Bercon maps for 3ds max 2020

Hi There,

I know it’s nothing officially to do with Chaos Group, but is there any chance one of your friendly/talented/awesome coders could do the annual recompile of Bercon maps please?
Although it looks like the new OSL shaders can finally replace Bercon, we’ve still got 10 years worth of old jobs we’d like to be able to carry on working with :slight_smile:

Big thanks in advance if you can do this for the community

Hello,

I’ve put a pull request in the official BerconMaps repository but it is still waiting for approval (Max2020 by yavor-rubenov · Pull Request #18 · Bercon/BerconMaps · GitHub)

The plugin itself can also be found here:
https://github.com/yavor-rubenov/BerconMaps/raw/max2020/src/DLL/BerconMaps\_2020\_64.dlt

I’ve only recompiled it and started Max to see if it loads correctly - haven’t done any testing if all is ok with it.

Best regards,
Yavor

It’s now also uploaded to our Tools docs page: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VRAY4TOOLS/Misc+Tools#MiscTools-BerconMaps3.03

Awesome, thanks a lot!
Is that Tools Doc page something I can safely ignore? The link gave me a login page, but didn’t recognise my Chaos account details.

That’s because I posted the staging version of the page :slight_smile: Here’s the correct one + I’ve edited my previous post to show the correct one as well: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VRAY4TOOLS/Misc+Tools#MiscTools-BerconMaps3.03

looks like there is the same error there was in max 2018, max crash on save every time a there is a new bercon noise added to a material applied on a scene object.
and same behavior, if you clone the texture by shift dragging it instead of creating a new one, the file save without crashing.

Anybody knows if MultiTexture has been updated for 2020?

It’s being worked on and is nearly ready; if you email them and ask nicely, they should be able to get you a working version

It’s updated I just found it on in the official download.

Could we have Bercom maps for 3dsmax 2022?
I seriously believe Bercom maps have to become part of Vray ecosystem.

I download BerconMaps 2022 (dlt) from Github, but 3dsmax2022 state an errors at startup …

Are you sure you used the right link - https://github.com/Bercon/BerconMaps/raw/master/src/DLL/BerconMaps\_2022\_64.dlt ?

obviously not, with your link everything works fine , many thanks !
