3DSMax Viewport Artifact

Utility

Hai Polycounters,

I've run into a problem with a texture in Max. I'm on the tail end of teaching myself how to use it (originally a Maya user - the experience has been very painful but needed), based on a tutorial. I'm testing out my texture on the model before I really delve into it, but I've noticed that I'm getting these really crappy artifacts. I can't seem to find out why; the texture looks fine in Photoshop. After fixing another issue that I thought would remedy it (viewport settings displaying 512 max resolution and changing it to 'Realistic with Maps'), I'm still struggling. Anyone have any ideas?



Left = viewport with artifacts (the random stuff was to test for the resolution issue). Right = Photoshop with no noticeable artifacts. The only reason I have left for this issue is that it's something to do with my AO... but when I have it on and turn my flat colour off (there's a few detail layers on), it mostly looks fine. Halp pls

Click realistic on the top left of your viewport and change it to shaded.

Nope, it didn't do anything

What version of 3DS Max are you using? Check if you have the latest service pack installed.

If you're using 2012 then try this nitrous texture tweaked: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/nitrous-texture-tweaker

Thanks guys! I fixed it - I wasn't sure if I wanted to disable gamma and LUT, but my friend suggested I try the Xoliul shader and it worked (and required me to turn gamma off anyway). Check it out:



No more tears!!
