3ds Max 2011: Normal maps won't show up in viewports!
(Utter newbie. Just joined after being told about this site at school. *wave*) Between my home PC and the many comps at school I've used Max 11 on numerous computers. I've found that on some of them normal maps won't show up in the viewports, even if diffuse maps will. They still show up just fine in the renders, but… -

Re: Animating Normal maps to achieve rain drops in 3DS Max or Unity3D
Okay lets forget the metaballs for now, I want to make a flipbook of baked normal maps of waterdrops in 3DS Max. I want to simulate rain in RealFlow and then import the animated mesh into 3DS Max and then bake a normal map for this. I then will make a flipbook of those images.

Re: 3DS Max emissive mapping?
Creating the "texture" would be done in Photoshop be it an emissive texture or alpha in another texture. If you mean the shaded max has one and it's called emissive. You can plug your map there. I have never gotten Max to do emissive maps well so always stuck to ut3. You could put a post process glow effect on it if to… -
Re: Normal map and AO bakins settings in 3ds max 2012
Mental ray isnt a good renderer for rendering Normal maps. XNormal or Max Scanline are far better solutions. Both are a great deal faster and give cleaner less aliased results. Im sure you could get nice results with MR if you tweaked the shit out of it but to be frank there are eaiser ways. A good strategy is to use MR or…
