3DsMax RenderToTexture Glossiness map. Nowhere to be found?
Hello! I am rendering various maps to texture, such as diffuse, n-map, and so on. However I cannot seem to grab the reflection map from my high-poly models. Without reflection maps, my models will either be uniformly reflective everywhere, or, will have to be entirely matte... which wont work for my shiny metal objects.… -
Re: 3DsMax RenderToTexture Glossiness map. Nowhere to be found?
Well it is likely #1. I'm not trying to bake reflections, mind you... just the reflection maps, so it confuses me that I am not simply able to pick it up like I would pick up the diffuse map itself. I think that I fully understand what you are saying. Tho my problem is that I not only need to set the gloss amounts, but… -

Do you just want the greyscale values of the gloss-setting as a map? You could set those values as diffuse and bake these out as a diffuse map and use these values as a base for your glossmap. Or do you want to bake out those fancy blurred reflections of your model? This would not work. -

thats why I asked, yes indeed just bake them as diffuse maps and use them for later inputs. cool, tell us how it went, i guess a couple of other folks might stumble upon this. -

If you have them all in a multi-sub material you can just make a new multi-sub material with the maps put into the diffuse. This way you can easily swap it back. I do this all the time when I'm using max and RTT. -
Re: 3DsMax RenderToTexture Glossiness map. Nowhere to be found?
My highpolies are multiple objects which I condense into a single lowpoly object via RTT and then apply diffuse, n-map, and all the other relevant maps to the lowpoly. I use the Arch&Design material from Mental Ray, and in General Maps section I use the Reflection Glossiness map. This map is supposed to be greyscale and… -
Re: 3DsMax RenderToTexture Glossiness map. Nowhere to be found?
Thank you for the tip, that will help even further, yeah all my high-poly maps are in a MultiSubObject. So what I need to do is create a counterpart MSO to the main one, except this one will have just the reflection maps, and they will be in the diffuse slot? That's pretty neat, I wouldnt have thought of this on my own in…
