How do I use a Maya RemapRamp node in 3ds max

[stevejjd]

Hi guys,
Im following the V-Ray tutorials from Gnomon.https://thegnomonworkshop.com/tutori...ction-to-v-ray

Im following along with 3ds max and there is no "RemapRamp" node.




How can I make these in 3ds max?

Would help me a great deal.

From what I see there should be a Colorcorrection node (Remap HSV) and Gradient node (Ramp) to replicate this setup.

Hi Tashko,

I found the colorcorrect plugin from here http://www.cuneytozdas.com/software/3dsmax/

That colorcorrect should ship with VRay or max. The 3ds max color correct is a pile of shit. Thanks again for your feedback.

Hah yes, this plugin is very useful.

Hi guys,
I would love to be able to follow along with the Gnomon: V-Ray Look Dev tutorials. The instructor, Stephen, uses Maya and V-Ray and I use 3ds max and V-Ray. The 1 thing that bothers me is I cant follow the shading technique he uses. I did recreate the velvet shader using maya and uploaded it so you can see what I would like to do in 3ds Max. Please note the flow of nodes that make the color input. There is a RemapRgbToHsv that go into a V Ramp.

If you don't want to download the google drive link then here are some screen shots.


Is it possible to make an OSL to have this technique available for 3ds max users?

Just from looking at your screen shot it appears that a procedural noise is given a color (one dark red and another light red). There are lots of ways of doing that which do not require a "Remap HSV." including just making two texture maps in Photoshop. Basically all it is doing is brightening and/or darkening stuff. The only part of the shader that is indispensable is the ramp driven by the facing ratio of a samperInfo node to change the color at the incident angle.
