Need help from someone using Megascan texture on 3Ds Max

[labotory]

Hello

I have some problems during export from Bridge to 3Ds Max or from Mixer.

When i use texture on 3Ds Max the result is not same as Mixer. Displacement dosent work, same for Gloss, spécular…ect

Someone use these softs ?

Can you post some more info. A material graph would be useful as would a screenshot from mixer and a render from corona to compare

Could this just be your scene lighting?

Could this just be your scene lighting?

I know that I usually have problems lighting up my scene.

I use HDRI + Corona Sun

See my HDRI and Sun parameter

Hi. I think you’re giving yourself unnecessary troubles. Here’s some things that’ll make life easier:

1. Don’t use the exposure control in Max’s environment panel. Use only Coronas exposure (panel or camera).

2. Don’t mix sun and HDRI. It’s not “wrong”, but it does require more knowledge and skills, and is harder to make “physically correct”. Use a HDRI only or a sun + corona sky.

3. Your HDRI seems to be set up wrong in the bitmap loader. I guess that “use real world scale” is activated in your preferences, giving some headache in max - your bitmap is to 1cm X 1cm in “size”, instead of 1 x 1 “tile”. To change this, you need to first select “map” mode, uncheck “real world”, and the set it back to “environment” and “spherical”.

Hope it helps

You have physical exposure control installed in the environment panel and likely have your physical camera set to -6.0Ev in the physical camera properties.

Hi. Sounds like you’re using a bad HDRI, or loaded it with a wrong gamma (use Automatic or manually override with gamma 1).

Try this site: https://hdrihaven.com

It’s a free site with lots of high quality HDRIs. I’ve used some of them, and I only found one or two to be troublesome. I especially like the ones from Amsterdam, Berlin and Italy.

Hope it helps

Ive found the most recent VizPark HDRI set to be atrocious for a commercial product.

Actually Megascan is one of the few content providers that includes extensive information with their products. You just need to open json file in text editor and search for height information. It might be that this info is also available in Bridge or Mixer.
