3ds Max :: Diffuse Shadow With Photometric Lights In Mental Ray?

Mar 31, 2011

I've enclosed an original picture and my 3d scene. the problems lies in the shadow on both sides of the lamp which is too hard edged. and normally, there is a grid right beneath the cylinder bulb, but when applying that grid in 3ds max the whole scene becomes speckled. must have something to do with the light being blocked by geometry.

how to achieve a soft shadow as shown in the ref pic?

Photoshop :: Diffuse Glow -

Oct 23, 2004

trying to apply a diffuse glow, but the resulting effect comes out all grey/blue. I've tried the effect on multiple different image types (jpg, nef, etc.) and the results are always the same. I know what diffuse glow is supposed to look like.. and this ain't it!

I was editing on a different windows machine and I applied the diffuse glow. It worked fine. 10 minutes later, I tried to apply the filter again to the same image (started over), and again it gave me the ugly gray/blue look.

I'm try to add a Diffuse Glow filter to an image and it's not working as expected. When I increase the Glow Amount slider, the high lights in the image turn BLACK, shouldn't they get brighter?

Photoshop :: Diffuse Glow Not Working Properly

Mar 3, 2008

I am still on PS CS saving up for Creative Suite production Premimium CS3, anyway, When I add a diffused glow to a picture instead of the white glow I get a grey color cast with lots of noise where the glow is supposed to be, this also happens when I try to change a color. When I change say red to blue all the red areas of the picture turn to a grey noisey, ugly color. Any ideas why this is happening. This is happening to all my pictures.

3ds Max :: Should Normal Maps Change Diffuse Color

Dec 2, 2011

I'm modeling in mudbox 2012 and extracting my normal maps for 3ds max and my diffuse and bump as a PNG.In 3ds 2012 the normal map seems to be changing to the overal brightness of the diffuse, changing it noticeably darker.

It's been ruled out that its not a bump map that's causing so its definitely the normal map.

Mudbox :: Projection Painting Turns Diffuse Darker

Oct 19, 2012

Trying to do a normal projection painting and getting darker skins. I tried to turn on and off the gigatel to see if fixes the problem but still gives me darker color. Tried using Ptex to see if this fixes the problem, problem still remains. None of the techniques I tried worked...

When I use the standard mudbox base head, no issues. It paints as it should. When I open my sculpted mesh portrait, same workflow and it gives me much darker image as the video shows.

Photoshop :: Reflections ...

May 9, 2009

I really like the look of graphic reflections I just don't know how to make them look good. I usually make a copy of the graphic to be relected and flip it upside down and position it correctly. At this point I don't know ho to proceed. It seems that the reflection should go from mostly opaque to fully transparent. How do you do that in Photoshop?

3ds Max :: Reflections Are Looking Too Flat?

Apr 22, 2013

I wanted to create some object where i could demonstrate he blur, array and other functions inside 3ds Max and i choose for that a simple box/sphere array. The problem iam facing are the reflections on the box model, they are looking too flat comparing to the sphere. Iam using arch&design materials and a hdr map inside environment (spherical) for reflections and the materials are the same on the box and sphere model, still the reflections are nice on the sphere, flat and ugly on the box

Photoshop :: 3D Reflections Not Working

Aug 25, 2012

I can't make 3d reflections to show in Photoshop. Here are the steps:

Create a 3d scene with white text standing vertically on a black rectangle (two meshes on one 3d layer).In the text mesh properties, set Reflections to 50 (tried 100, too). Set render settings to custom and ensure Reflections are checked.Set render quality to either Raytraced draft or final - both look the same. The renderer is working because I see a blue rectangle running across the screen. But when it stops, there are no reflections.

Photoshop :: Glass Reflections

Sep 12, 2005

I have a picture that was taken on a very cloudy day through the window of a single engine aircraft. There is a considerable amont of glass reflection throughout the photograph which I would like to remove. Most of the reflection is seen in the clouds but there is also a condiderable amount in the water. Since the backround is mostly gray due to the weather the reflection shows up as a light grey to white against the grey. Could you tell me the best way to remove it? Is there a plug-in that will accomplish this quickly or must it be done through some other means?

Mac OSX 10.3.9
Powerbook G4/400

3ds Max :: Odd Light Reflections After UVW Unwrapping?

Apr 9, 2013

I am working on a cockpit interior for a spaceship and I am getting an odd render glitch both in my work viewport and in the renderer.

This mesh was created in Rhino 4 and imported via .obj. When it was initially imported it displayed perfectly but after, UVW unwrapping each quad is rendered as if it was made up of two triangles, and each triangle appears rounded.

Even stranger, if I turn on edged faces in my viewport it displays correctly again.

I am completely new to 3ds max for anything other than lighting so I'm sure that there is a simple (or complicated) explanation.
