provided.
But I don't get why it works in this way

[Max] Bug Reporting / Render time boolean with volumetric scattering bug

« on: 2019-06-12, 11:54:33 »

Hi All,

searching on the forum I didn't find a similar report so I hope it's not a duplicate:

Using corona distance map in a render time boolean, if a material uses volumetric scattering, with absortion color different from pure white, it doesn't work as expected.
If needed I'll upload the scene.
Tested on Max 16/19 and corona 3/4.

Thanks,
Manuel

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Lights - Hide in Display Floater

« on: 2019-05-31, 10:01:04 »

I'm riturning on this becouse I think it's a bug, or, at least, very annoying...
I think that "Hide by category" should work only at viewport level, which is how it is intended to work as you can read here:
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/3DSMax/files/GUID-17B0FB7F-543B-4727-A16B-EAAF80922666-htm.html
Why should I hide all lights as the render would be black?
If I activate render hidden lights it would override all my selection on hidden lights on scene explorer... so not so usefull
I'm not sure but a friend confirmed me that in Vray if you hide lights by category, they works in render.

[Max] I need help! / Re: Script for tilling all the different maps

« on: 2019-04-29, 10:14:50 »

We use a tool like this one: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/advanced-uv-normalizer
You make all objects use the same texel density so you have to adjust the tile only the first time.

What do you think about it?

Hi WAcky,
very usefull script!

Is there a way to create monochromatic elements instead of RGB?
As far as I know masking of materials nested in layered materials doesn't work: only base material will appear in mask.
So there is a way not to create all those unusefull masks?

Thank you very much for your work

Amazing!
Do you think is it possible to add the id and render elements for all the scene materials?
I think it would be just perfect with this feature

Thank you very much for your work!
