RPC OVERBRIGHT!

[kola]

I being heavyly rely on rpc for all my 3D scene. But i have no clue when come to vray rendering. if a scene with a few rpc object is render ok, but when the scene getting more rpc crowd then a lot of rpc overbright warning appear and and image are full with all sort of funny color dot!

Anyone use rpc use could help?

render them seperate with matte shadow mat applied to the rest of scene.
I render them in scanline with no lights at all.

u ca try so

I solved doing not visible to GI (VRAY system rendering rollout) and not visible in reflect/refract (max object properties)

hope it helps

I change the RPC´s materials to vraymaterials.....Then I can use visible to GI but i turn off generate GI and turn on recieve GI

to pdvista

to pdvista
do u get grey coloured rpc or with them colours if u use vray material?
or did u apply vraymtlwrapper?

thanks in advance

[pdvista]

pengo...........with their color.

I copy in a material´s slot the map of the RPC
I create a vraymaterial and then in the difusse slot i place the RPC´s map.

thanks for the explanation I didn't try it even is so logical process!!

thanks

Just to add: I have also found rendering them with all your materials Matte works great. If you even want I know a good shadow scrip that makes shadows a breeze with RPC.....But render your RPC via scanline and add them in photshop.....

May you send me the script, MaThew, please

RPC Shadows

A Co-worker & I were tired of not having good shadows within Max. So the Co-worker Chris Grant wrote this script to make things a million times easier. The funny thing about it is, we sent this to RPC for them to offer it to the world for free & they than turned around and tweaked it a little and now they sell it for $50. but here it is for Free. read the readme file first and practice it in a dummy scene...but the results are outstanding.....

here is the script info:

RPC ShadowMan 0.11
Archvision RPC Trees are great for quickly placing bitmapped trees in your scene quickly. However, due to the billboard technology, a tree that is less than perpendicular to the primary light source will appear to have a skewed shadow. This script fixes that problem by automatically rendering a file from the light viewport, projecting the shadows of your trees onto the scene. It's really just an automated, easy way to do what most RPC users have to do already, except without all the repetitive, manual work...

There are two parts to this script, the shadow generator simply renders a 32bit image file and applies it as a projector map to the light... Sometimes however, this approach can be too limiting as it doesn’t allow for shadow changes without a re-render… Thus, the second part of the script sets up self illuminated materials in such a way that when you render from your camera viewport you get a perfect layer that can be laid on top of your existing layer in Photoshop. Now you can blur/sharpen or adjust the opacity in realtime to your heart's content...



I hope this helps anyone with RPC shadow issues.
