BAKE3D - tired of trying.

[ezrhythm]

Ok, is this utility is suitable for production or is just hanging with all releases as alpha preview of some kind of upcoming feature? i tried few tutorials and is just not working as it should be... is there any way of using it for its real purpose apart from "End Tasking" max?

[tom schuelke]

hmm bake 3d think this will be working on final 1.5

I hope youve heard something more concrete then me tom, cause I aint heard squat.

Hi percy

no it wasnt to conret. but yes it seems to come. but i dont know if it will be the old way, or put on top of the render to texture max 6 method that i would prefer very much.

lets see. 1.5 will not be the last nice thing to come.

ezrhythm so you also look for some answers here

[ezrhythm]

basicly i am trying to make sure that BAKE3D is not in production stage...
try it yourself, i cant reach the quality i want... not my fault LUK.

Mental Ray in max 7 works fine

[ezrhythm]

welll yeah, but in my production process i cant do project in VRAY and then convert everything to MR and bake in MR...

Anyway, i finally figured out my way of dealing with BAKING with VRAY.
When i get more or less good results i'll post them here...

VRay now has RTT support in the latest beta I have. Seems to work well!

[ezrhythm]

with all my respect EGZ, right now you doing something that equals teasing a hungry wolf with a fresh cut of meat.

[egz]

At least you'll get the meat eventually

Just wanted to let you know that Bake3D has been removed in 1.5, and that we'll have RTT support instead (much nicer).

egz- excuse my ignorance but what is RTT?

[percydaman]

render to texture
