3ds max's render to texture doesn't want to do padding

Millenia

For some reason, whenever I use render to texture in 3ds max 2009, the padding doesn't work at all, leaving ugly white streaks near seams

Here for example I set the padding to 10 pixels yet it still doesn't cover it like I want it to:

Strange, is this just on lightmaps, or when you render normals as well?

Also, make sure you're opening the file max saves, not saving what it gives you in the render preview window, as max doesnt add padding to that.

I haven't tried rendering normals with 2009 yet, everything was fine in 9

yeah i've done some NM and AO renders from max 2009 without problem, can you post your render settings etc?

Alright, tested that out and it all works perfectly here. Again make sure that you're opening the file that RTT saves, in the File Name and Type box, instead of saving out the image in the render preview.

Other than that i cant be of any help, because i'm not getting the error here, sorry dude.

What worked like a charm? Checking the actual map?
