Hey guys I am currently creating a space scene for my portfolio and have made a lot of progress on the planet shader that I am doing. The final thing I would like to do with this material is to make it look like its being bombarded almost like 14 seconds into this video.…
Hey hey... So I use Max 7 at work. If I open the material editor when the program first loads then it'll open fine, no problems. Its if I close it and reopen it later to change some materials around that I get problems. As soon as I open it (re: hit M), max will go to open the editor then just outright crash. Same goes for…
So I've been spending the weekend getting to grips with the material editor and I'm finding it mind boggling how many expressions there are and all the cool things I can do with it. Naturally I have some questions :) For starters, how would I go about making a texture mirror repeat across an axis? eg: Also, How would you…

I'm trying to get my lightmap to render properly within 3DS Max. I have a RGB MULTIPLY with my DIFFUSE and VERTEX COLOR connected to its inputs. I have my LIGHTMAP plugged into the SELF-ILLUMINATION slot under MAPS in the material parameters. I'm getting strange results because of the vertex color, and am unable to render…
Anybody know about a way to assign multiple materials to a mesh via a mask? It would be impossible to assign the materials via faces in maya. Basically the idea here is to have lots of little details on a mesh get assigned a refractive shader while the rest of the mesh is a standard metallic shader. After a bit of…
Hi. I'm making game character in zbrush and for now, every part is a different polypainted subtool with their own material. To make low poly I want to merge parts like body, boots, coat etc. into one mesh. I can project the polypaint but not materials. Is there any way to do this?
Hello, I have created a metal tilling texture in Mixer. In SP I have created anotherbaked metal texture map. Is it possible to refine the metal look so the two texture match better?I'm now getting two different metal textures/pieces in my unreal scene. Hope it makes sence.Or would you need to tweak the Roughness settings…
Hey guys, a friend of mine needs to make a character that has at least decent skin but only using Max's standard material. Since I've basically never had to do any pre-rendered work in my career, I'm not even quite sure there are any tricks he can use. Does anyone know of any tricks or tutorials on how you can fake a good…
