Re: Opacity map not displaying properly in Viewport (Max)
That I know...and I didn't ask...I asked why would you use the Alpha in Max' Bitmap Map Parameters...if you activate it, the map will be transparent, according to the Alpha Channel...so for example, if you use a .png with an Alpha Channel in the Diffuse Slot, you will see the standard Diffuse Color on the transparent… -
Re: Opacity map not displaying properly in Viewport (Max)
That's why I advise setting the Diffuse's Alpha Source to None, so you don't get the Diffuse color bleed.

I plug the texture in the diffuse slot. I plug the texture into the… -
Re: Opacity map not displaying properly in Viewport (Max)
I see what your saying. I remember the border, haven't used that in a while now. IF I remeber right, because its multiplied, cant you turn your diffuse color to black and it removes that border? I remember fixing that issue... might not have been it though. All in all, the only reason to condense maps is for realtime, and…
