Answered: On 3DS Max 2017

Good afthernoon,

During my leaning curve I have come to the part were I need to create a color ID set for characters in 3Ds Max 2017 

 

Folowing the video tutorial on YouTube I go to Utilities -- MAXScript -- Run Script, followed by selecting the MaxRun.ms script to run.

Max then returns an error titled "MAXScript Fileln Exeption" with the content of: 

Runtime error: Traceback (most recently call last):

ImportError: No module named lib

Please tell me how to fix this issue since creating the color ID manually will eat up the time Quixel is saving us.

Hi!

The Colors tool is currently being worked on by its developer to address compatibility issues with the newest versions of Autodesk toolsets. I have no ETA or any timeframe for a release date, but it is currently being fixed! In the meantime, however, there are many free alternatives. My best advice would be to try using a tool like xNormal (available from www.xnormal.net) to bake ID maps, or hand-paint IDs using Photoshop. You can also use your modeling package to create IDs from your UV shells, too!

My apologies for the bad news - please let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.
