infinite edge padding - 3dsmax

Ruz

well i am used to creating a huge/infinite bleed around uv's just because it look nice, for presentation purposes but when baking 4k texture for example you can only have  maximum of 64 pixels. any way around this?
you can do it in substance painter but I don't like that airy fairy look it produces

This is "only" a UI limitation.
You can edit 3ds Max\Macroscripts\Macro_BakeTextures.mcr
Look for "padding" and change the range to [0,256,2] or whatever (min,max,default) and save.

That's great Noors, was hoping that there would be a file somewhere that did that. will take a look now

EDIT works great , thanks for that again Noors

I personally dislike the streaking that makes. Not that it matters for real-time, but yeah for portfolio use. I prefer Solidify filter, presents better.

I actually like it when you fill the whole thing with a big value  looks quite  nice to me anyway:)
looks kind of processed in a consistent way
will look at the solidify filter though
