Running 3DS Max 2012, service pack 1 on Windows 7 64bit, mental ray rendered animations render with random black blocks scattered through the animation.
We have reduced the number of rendered frames to 50 but the problem persists.
I have scene that I uses videopost glow, when I try to render from videopost to BB Max2012 starts and render the first frame, then hangs so I need to turn the power off.But I just render the same scene localy it works just fine.With my old installtion 2011 this was working just fine, and if I render from the standard render to BB it works, it´s only when render from videopost.

I have a 2gb video card, 4.1Ghz overclocked processor and about 8GB of RAM. Perhaps I havn't allocated enough memory to render an image of this size?
I just installed AutoCAD2012 and can't find how to change rendering background. I want to get white background, but it always coming as grey. Where to find that option for changing color of rendering background ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding display problems when I import my Inventor assembly into Showcase and try to apply ray tracing. The assembly file is now missing some part and does not display at all. The assembly file is model that has been designed with frame generator however some of these framed generated parts just don't display. The strange this is they do display in other less desired formats such as shaded etc but not when ray tracing.

why my interior rendering scenes just show up black. I have opened up projects from previous releases that I was able to get interior scenes to render correctly and they render fine in 2013. I've imported the modified fixtures to the current projects file and they still don't do anything. The scene I'm talking about has a ceiling modeled on the underside of a floor. I've read this may be an issue, but my light fixtures light source is to be 1/4" above the plane of the ceiling. In my case, it's a 5/8" layer of drywall.

I have a Revit 8.1 project that renderes the model just fine. When I import it into Revit 2010 it also remders the model but I have to reassign the custom finishes. But when I upgrade it to 2012 and render - the walls and floors are suddenly missing!

Every time I render a scene one side of my building are always solid black. How can I make the shadows be more transparent?

View 1 Replies View RelatedBefore in CS5 when you click an option, the text would turn white, now they stay black making them hard to see. It seems to be desktop appearance specific so if I change my desktop theme the background color would change making the black text easier to see (text stays black). This seems like a bug, because the highlited text color should turn to white not stay black. Which was how it was in CS5.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSince the install, 3ds Max 2012 has been acting strangely and will not display the perspective viewport correctly. It shows up as pitch black. However, when I nudge it via a "pan" or "rotate" mouse movement it momentarily displays correctly, then reverts to black.
I have installed SP1, Hotfix 1, Hotfix 2, and a new driver for my video card (Nvidia Quadro 4000).
I had a few exterior elevations (actual design elevations not 3d) of a building that looked great and had nice shadows and materials and everything was wonderful until today when I turned off a couple section marks and a level mark and then the back turned black and the dialog box in Graphic Display Options does not show the background section anymore?Now I can't even get rid of the black background!!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make my image fade to black on one side. I have read the blend tool tutorial in the user manual but all I can get to hap pen is a black and white gradient completely covering my image. I have tried adding a transparent layer over the image and applying the gradient to it but for some reason when one side of the image (using the linear mode) starts to get darker, the other side gets lighter, creating a severely distorted contrast with the image, plus the fade covers an entire half of the image.

I have a title block that when inserted in the drawing 1st time all is well, colours are correct, close the drawing down & re-open & all the colours are redefined to the layer it's inserted on.!
Now, if i press U (undo) 3 times it reverts back to it's orginal state, colours etc. find attached F2 info:
Redefining colors for block: _a0_J .undo Current settings: Auto = On, Control = All, Combine = Yes, Layer = Yes Enter the number of operations to undo or [Auto/Control/BEgin/End/Mark/Back] <1>: end .regen Regenerating layout.

Now if I do the same thing in MEP2012 all is well! !
I want to insert a text into a block that contains a field. The field I want to look up the value of an attribute that is also contained in the block. Now when I have this complete and then change the block attribute the fields do not update to the new value of the attribute. An example file is attached.
Now I am open to creating the block in a different way, so any way to make this concept work? I want everything to be contained in the block.
I already tried to work around my problem by making 2 separate attributes, where the 2nd attribute contains the field that looks up the value of the 1st attribute - this did not work. Another thing I tried was after the block was made, I edit the 2nd attribute by inserting the field and this worked fine - the down side is that the field is not the default of the attribute (so the block must already be present in the drawing model space and that instance must be copied to make more).
I've been working on several projects that require drafting in metric units and I'm having difficulty inserting block dwgs. into my working drawing at the correct scale.
My block drawing is set to millimeters. I've drawn my block and measured it. All is ok.
UNITS = milimeters; INSUNITS = 4
My working drawing is in millimeters. All line work is dimensioning accurately.
UNITS = milimeters; INSUNITS = 4
When I insert the block, it comes in extremely small. When I click on the block properties, it says it's units are in millimeters and the scale is 1. As it should be correct? except for the fact that its about 25x smaller then it should be. This leads me to believe there is an inch insertion factor some where.
To add to the conundrum, if I xref the block dwg into my working file, it comes in at the correct size. Is there an alternative block insertion scale factor setting that I'm not seeing?
I been working through Ellen Finklesteins AutoCad bible (using AutoCad Architecture 2012) and in the first exercise (quick start, drawing a window) I was going ok until I had to edit the title block and no matter what I tried in AutoCad Architecture 2012 I could not find a way to edit the title block. Maybe I should have bought a book that was specific to AutoCad Architecture 2012.

View 0 Replies View RelatedI am the only one using C3D 2012 in our office and the other users are complaining that they cannot insert blocks or paste clipboard content into drawings that I have saved from C3D 2012. This is true whether I use "C3D as AutoCAD" or the full C3D functionality. I understand that the newer C3D objects are not compatible with the older version but to my knowledge there are no C3D objects included in the drawings in question.
C3D 2009 users can wblock the drawing contents from the Model tab and each Layout tab, and reassemble those parts. Then they are able to insert blocks and paste content again. It is a very inconvenient solution and we only use it when the situation is critical. It also breaks sheet view linkage to our Sheet Sets when we do the wblock fix.
I've asked the others to try using Design Center or Windows paste (CTRL+V) and see if that works the next time they encounter the problem. I don't have C3D 2009 installed or I would have tested these ideas already. The others will not install C3D 2012 and so far the owner's will not force them to.
tool palettes from a directory called ACAD2008 to ACAD2012. Tool palettes can't find the associated blocks because the support path still points to the ACAD200 Directory.
Is there a way to "globally" change the associated path? There are too many blocks to think about changing each one manually.
i have a simple block of text on a PS doc that is supposed to be black (i've checked many times and it's color =000000) but it looks gray on screen and prints gray. i checked opacity. it's 100%. i tried opening a new PS doc to see if somehow the doc itself was messed up, but i have the same problem in a brand new doc. make sure it wasn't a printer issue, i printed some text in MS Word and it got black just fine.
