3ds Max :: Render Settings For Texture Baking
Sep 15, 2013
Any good 3d party texture baker. They bake hi-res things forever and neigther can bake complex procedural shaders and details with transparency properly.
Is there any 3d party render that could be considered for texture baking? I tried Vray but it's even slower in baking. Is there anything other to try? I mean something with a speed of Modo texture baking for example?
Looking for uick render settings for texture baking? Mental rey or scanline. Prerhaps I should degerade or avoid something not tailored for texture baking. What would be a prefered way for indirect illumination or ambient occlusion? Is there a renderer that would respect edited vertex normals on low poly shells while doing baking?

I'm working to Move Revit architectural files to 3ds Max, there use Vray for ligting and materials, texturebaking everything and moving it into unity. But I’ve run into allot of problems. I manage to get all the stages done, but there is so much “hands on fixing” that it’s not a viable workflow in RL projects.
My largest problem is removing all unwanted polygons and geometry before texturebaking. From revit you get a lot of faces that won’t ever be seen, like inside walls, in between there floors ect. For instance if I was doing an interior I would like to be able to quickly remove all unseen polygons and exterior faces that won’t be seen. Otherwise texturebaking is a pain. It will texturebake huge areas that won’t ever be seen making the process long and affecting resolution. Manualy removing all areas that won’t be seen is not an option.

The same scene, same settings, produce 2 very different outputs in max 2011 and 2012, render to texture for normals is currently useless in max 2012.
The blue one is a correct tangent normal map created from a sphere in max 2011, the colored one is the the one created inside max 2012 from the same objects and settings, and the last is another sample of normals generated in max 2012.

i'm experimenting with texture baking / render to texture. I've setup a simple scene with a box and a sphere and a omni light, no exposure, mental ray. I've rendered to texture the "complete map" for both. Then i've switched to default scanline renderer, put the baked materials to 100 self illumination, but the result (on the right) is more saturated and darker of the original render (on the left).
I've tried with different setups, but the result is the same.

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.

Is it possible to render to texture with the gamma set to 2.0?
I am working with Vray and i set the gamma to 2.0, the render works fine, but the Render to Texture seems to be bypassing and neglecting this value set in the Vray/Color Management, and the Gamma LUT settings, and it renders dark textures.

I'm trying to bake a material using render to texture dialog. The issue is that whenever i render a diffuse map, it only renders the faces visible in the viewport im working in. The rest of the uv faces are rendered black. All the tutorials i look at never have this problem. What's the issue?

I've rendered out hundreds of these before in 3DS max 2011 with no issue but in 2012 and 2013 the background colour of my ambient occlusion renders are black instead of being white for all the objects selected except for the first one. What's going wrong?
I set the colour to white in the render to texture window and if I select a single model it works fine but if I select the same model plus others, the first one is saved fine but the others all have a black background. I'm saving them as TGAs which is my preferred option and as I said has been working in 2011.

I saw a max demo at a show where they shattered the wall in a video/photo. The artist baked the background image to three planes (floor and two walls) like shown in the illustration, and then exploded one of these planes. It involved some kind of texture baking, but I didn't catch the whole process.

I can't seem to get max to render to texture properly with network rendering. it renders just fine on one machine, but whenever i run it through the network option it saves the wron part of the strip.
I have tried it with several different machines and several different files and none of them work.

I have to bake all textures in a 3DSmax / mental ray scene.I'm using "Render to texture" and I have 2 big problems :
1) How can I change the type of image file ? When only one object is selected I can access to "File Name and Type", but when all my scene objects are selected this option is not available. So the baked textures are .tga
2) The baked textures have a gamma value = 1. It's too dark, and I want a 2.2 gamma value.

Inside 3ds max, both render to texture and compact material editor windows are not popping out.
I tried re-installing twice, installed latest subscription pack also. but still i am facing same.

I have got troubles with textures in the new Inventor 2013. When I try to programmatically change a texture in a render style of a part (no matter, whether I use an existing render style or create a new one), when I set the texture file name, Inventor throws an exception "Bad argument". In Inventor 2012, it worked. How textures should be set in the new Inventor?
Sample
PartDocument partDoc = ... some initialization
RenderStyle newRenderStyle = partDoc.RenderStyles.Add("newRenderStyle");
newRenderStyle.TextureFilename = newTexFilename; //this throws an exception bad format, even if the texture is in the Inventor textures directory
partDoc.ActiveRenderStyle = newRenderStyle;

I have a DSLR camera canon 550d,i shoot videos in pal 1280-50p and I want to know what is the best rendering settings in COREL PRO X4 to this kind of file? COREL has two options : WMV 720P and HDV 720P are they good? Or should I build a specific template file.

basically I record using the hauppauge HD-PVR which records the clips in the M2TS format. I've been using Videostudio Pro X3 to edit the files and rendering them and have had no problems until now. I used to render my videos using the WMV HD 720 25p setting and the quality has always been perfect.
Recently though I tried to render a video using the same setting and it renders the video really quickly and the quality looks terrible.How to fix it so it renders the way it used to or would know another format that would give me the same results?
I was thinking of re installing pro X3 in the hope of it working the way it used to but i don't know if i will lose all my projects that i'm currently working on.

Just installed Extension for Maya 2014 SP 1.
When I open a fresh scene, load MR and go to Render Settings my Quality, Indirect Lighting and Options tabs are not working. Quality is minimised to the top left and the others are blank.
I've tried the following :
- Uninstalling Mental Core
- deleting all prefs, scripts etc
- deleteUI unifiedRenderGlobalsWindow; buildNewSceneUI;
Attached are what I see in each of the problem tabs and below is all output from the script editor as I open Maya, load mental ray and then click on each tab in turn.
file -f -new;
// Warning: file: D:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2014/scripts/startup/rememberViewportSettings.mel line 43: Active stereo does not work with Aero enabled. Active stereo has been disabled. //

In my project I use an off-screen device to render the scene; I need to tweak some render settings (just load a default preset could be a good starting point), but I can't figure out how to do this with an off-screen device!

I've even tried the old open a new file, and import the file that has no render setting information, and that works maybe 10% of the time.

I modeled a female body and imported from 3DSMAX to mudbox to texture but now i'm having trouble on baking the displacement map in MUDBOX. I'm using tiff 32 bit floating,7 x 7k, with search distance of 4 (i believe it's a relative good number). My source model is step 0(with about 2 million faces) and the other is step 2(with aprox. 6 million faces). I'm using target to closest model, smoothing only the source and wht i get is this: a big black image with one or another gray dot.
I saw several tutorials about wht might be. I changed several times the search distance, and also tried to bake in max. Nothing seems to work. Mudbox keeps leving me with a blck image and max gives me something strange that works a little as a displacement map but it is totaly untileble.The two images attached are from mudbox. One as i get, and in the other i tried messing with levels in photoshop but it didn't work too.

I get an error both in Mudbox 2013.sp3 and 2013.sp2 when baking using subdivision method. Its reported ' too many extraordinary vertices found face , need to subdivide the mesh' and the extraction failed.
The model imported fine into Mudbox in the first place, Is there a particular count for extraordinary vertices ?
As far as I know, extraordinary vertices are as follows
Valency 3 : 3 faces connected at a single vertex
Valency 5 : 5 faces connected at a single vertex
Valenecy 5 or higher : lots of faces connected at a single vertex (top of maya sphere)
Most meshs contain valency 3 or 5, and mostly 4, why would mud box have issues with a model like this ?
Should I check for areas where there's lots of density of faces at a single vertex, or check for multiple extraordinary vertices that are close by ? Anything in UV spa

When i press play on physx toolbar everything is simulating fine, from start to end.Problem is when i want to bake physics simulation to keyframes.
3dsmax freezes and whole process is taking a lot of time, about 8 hours.
Simulation without baking is taking only 20min.
3dsmax file before baking process have 20MB and file after baking have 9GB
Is there other, more efficient way to bake physics dynamics or to simulate physics Maybe using particles with physics? particle toolbox #2 ?

I have 20+ layers that all need the same levels adjustment, so I put them in a group, and applied a Levels Adjustment Layer to the group.
Is there a way to bake that adjustment in to every individual layer, while retaining them as separate layers?

We're experiencing some artefacts near UV seams on our baked displacement maps. We have a clean, multiple UV-tile model which is subdivided, sculpted etc. Baking uses subdivision method, smooth target mesh and UVs on (we render with prman). Edge bleed is default 2, anti aliasing to x2.
Then test the map out by bringing the target model back in, subdivide up to the corresponding level, and sculpt using maps. The artefacts are not everywhere, just on some UV boundaries in some areas, very strange. The UV boundaries are clean quads, same spacing, good use of UV space. My concern is its in sporadic regions, and not globally over all seams.

For my 3D scene, I have to use a texture file on the floor. If I use the only file, than it looks really boring and below par. What I want is, I want to generate some (around 6-8) texture files within the original texture file - so the colors of all the texture files remain same but only the texture varies.Likewise there are more than 500 texture files and I just can't do them manually. Is there any way out to do this in Photoshop?

I have a lava texture and a ground texture. I'd like to be able to make some cracks on the ground texture that would show through the lava texture below it. Something like a cracked mud look. I would be using this for a game I'm making form some terrain textures. Are there any plugins that would aid in making these transparent cracks and perhaps even add depth to the cracks?
I guess a spider web where the spider was on crack would be something I'm looking for. Similar to the following image:

I keep getting a dialogue box that says "Revit was unable to render the view due to an unknown error during render calculations. The rendering operation will be canceled." The only option is to click "close" and when i do so, it continues to render but only the sky and grass. My buildings are not present.
