[Max] Bug Reporting / Black and White Masking Issue - Stroked/Halo Edges
« on: 2018-04-10, 20:17:35 »
Hoping the more technical-minded here can help me out with a really strange issue I'm having. If this isn't corona related then maybe I'll take it straight to Autodesk, haha. I haven't cross-tested in V-Ray.
ANYHOW
While doing product render tests, I've noticed that using an image for the mask of a layered or mix material gives an incorrect stroke appearance or halo of sorts around the text. I've tested this every way I know how - Using a white/black jpg, tiff, png, inverting the white/black jpg, tiff, png, testing all the different filtering methods, blur settings, as well as gamma changes, corona bitmap, max standard bitmap, corona layered material and standard mix material. Each time, same result.
HERE'S THE KICKER!
When its a white background (bottle) and black text, the sharpness reads perfectly, just as in the real photo. Both of those examples are attached here...
Anyone have any thoughts as to what this could be, or has anyone run into a similar issue in the past??
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
