The Substance Maps are not rendering with the NVIDIA Mental Ray renderer in MAX 2013.
The maps display nicely in the view port and render with the Default Scanline renderer and the Quicksilver renderer. It also doesn't render with the NVIDIA iray renderer. The same Substance material setup renders fine with the Mental Ray renderer in MAX 2012. What's UP!!
This video from Autodesk describing the procedural texture generation "Substance" refers to a "Substance Bonus Pack". This doesn't appear to exist anywhere. Is this something that is going to be added to Product Enhancements for subscriptions? Or is this part of the 2012 release that I'm just unable to locate?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am currently rendering 3D models' height maps using a gradient ramp with an UVW map. The models can be trees, characters etc, it's not terrain.
I would really like to know how to use all 16,777,216 colors so that my height maps have that many different values.
So far I only managed to used the gradient ramp and gain a total of 766 different height values. I use 4 colors in the gradient, here is how:
- First gradient ramp color is full black, and placed at position 0
- Second one is at position 33 and is RGB(0, 0, 255)
- Third one is at position 67 and is RGB(0, 255, 255)
- Fourth one is full white at position 100
This totals 766 different height values retrieved using R+G+B (0 to 255+255+255). What should I do to use the full 16 millions colors?
With my current gradient ramp I cannot use the whole RGB value (i.e. a 24 bits integer, 0 - 16,777,215). I have to separate channels into 8 bits integers (0-255), because with 24 bits a higher value is not necessarily representing a higher height. That's due to the way my gradient is made, and I couldn't find better than what I use.
When using "distributed maps" in DBR the slave machines cannot find the maps?
before rendering the max file was collected to

The I: is a server so all computers refer to the same location
Why aren't the slaves finding the maps?

I'm new to AutoCAD, and especially new to AutoCAD Map 3D. I need to make a plat showing a well location. When using Petra or DrillingInfo, a map can be printed to a DXF. DrillingInfo puts out a DXF with just the 0 layer, and the well spots come in as polyline circles. The DXF Petra puts out opens with different layers and symbology, which I like. It's just that the well spots are blocks, which I do not understand. When I open the Petra map with AutoCAD Map 3D, my well spots are unitless block references, and are tiny specks. I need to resize them so they can be seen.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been experimenting with the grass substance in a mental ray render and find I can only get rid of the scintillating flicker at ridiculous sampling (64x16)
I am currently using a z-depth pass and using that to blur the background in composite. Is there a way of treating a substance texture like a bitmap and getting it to blur as it goes further into the distance.
Max 2013 now can't read or write final gather maps. I get an error cannot open map file. I have tried using a unc path \server name. I had the problem previously whan I moved to win 7 and I got around it by turning off my UAC. But that is off.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an issue trying to connect to Live Maps. How to implement this through a proxied enterprise environemnt. I've read the posts to use :
Authenticated Proxies:
To use the above mentioned AutoCAD Online components through proxy servers with Authentication enabled, you should enable http (port 80) and https (port 443) access to the following domains in the proxy without Proxy Authentication (i.e. Access for “All users” or Anonymous access through the proxy):
*.autodesk.com
*.google-analytics.com
*.cloudfront.net
We don’t proxy ports 80 and 443 directly (we use 8989-9093 for proxy ports), so I don’t see any way of meeting these requirements at the present time, at least in the wired Enterprise network.

I have a rendering image in PNG format that I want to have dimension. These dimensions will be in all 3 planes.
I want them allinged to object sort of like what you get when you view dimensons in perspective (first arrow is bigger than second arrow text is getting smaller as it goes further away etc.).
Currently I import my image and draw each arrow, each line, slant the text and it looks so-so... not the greatest and it is A LOT OF WORK. Then i print the dimensions to and image and combine the rendering and image in GIMP.
I'm rendering an equipment shelter that sits atop a gravel pad. I've picked the "Gravel Crushed" material, and it looks OK, but I'd like to be able to scale the material so it isn't so "fine". I'd like it to be more coarse.
How to change the scale of the material?
I think I'm pretty close to understanding how to get realistic interior lighting with nice soft shadows etc. However, I can't figure out how to get the sun & sky background to stop putting all these spots on my walls!
I previously made a version using 1000 "rays" for "Final Gather" and it looks a bit better....but it's still spotty.
How to get genuine soft shadows sans spots from the sun & sky background?
I've played with every parameter I can think of, but nothing smooths out the spots even a little bit.

I have a middle complexity model, with several decals (,jpg, Using Mask), projected to different parts. When I start Studio, and start rendering, Inventor hangs. The render window opens, but it freezes on Translating and soon both of the windows are not answering. I've checked th CPU. Inventor uses around 1G of ram, during regular use. When I start rendering, slowly it goes up around 5,5G, and eventually the Windows freezes. Rendering the same model without a decal works fine.

how to render roofs correctly so I made this simple drawing..When placing the roof material on the... roof, it looks correct on the west slope but upside down on the east slope
I know how to rotate the image and bump for the material, but do I have to do that and create numerous roof materials in my drawing - one for each slope? Or is there a different way to map the material to the 3D object?
why i cannot change the color of the background when rendering? It is always black, and i cannot attached or make new material, if need to attach jpeg or new texture on my drawing, cannot create new material. what should i do? im currently using autocad for mac 2012.

In Cinema 4d I can simply click and reflection and adjust the parameters and i have it, but 3ds max is more complicated and has more things. So i go to "maps", check the box for "reflection", than i have to choose a map. But i want a map that gives me total reflection everywhere, no falloff or things like that.

Here's a screen shot....
I have installed LR4 X64 on a brand new Windows 7 ultimate laptop. I can't see the maps. I have updated to LR4.1 RC still can't see the maps. I have checked the firewall logs and added LR to allowed programs. Still no luck. I have turned the firewall (Windows) off. Still no luck. All other app access the internet OK. Other features in LR can access the internet OK, e.g. ftp to my website. I have searched google and this seems to be a problem for others with the X64 version.
