3ds max RTT ignores Edge-Padding.

Mecha

As title says, Im baking out a diffuse (from vertexpaint) and a basic AO with Scanline/Skylight. All fine and dandy with that, however it completely ignores whatever Edge-Padding I put in. I'm not using Projection.

Anyone else had this problem before? I've baked countless maps before and never come across this.

Thanks in advance,

If you put more than one output (diffuse, normal, AO ect) it will mess up the edge padding. If you only put one in at a time it should calculate the padding correctly.

This post goes into a little more detail and a few other "issues" you'll run into while baking in 3dsmax...

Everything Mark said, also...

Make sure you're grabbing the file that is rendered to disk and not saving the output of the render frame window.

Oh yea, that too! I think Monster nailed it and now you'll run into all of the other problems I talked about =P

Never trust the render preview window it will always display a "full render" minus a lot of the extras that get tossed in like edge padding.
