I've never used this feature in the reflect/refract maps before but I'm following a few different tutorials and for whatever reason the last step where I "pick object and render maps" doesn't show a prompt, render anything, or do anything but select the object that I wanted to render the cubic map from.
Just thought I'd ask before I start installing old versions of max to try it out there.
I have many drawings with blocks containing polylines set with property Fit/Smooth = cubic. For conversion purposes, I need to change them to FIt/Smooth = none. It is easy with the Properties palette but, because I have lots of drawings to fix, I want to write a lisp routine. Any VLA-SET-xxx property that will allow me to do it in lisp?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI was just doing a bunch of test renders and playing with lights when a weird render turned up out of nowhere that is sort of a transparent red and black? This happened yesterday, but it actually crashed maya. This time around, it didn't crash, but I'm unable to save my scene. This is the log for the error:
file -f -save -options "v=0" -type "mayaAscii";

I have a strange problem with Max 2012. Scanline renderer is 10 times slower than 3ds max 2009. Why is that? All the settings are the same. Also, the rendered frame window is very slow too - when I pan around there is a horrible delay/stuttering whereas in Max 2009 I can pan around in real time.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I save a render as PNG and then open it in Photoshop, it doesn't have the alpha channel, just R,G & B channels. The PNG Configuration Setup when saving the image has of course Alpha channel box checked, but is not available when I open the file in Photoshop.
Note: I was able to do this in 2008 version.
The issue that I am seeing is that BB 2012 is slower at rendering than BB 2008.
1. The server hardware is the same with no other changes other than upgrading to BB 2012. I uninstalled 2008.1 prior to the upgrade.
I am trying to bake a light map by using render to texture. However, for some reason, whenever I render in a texture higher than256x256, it cuts off some portion of the map at the top. I do have the unwrap all in the box. This seems to just happen at random. I had this happen in 3dsmax 2013 on windows 7. I now have windows 8 and 3ds max 2014, but it is still doing it. I am, however, using the save from the former.

I have been using Max 2012 with Backburner 2013 without a problem for the last 8 months. I have just finished a project so I thought I would test the same project that works fine on 2012 on 2013.
On the render server everything works fine. On all the render nodes I get the following error
Application Load error 3ds max adapter error 3ds max process no response
3ds max 2013 is installed on all the render nodes.
I'm really getting tired of problems going from 1 version to the next. how much time goes into testing new versions each year. I would gladly have less upgrades but upgrades that work

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a project right now where i need to use creased edges for sculpting.
I'm on Mudbox 2012 SAP 1, as mentioned in the title
Importing the FBX from Maya with smooth on (smooth preview) So The sculpying itself goes well.
But when it comes to transfert detail on creased topology, the problems start to emerge from the myst..................
So. I get ugly artefacts on the creased edges locations. I can bust'em out, but its very time consuming.
So Transfert to a non creased topology. Lovely transfert with no errors.
Then extracting vector displacement from the non-creased topology and the result is bad when rendering. The mesh looks smoothed without the sharp corners present on the sculpt.
So, trying to extract with non-creased topo as source and creased as target. Better, but still not good. Tryed use crease and hard edges, subdivided target topo.. Almost anything in fact.
Even flatten the non-creased topo before extracting maps. I'm loosing my teeth, weight, and my son doesn't remember my name.
Any workflows with creased edges ? Is the hole stuff better implemented in Mudbox 2013 ?
We have been generating technical illustrations using Mental Ray in Maya 2011 with brilliant results. The studio upgraded to Maya 2012 and we now find that when we render any existing scenes, or any new scenes using entirely Maya 2012 nodes, we don't have any contour lines.
Our scenes are setup as follows:
Materials - Contour_Shader_Simple.outValue > ShadingGroup.miContourShader
Cameras - Contour_Composite.message > Camera.miOutputShader
Render Globals - Mental Ray Tab > Contours > Contrast Shader > Contour_Contrast_Function_Levels
Render Globals - Mental Ray Tab > Contours > Store Shader > Contour_Store_Function
why the scenes now don't have any contour lines?

Recently installed the upgrade of AutoCAD 2012 from AutoCAD 2011.
It did not seem to migrate things very well? My PGP did not follow over and in addition to a few other settings.
I use the esc (escape) key to end a string of comands or if I want to go another direction. In AutoCAD 2012 when I hit the esc key on my keyboard it does NOTHING?
It is a key on my keyboard, not a keystroke shortcut?

I am a middle school teacher with a lab of 25 Dell Precision T1600 desktops. I just installed Inventor on all the computers and it works beautifully on 24 of them. On one of them, when you choose the "start" menu, nothing happens. If you click a second time, the area where the menu should be is black and the program stops working. The computers are running Windows 7 and with it working on 24 not sure why it wouldn't work on the 25th.
I have reinstalled 3 times, but nothing seems to work.
Just installed 2012 from 2000. Plot style table (file copied from old installation) has all colors set to grayscale=off but is printing with grayscale.

When I either click on the toolbar or type 'spe or '_spe in the middle of a command, they don't work like the other transparent commands. When I click on toolbar by itself, I get an error "Unknown comment "SPE". The other transparent commands say something like "PSE must be called from within another command".
Also, is the actual comment 'spe the command name or is it an alias. I was thinking that if I knew the command name, I could create another allias as a work around.
This is happening on multiple computers.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI opened a .JT files without issues, it shows the model as it suppose to do and also without errors. When I try render it, it disappears. The same happens when exporting to STEP.
And it is also not possible to make a section view. I have the feeling that is has to do with the fact that JT files are use for visualization. Something with nodes? Is there a way to convert the JT file that it acts as a normal Inventor file?
I render 36 frames from different angles to PNG files on 3Ds Max 2013 but now I want to hide a model and make it so all the parts its blocking to also become transparent.
If you don't understand what I mean I don't want to simply "hide" the instance because then all the parts in the back that otherwise would be invisible would become visible, I just want those parts to become transparent as if I "subtract" the image of the hidden instance out of the final render image.
Like the 3d model is invisible but erases anything behind it.
As 3dsmax is used in so many different areas, I try to get an overview of the use of multi-channel OpenEXR files. EXR files are usually used as an intermediate file format to hand over cg footage to compositing for further processing. Different compositing packages are handling EXR's more or less comfortable. My guess would be and that is not meant as a judgment if you comp in afx, it is less likely that you use EXR files, but when you comp with nuke, I am pretty sure you do. With composite and fusion somewhere inbetween. Also, when you work in ArchViz and MoGraph you propeably prefer psd files, while when you do tv commercials and film works, you are more likly to use EXR.
The questions in the poll are meant in a general way. It doesn't mean when you vote 'Yes' that you exlusivly render to EXR.

Makes me what to go back to model space sheet set up. I already did the changes to settings that someone posed "NEW Autocad Performance Tips". I notice a small performance enhancement but still very slow compared to paper space. this happened in files with one layout tab or 10.

I ran into a problem with the structural member wizard today. I was making up a bunch of glulams and everything was doing just fine, then all of a sudden the wizard stopped accepting new values for the member depth. No matter what you try to enter, it is rejected and a value of 1'-0" is placed in the field. It will accept new values for both width and lamination depth however. I tried to make a member of another material (steel) just in case it was just the glulams. No luck, they behave the same way, you can't set the beam depth. I also tried restarting ACA, working in a completely new (and clean) file, as well as restarting my computer, it didn't work.
I really don't want to have to go through the repair/reinstall circus if I don't have to.
