am working with a purchased version of 3ds Max 2012, and state sets are not showing up in the rendering menu. Also, there is no state set function in the 3dsmax.ini file to be set to true, which is what this link says to do initialize state set to true
It says it comes with advantage pack version of 3ds Max 2012, so are there versions without it installed?
I've just installed the 3ds max 2012 Subscription Advantage Pack, the State Set is not showing in the Render Menu.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI guess state sets come from maya and in maya we can Copy render layer instead of setting it up all again and again...
How can I copy state set in 3ds max so I can work quicker? Where is copy button?
I am trying to utilize state sets so that I don't have to re render an entire scene to change one thing. Â For instance, in the attached image, I need to keep re rendering the floor patterns. Â So I created a state set where only the floor renders but obviously includes reflections and everything else from the model. Â I am getting these black clouds showing up though that I can't figure out what it is or where they are coming from. Â
Â
I have just been turning off the other objects "Visible to Camera" Â to acheive this. Â what could be causing these clouds coming from the second floor?
clarify if State Sets work or not? Are they a non feature that should never be used?
Â
Every time I use them on any job they corrupt and loose all render settings.

For some reason, when I go to open my latest MAX2014 file... the State Sets dialog shows briefly on the screen while the file is being opened but then disappears just before the file finishes opening.
I don't use State Sets so I'm not sure why this dialog is showing.
Noticed that stats sets didnt wotk with vray properties? from kens Blog:
"Vray rendering is fully supported by State Sets and we are working closely with Chaos Group."
kens blog yesterday:
"so on some quick tests:
- all vray properties were not recognized by state sets
- vray framebuffer output paths also (only if save checked or not)
- settings on render elements also
- changes on materials also (eg diffuse color)"

We've started using State Sets to manage the output of render elements from our scenes and all was looking great UNTIL we noticed a rather nasty bug.
I hope I can describe this clearly. Here goes:
I have created 3 State Sets as follows:
Beauty
Outputting/saving a bitmap to ".eautyFrame_Beauty_.jpg" from the Render Output 'Save File' section.
No Render Elements enabled.
Reflection
No Ouput/file saved from the Render Output 'Save File' section.
Reflection Render Element enabled and outputting a bitmap to ".RefFrame_Ref_.jpg"
AO
Outputting/saving a bitmap to ".AOFrame_AO_.jpg"
AO material in Material Override section enabled.
Exposure Control deactivated.
Now when I switch between these state sets by clicking on the green arrows in the State Sets dialogue the 'output path' from the Beauty or AO state set gets transposed onto the output path in the Reflection Render Element in the Reflection state set.
It seems that Max 'recreates' the Render element each time the green arrow for that state set is clicked and any active Render Element inherits the output path from the previously active state set.
This effectively renders them unworkable for managing Render Elements.
I have an assembly drawing that one of the components in the drawing views is not displaying properly.
What I mean by this is other component that are in front of portions of this said part the said part is not showing line segments as hidden or just removed (preferred).
If you look at the image below I have highlighted the portions that are not displaying properly.
I have tried changing the display section under the edit view. The other weird thing is this said part is showing up in the view as phantom lines when the properties clearly show it as a continuous line per the "By Layer" setting.
I am not sure if the LOD's involved speak to this, but this hasn't always been like this and I am not sure what changed it.Â
Why a layer state assigned to a viewport can only restrict the layers showing? I want my viewport to show the proper layers all the time, even when those layers are not visible in model space.Â

IÂ have a button with the following actions:
Â
click:
sym.play(2000)
 ;mouseover:
var mySymbolObject = sym.getSymbol("Guns_Nav")
;sym.$("Guns_Nav").css({opacity:.3});Â
mouseout:var mySymbolObject = sym.getSymbol("Guns_Nav")
;sym.$("Guns_Nav").css({opacity:1});
Â
I cant figure out how to add 3rd action on my button, to show an active state (basically freeze the buttonts opacity until the next button is clicked)Â while this portion of the stage is being visited.
So I figured out how state set works.
Is possible enable/disable a state set everytime I change a scene state?
What are the rules for how elements (specifically, collections and other collection sets) are ordered within a collection set?
Â
I was trying to get a collection to appear at the top of the list of items in a collection set, but it seems to get stuffed below all the other collection sets regardless of the name given to the collection.

I have an image with a long history palette. I have been working with a burn tool. Accidentally I bumped the keyboard, and up comes the image with a new History State, just the Burn Tool with the History Brush. one line. I have none of the others. So, I dump that one in the garbage can. Slight name change but still the Burn Tool Histoy State. I notice the same statement on a second bar at the top, and the same bar having the minimize etc buttons. So, I click the lower bar, now I have an image with all the history states. I save the History state version and exit that screen. Now when I open the History tab, it opens behind the image! I reopen the saved History State image, same thing. All I can do is save the work, exit PS and start it again. The behavior is normal now, but of course minus the history states.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm working with AutoCAD LT 2013. Just recently my layer State has not allowed me access. When I try to add a layer or edit a layer I can't get access and I get a pop-up note which reads:
"ALL LAYERS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THIS LAYER STATE. NO LAYERS CAN BE ADDED"
When I access layer states manager I can add a new layer-BUT it does not show up in Layers. Acts like the Layer State is Frozen to further modifications.
I am looking for a way to save a viewport state so I can switch between views of different parts of my drawing easily. This includes layer state switching and camera position. I have looked around on Google but cant seem to find anything. I'm after something similar to the scenes feature in Sketchup.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to turn off the Contextual tab state. I tried changing a lot of them in the CUI Ribbon Properties from Full to Merged but now when I select anything the program slows down to a crawl. My reason is that its really not that convenient for ACA to keep switching back and forth just because I select an object. I use a lot of hot key’s but there are many commands on the Home Ribbon tab that I use 99 percent of the time at selection and I find it a royal pain in the ars to keep switching it back to get to the command I need.

View 11 Replies View RelatedOk, I need to make a main layer set and another layer set within that main set so its a kind of sub set. But for some reason photoshop simply refuses to do it, I can make two layer sets fine but it wont let me drag one of the sets inside the other set, it will only drag to above the set or below it, not inside it.
Looking at the picture, if I try to drag set two into set one so its inside set one it will not do it. You cant see it on the screenshot but the cursor turns into a grey circle with a cross through the middle.
Is there supposed to be some kind of setting to allow me to do this or is my photoshop completely screwed up? I am using PS7

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble getting mudbox to recognize multiple uv tiles set up in max. To start with I followed Neil's tutorial here: [URL]
So I basically unwrapped my model and moved my UV islands into different 'quadrants' (uv tiles). Q: is this all that is required to set up the tiles correctly?
If I then export this object as an obj or an fbx into mudbox the uv view only shows 1 tile?
basically i want to texture a large landscape in mudbox and 1 4k map wil not cut it, i need to split it up into 4 x 4k maps to get enough res.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my 3.6 catalogue to LR5 and the photos seem to have imported correctly.
Â
I use LR to publish to Flickr but in LR5 I cannot see my photoset in the publish section. Have I done something wrong or do they just not transfer from 3.6?
Â
I cannot remember whether I used 'Open Catalogue' or 'Import from another catalogue' for upgrading.
Upgrading from LR3 to LR4.
Â
The import from another catalog seems to work with getting all my photos in to LR4, however what doesn't come across in the import are all my Collection Sets and the Collections within. It's not across the board. Some come in, but some don't. I've tried a few different ways of importing and the missing collections are different each time.Â
Â
I use collection sets and smart collections to organize and work through all my jobs. Not having them cross over to LR4 just doesn't work for me. I've optimized, re-exported, re-imported.
