Title: "Show shaded material in viewport" not works.
Post by: cecofuli on 2013-03-28, 16:04:37

Hi,
as in the title, "Show Shaded material in viewport" (button gray-out in the Material editor) not works.
Is it possible to solve this problem?
Thank =)

You should use the button from a bitmap or other map, then it will be active and working.

I know, but without this "option" no one of these tools work.
They are very useful to show in one "shot" all the textures in viewport.
Without it's not possible... or very difficult and time consuming! :-(

This might be useful.

Also: turning on viewport visibility for ColorMapper map = sudden death.

fixed.


About the main issue: I tried it, it kept crashing, so I reverted it since it is not a big deal. In time I need to get into the ADN program to get info about how to integrate the materials/other objects into viewport (especially nitrous) better.

So, now, in the new build, can we turn off & on the texture with the 3ds max default tools?  =) Good!

No, but I won't be able to do anything about it for a while, so I've put it into my internal "when I have autodesk support" todo ;)

It's nice to have this option, but I don't know why it's _that_ necessarry. I mean, if you want to have your bitmap mapped to an object, than you can enable it to be shown in the viewport. Otherwise I think you can configure your materials and their details in the material editor quite well (in my opinion, Corona has the far best material preview, especially if you increase the quality of it in the corona settings). For the overall feeling usually a diffuse map or color is enough in my opinion.

Come on, seriously. Just click that button inside of the bitmap, not the material itself, but bitmap you want to show up in viewport. It's that simple. No, you really do not have to do dozens of test renders to show mapping, you can simply view the textures in viewport.

Thank you, it's working!

The show material in viewport is still unclickable but you dont need to click it because the material is now automatically show in viewport anyway.

Over 2 years after that. Everyone know this except you at the moment. And you absolutely dont know this problem was solved in v1.5.
