Control a node parameter with another node parameter in the material editor-3dsmax.

melviso

I wanted to ask if u have two color correction nodes in the material editor in 3dsmax and u wanted to create a connection where u can set up a certain brightness value of Color correction node (CC)A, to correspond with the brightness of (CC)B at a particular value, then set another value of (CC)A to correspond with (CC)B at another brightness value. So that whenever u move the brightness slider of either CC, they move in accordance of the range set. Is this possible with a controller in the material editor?

Thanks.

Yes, look into Wire Parameters. You will need to write a little bit of code, but it is certainly possible. It's also updated in real-time (well, as close as your hardware can manage).

Another thing you can do, without coding, is to instance the controller in the Track View. This will create an exact linkage between them, but might be enough for you. If you want them offset though, that won't work.

Thanks. I had to abandon it as I noticed 3dsmax started stalling heavily and started crashing most times when I tried to link them with the wire parameters.

My scene contains a lot of high poly assets and lots of materials, maybe that's why.
