Padding trouble... (3d max)
greentooth
Hello guys, i try to bake LightMap to simple object. I'm using for
tests mesh with uv and one standart light.
Mental ray as a renderer.
In the 'Render to texture' i set Padding = 10.
But padding crashed into black.
Here pictures...

background is black... and WHAT ??!! Do u rly try to understand what i want?
Sean VanGorder no... i want result like on the pic below..
Try adding only one thing to the output in RTT, right now it looks like you have two things, try doing it with only one thing and see what you get.
For me mental ray screws up the padding anytime I add more than one thing to the output.
AO only, works fine.
Diffuse only, works fine.
AO and diffuse, fubar padding...
(and wrong background color even though its set correctly in RTT)
Scanline lets me stack up all the output I want and gets the padding right, but it doesn't do AO the same way MentalRay does. If you want AO with scanline you have to set up some custom lights, switch your material to white and render a diffuse pass with shadows turned on. Saving a scene state helps with this.
Or just use Scanline for everything except AO and then clear the list, switch to MR and render AO.
Or just use Scanline, forget about rendering AO, take your normal map into photoshop and have the xnormal (or a few other) photoshop plug-ins calculate a rough AO pass for you.
If you choose to dump the list and switch from Scanline to MR, save right before you clear the list, dump it then reload the file that way you're only having to setup the AO pass. It's totally gimped up but it works until they get off their asses and fix it, (going on 2 years now)...
So is there any way to bake soft light map in 3d max ?? Using photometric lights,
diffuse reflections and so on...
