mix map for bump

[Da_elf]

i would think this would work. why not?

max 2009 vray 1.5 and also max 2012 all 64bit

I can't check right now but I seem to remember this working just fine. Maybe try piping the mix map through a VrayColor2Bump, this has helped in the past for me for other bump oddities.

UPDATE: I checked... doesn't work if there's no maps in the mix color slots. A color2bump makes it work though.

a: i tried putting vray color maps in the slots to test. that didnt work. and i dont see color2bump anywhere

edit

ok didnt work with vray color map but worked when i put other maps in it. weird

Try it in a "Standard" material and see if the bump works in their- not a solution but a troubleshoot at least.

I know that the "rgb multiplier" map doesn't work in the bump slot which affects BOTH Max "Standard" and Vray Materials.

i had tried in standard to see if it was vray material but that didnt work either

mix map in the bump working here with 2 maps in both slots, Max 2009 and 2011?

[Da_elf]

i dont get how you get it to work. here i have tried it with 2009 and you can see its not a vray problem but a max problem since neither vray nor scanline can handle mix maps in the bump slot properly. Where am i going wrong

Sorry - you can get the Color2Bump map here. Looks like it's a 2.0 thing though.
