Max 2017 viewport issues

There are things you can do that you can't do anywhere else. The brick stuff is awesome. When I have a project that uses the same brick in different configurations, Walls&Tiles is the only way to do it.

That's bad enough for me !

Vizpark plugins always sound nice on paper, my experience isn't that smooth with them though.

Can you show some examples ?

And have you stuck with their stock brick library set or is there some place else you've gotten other brick styles from (all projects I've ever done, the stock library with W&T wasn't sufficient).

I have all their libraries and custom brick is easy. I use Acme Brick to create each brick and I use them in Walls&Tiles. The below image uses the same brick, but in several different patterns, using the plug-in.

Thanks Bobby.

I have ACME as well - I'll have a redig with W&T, from memory it was an issue I think with creating so many different map types for each brick (I think) - refl, bump etc, and specifically I remember issues with grout/grout colour. W&T seemed okay on a simple wall, but nothing complicated AFAIR.

But nice to see you are getting good mileage out of it.

They have a good video on their site about creating all the textures you need to create a good brick.

Guys, viewport?

[hoppergrass]

I have issues too, if an object has refraction it vanishes from view port, the geometry is there, just not displayed. The only work round I have found is to set the view port performance to "Standard" and the shading to "Faceted"

[Vizioen]

Full refraction? And with edges disabled? That's quite normal, you can create a Shell material that has a different refraction to show in the viewport.

[hoppergrass]

not just full refraction, any refraction, even on multi-sub materials.
