3ds nitrous (alt x) gives me a very strange, way too bright see-through object result. Retopo is difficult in this mode but views on youtube show that the demonstrator doesnt have the same problem so I think it is a setting I am missing. I have a nvidia GTS 250 card.
View 3 RepliesI normally press "j" to disable the bounding box. but when you press F3 for wireframe and then F3 again to return to realistic view, the bounding box turns back on. is this a "fix" or a bug?

I've been running into a frustrating limitation with certain keyboard shotcuts for Nitrous display modes. For example, if I try to use my old 2011 shortcut for "Viewport Box Mode Toggle", the bounding box displays on TOP of the current shaded/wire mode instead of toggling. If I change the assignment to the new Nitrous command "Viewport Visual Style Bounding Box", it is no longer a TOGGLE key and to go back I must then use the key assigned to "Viewport Visual Style Wireframes/Shaded" (or classic "Wireframe/Smooth+Highlights Toggle")...
BUT...
In Nitrous both of these wire/shaded toggle commands do not work properly if you are changing from another display type (such as box). Instead of toggling between wire/shaded, they toggle between wire and the last display mode. So in essence there is no way to toggle between Box and Shaded without r-clicking on the viewport label every time you want to return to shaded mode as far as I can tell. Not being able to quickly toggle Box mode really screws up my work flow, so for now I'm reverting back to DirectX.
how can you adjust the "Grab Viewport" -Animation Quality for Nitrous?
Rendering any one of the styles in Animation produces horrific quality, because the viewport renderer does not spend the few extra seconds necessary to generate nice antialiased image-quality.
there is no way to adjust the rendertime. Because this would make this valuable improvement 50% useless again, if you can not use it decently for this purpose.
When I import a dwg model exported from Revit, the curtain walls (frames and glass pannels) do not display with Nitrous. They are there and can be selected from the layer manager. They are visible if I add an Editable Mesh modifier.
DirectX and OpenGL display properly.
FBX import display properly
is this normal? my display is completly blown out when using the nitrous display. how can i fix it?
the first one is the display, the secon is the render. should they not look similar???
Is there a way NOT to improve the transparency in nitrous in realistic mode ? I really dislike the "noisy" display when moving around objects.
I know i can unselect the progressive refinement, but then the image stays noisy. I would like the transparency just to be as clean and fast as in the "shaded" mode.
I can see flat shading with direct 3d, but not on nitrous. it's unavailable on nitrous? it's a shame because flat is very good to see hue variations on textures and stuff like that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a horrible lag when trying to select objects in Nitrous display mode. When my FPS drop and navigation starts to lag, marquee selection also starts to lag proportionally to the FPS. If I draw a rectangle to select some objects, I have to wait about 3-4 seconds for the rectangular marquee to expand and reach my mouse cursor on more complex scenes. There's no such problems in Direct3D display mode. Even if the FPS drop to 1-2, selection remains lightning fast.
View 2 Replies View Relatedthe shape merge function (using cookie cutter) is not updating in the viewports when using nitrous? I am making a compound object using shape merge. I select a sphere (editiable poly), pick the shape (spline) and then press cookie cutter, and the vieport does not update. I have display result and update always on. Trid invert, etcetera. I cannot see the cutout portion in the viewport. When I render, the cutout portion is viewable.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor an example if I create a sphere, add a turbosmooth with 4 itterations and collapse it to an editable poly again. Then when I try to manipulate the mesh by draging vertices with or without soft selection or paint deformation I get around 10X faster performance with direct3d (roughly 40-50 fps compared to nitrous 4-5 fps).
I know that nitrous is slow with pflow and animation but I did not expect it to have such poor performance with modelling?!
I have the same effect on both of my workstations. Laptop with core2 quad extreme, 12 gig ram, quadro fx3700m, win7 x64. Dells latest graphics driver. Stationary computer with Xeon quadcore, 14 gig ram, geforce 285 gtx card and win xp 64. Latest nvidia driver.
Is there any way to force "shaded" mode in Nitrous to use scene lights and not default lights? We are doing tons of previs and when using "realistic mode" all of the grain and such with transparency, etc looks just awful. Shaded mode is SO much cleaner and faster, but under Nitrous it can no longer use scene lights to shade your objects. Under realistic mode you can turn shadows and AO off, but any transparency does the refinement process and never ends up looking totally clean.
Under shaded mode, transparency looks GREAT and is way faster. If there was only a way to enable scene lights instead of default lights it would be just like the old pre-nitrous days.
I was using 3ds Max 2013 without any service packs installed and my bitmap resolution on screen looked great. I have updated to service pack 5 and now the resolution looks low quality. I have to use large maps for my scenes example 12345 x 4610 px.
I have not changed the driver (Nitrous), under Display Performance I have Improve Quality Progressively and the Procedural Maps Display Resolution at 4096 pixels, and progressive display is on.
From what I've read "By default, Nitrous viewports load texture bitmaps at their full size."
How can I get the high resolution bitmap back? Is there a setting that I have missed?
We've currently switched over to 3Ds Max 2012 for production and installed the latest Hotfix and Service Pack 1
Our studio pipeline revolves around xref objects to manage large scenes.Upon switching to nitrous the xref materials are not visible in shaded Material Colour the Xref material appears in the material editor and it references to the appropriate .max file Yet in the viewport it will still appear shaded without textures/materials. It will render without issue but we need visibility in the viewport.
This does work under directX/opengl/software but the performance is greatly crippled.
pre 2012, if you had display edged faces on, the selected splines would turn white - so you could tell what was selected in viewport. using nitrous, this isn't possible for us. Open GL or Direct 3D work fine but not nitrous. or is this a bug?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I start to work on something in Photoshop CS6 and suddenly certain colors don't show up right. Specifically bright bright blues and greens show as black. It seems to work in 32-bit RGB, but these colors have worked fine in standard 8-bit and I've worked with them before. Thumbnails, color picker, and saving for web seem to load the colors just fine. From what I can tell, in this random range it goes to black with saturation hits 100 in the color picker.
Attached is a screenshot. The circle is supposed to be bright blue (00d4f6) and the central rounded square is supposed to be Twitter's blue. both don't show up except for some slight coloring on the edges.
Just bought a new computer with Windows 7 & Movie Maker. Had a difficult time getting the EasyCap to work after a success time using it on my old computer that had Windows XP.
The issue I am having now, after installing the correct drivers, is the image is very bright when using the EasyCap s-video connection. VideoStudio does not allow me to change any of the video settings, other than NTSC or S-video/composite. I also was able to use the EasyCap with Movie Maker, but the same bright image came up in that program.
Now, if I do use the composite connections, the image looks as it should with normal brightness and color. Of course, the loss of quality if visable between s-video and composite.
how to correct the brightness when using the s-video connection. It is possible the EasyCap s-video connection is corrupt, as the image and cords are working fine from the various setups I've tried.
i just upgraded to max 2012 and the default setup on mine is showing up very bright for some reason. like the ambient setting is at 50 but its set to solid black in both the material and the environment panel. i went through my normal routine of checking the exposure control and nothing.
