General CG Discussion / Re: Anima actors get invisible after re-opening the scene

« Last post by mark_yang on Today at 23:10:09 »

Hello there,

I know there is dedicated Anima forum but it looks completely silent. Any help would be appreciated as I am running out of time.

I use Anima drop to populate my scene with people. If I save that 3ds max scene file, close it and re-open it, the Anima actors are invisible both in viewport and render. I can find and select them through scene exploder but they keep invisible.

Anima must keep the background license authorization to use normally. We often log in to the anima license on another machine. When this machine restarts and opens the max file, the anima characters in it will be invalid.
I appreciate any help.

Christos

Hey big thanks for that, if could well be that alright (hole pattern/size) ,
I'll drop them into scene and see if it looks better than what i was getting but that definitely the look im trying to get, :-)

I think it's a matter of getting hole sizes right. Of course 3D having holes made with geometry instead of simple opacity on a flat plane also adds quite a lot. Corona pattern here is the perfect tool for the job.

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Are you still using the old VFB?

« Last post by jojorender on Today at 17:14:05 »

C4D - VFB 1

VFB 2.0 UX is a step backward and a insult to the users. All the issues should be clear by now.
Also, the inability to undock/resize the Curves window has been an issue since it was removed from VFB 1.0 — and it’s still missing in V13-VFB 2.0.
This isn’t about old vs. new versions; it’s about ignoring long-standing, basic usability requests.
To be clear, I’m NOT posting this in the hope that VFB2 will improve. I’m just begging you to not remove the old VFB.

[Max] I need help! / Rendering animation in Vantage.

« Last post by Redeemer on Today at 16:56:17 »

Hi!

I do a lot of nautic visualizations and animations and I was wondering how I can render the 3ds max animation I made in Vantage WITH use of a waterplane. Is there a workaround to add this inside vantage somehow, because using a plane with a phoenix oceantex doesnt translate to vantage.

Just to add this: IF the issue is blocky shadows, I found a thread that reports this with some discussion on the topic and the solution (same one I posted above).
