[Max] I need help! / [s]Conversion still has metal defaults. Script of addition to conversion button?

« on: 2023-08-07, 04:06:25 »

Hi,
Just noticed a lot of materials still default to metal and was wondering if its in the pipeline to somehow resolve this? Or is there's going to be a global metal or non-metal option in the conversion script?
Thanks!

[Max] I need help! / Camera clipping show in viewport

Is there a way to globally turn off all "show in viewport" for all cameras in a scene? Or has someone made a script for that? Thanks!

[Max] I need help! / Corona7 reflection

« on: 2021-08-31, 06:53:28 »

Hi,
I'm really exited about the new physical materials for Corona 7!

But I'm having sort of a hard time figuring out how to turn reflections down, probably because the nomenclature changed on the upgrade? I converted a scene from 6 and it looks the metal material changed the kept glossiness and there's no option for roughness but when I start a new 7 material the roughness is available but the glossiness is not.

I'm assuming the converter isn't aware of any roughness settings which keep the "glossiness" term but its confusing.

I'm probably totally wrong and if someone can point me to "everything you want to know about Corona 7 reflections, conversion's and ALL!!" I'd really appreciate it.

Attached is a screenshot showing my materials.

Thanks so much!

[Max] I need help! / shadow amount

« on: 2021-07-21, 23:33:18 »

Why is it when the only thing I change from the default values is the shadow amount and save a png, the shadows look the same? Do I need to changes something else?
thank you

[Max] I need help! / Light visibility in viewport

« on: 2021-07-21, 20:06:20 »

Hi,
Not sure why the light is not showing in viewport. I think it's because I'm creating a light, then turning on target, then moving the light to another layer and forgetting to move the target. This might be a Max bug and not corona. See attachments. Is this a bug? It's probably a button I clicked and don't remember.

I also had similar issues in the past (that may have been fixed) with corona camera targets resetting to zero and was never was sure if it's my workflow, something to do with switching between DOF override and target or a Max bug.


Thank you!

[Max] I need help! / shadow catcher

« on: 2021-07-14, 20:09:54 »

I'm trying to add a shadow catcher floor but only have 1 light cast a shadow. But if I exclude other lights from the floor, the main light shadow in the alpha doesn't look correct. Not sure if this is the correct way to go about setting this up - any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks

[Max] Feature Requests / Save all without alpha element added

I understand why the alpha isnt saved when saving all in the VFB but would it hurt to just save the alpha? whats the cons?

[Max] Bug Reporting / spinning values with default 2.0 image upscale won't refine until mouse release

« on: 2020-10-11, 22:24:21 »

Not sure this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. But I really liked how interactive would update as I spin the environment around. But I can only see the image update interactively while keeping the mouse pressed when the image upscaling factor is at 1.0. I need to release the mouse press on the default 2.0 to see the image update. Thanks

[Max] I need help! / Corona 6 W O W

« on: 2020-09-26, 03:45:17 »

Just had a client who needed work tonight.

Upgraded.

More materials. Better VFB. Simpler UI.

Thank you!

Only question I have (which is not critical) is:
How do I sample select a color using the corona improved picker across multiple monitors? It seems I still need to move the chrome browser to the max screen, resize both apps and then select.

[Max] Feature Requests / Include/Exclude list for camera clipping

« on: 2019-12-20, 22:08:09 »

Not sure if this is possible or if there's a need for this but maybe an option to exclude objects from the clipping plane? Could be beneficial on section renders when furniture, plants or people get clipped.

Is it possible to update the Combined Proxy name text box when the user selects other objects in the Proxy Exporter window?

Thanks
