Palm Tree issue

[nicola_barbano]

Hi,

Not sure if someone already noticed this or not. But I saw that the model of from Cosmos (from a scene in Max) PALM TREE 85-03 probably has some issue with the alpha in the leaves.
Keeping Opacity Maps OFF you can see the leaves and ON (that it should be correct) the leaves are wrong.
Please check the attachments.

Thank you!
Nico

Hi Nicola. I have chaos vantage version 1.8.5
I used the palm tree you said but I have no issues with alpha channel or else . Have a look to my pics. Maybe you need to check some settings ?

Hi,
I have this issue only in one scene...anyway. If use it from a directly it works normally.
Thank you

Do you have a buggy scene you can send us for examination ?

Hi Vladimir,
Thank you.
It's weird because using LiveLink or vrscene from a new scene it works normally.
So I suppose I have this problem only in my specific scene. I've attached a Vantage file if you want have a look.

It's super light file but I could not attached Vantage format here.

Thank you

We need the .max file, or at least the .vrscene file.

Thanks a lot for the scene.
It seems there is an issue when exporting to vrscene/live link.

The Wig and the Palm tree have materials with the same name.
It seems this confuses the exporter when they are used inside a Chaos Scatter.
So the palm tree incorrectly uses an opacity texture from the wig material.

I've reported this to the V-Ray for 3dsMax team and they will take a look.

It's weird that from a new scene it works.

Newer V-Ray for 3dsMax builds make the texture/material names unique when importing Cosmos assets.
The scene that's not working was probably created with an older V-Ray for 3dsMax build.

oh ok...I update VRay always as soon as I see the update. But so, yes probably that is the reason.
Thank you!
