VRay.info material collection beta - need feedback

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General
41

Small update posted

Changes in 0.6:

  • Added support for affect shadow and affect alpha in the glass material.
  • Made the color pickers non-modal
  • Added the first version of the object light material.
    For best results, adjust the RGB multiplier until the object looks correct in reflections, then increase the GI multiplier if you need more illumination. The defaults here will most likely change later.

Grab the update here: http://vray.info/materialbeta.asp

Remember to remove the previous version first.

Get max script error when trying loading carpaint.

I use max 5.1 and Vray 1.09.03m

It says:n -Runtime error: Not creatable: Falloff

51

Could you add a: turn into standart Vray material function? :wink:

That would help a lot…

i use max 5.0 and the newest vray. i downloaded the materials installed them and tried to render the sample scene, but theres only a white picture with nothing in it when rendering is finished. Sorry for my poor english im from german.

anyone able to help me?

53

Maybe something has changed between 5.0 and 5.1?
Are you sure you are rendering the correct viewport?
Do you get an alpha channel?

54

Torgeir, you’ve been impossible to reach! How were the renders that I sent you?

55

Keith!
Sorry about that :sweat_smile: The renders were great! Thanks.
BTW, I’m still on ICQ every day, so I’m not that hard to reach :slight_smile:

56

i dont know what you mean with alpha :wink: but i think i dont get anything. Do i have to switch something on or off? or should i try to install the max 5.1 update?

57

YES!! 5.1 fixes a lot of issues.

58

Great! Glad to hear it. I’m not usually on chat anymore, so I guess that makes _me_ the hard-to-reach guy…

59

installed 5.1 and still nothing, renders only a white picture

when you open the file, are you getting the units conversion dialog? If so, do you scale, or use file units?
