Title: Does Corona render XFrog trees in 3ds Max 2013
Post by: prosthotoothist on 2015-06-14, 20:45:10

Do any of you that use Corona also use XFrog plants and 3ds Max and have success rendering a scene?  I have tried over and over to get a properly rendered scene using different XFrog trees and so far, I have not had any success.  I am fairly sure that I have the maps properly located and identified in 3ds Max as to their location.  Even if I import and merge a tree into a 3ds Max scene, apparently there are missing maps.  I bought the Basic and the USA Conifers libraries several months ago and have yet to get a successful render!  I got so frustrated at first that I just decided to forget about using XFrog and searched for other plant libraries.  I downloaded the 4 free Laubwerk plants and trees and was very happy with the ease of using them and with their rendered quality, but so far, I have not purchased any of their products.  I was certainly hoping that I could get XFrog to work.

Obviously, I would like to be able to use the products that I purchased, so if someone can give me some suggestions about how to get the XFrog items to work properly, I will be most appreciative.

Regards,

Tom

I have a few free samples from xfrog and they all renders fine with Corona. The only thing that needs to be fixed is leaf material opacity problem, but that's easily fixable with DeadClown's material converter (one click solution).
