Title: Material Override doesn't work
Post by: lightwriter on 2025-07-25, 17:46:03

Hi there!

I'm working on a project and I'm trying the Material Override. However, it simply doesn't work. I closed 3ds Max and reopened it, but the problem remains. What can I do?

Software:
3ds Max 2024
Corona 12 Update 1

Your UI is showing "0 objects included". Open the Include / Exclude dialog, and swap from Include mode to Exclude mode. Right now, your override will only affect objects that are explicitly listed as included in the Include / Exclude list. Swapping to Exclude will mean that "0 objects get excluded" (you will want to check that the "Preserve" options are set to preserve your glass to continue to let light into the scene).

Thank you, that solved my issue!
