Hi! I Love these kinda scripts.. but I'm having problem installing this. Is it only for 3dsmax 2012? Cant get it to work on 2011. It say's it can't read the macro script on xxxxxx\\macroscript\ (Why is it two backslashes??) Tried to rebuild the script with a direct link to the *.mse file but it didnt work either. :(

hi Thor... great ...your new script :)
it have a new tab SPECIAL.. it controls final gather options instead the option of FG in Render Setup panel????? or we can work with this two final gather active????
And other question... the option AO... applies ambient occlusion to all of the materials in the scene????? When i can use AO cache and when progressive???
Sorry for my bad english...
Thanks a lot!!!!!! master

hi

my english is not better.*smile*

at the next weekend, i will do a tutorial "how work the new features". You can overwrite the FG interpolation mode

"3.4" +"strict 3.4" = Radius interpolation
"automatic"= Rays per FG Point
"multiframe"= Radius interpolation + Rays per FG Point
"Brute Force"= Ray per FG point is zero

work with "multiframe" mode is simple.

use the radius setting at the 3dsmax GUI Rendersettings. Go do Render Optimizer, activate "multfiframe" and set the Ray per FG-Point. Now have you "two" interpolation Modes in "one".

Hi.. i never use the radius interpolation option in FG, only the traditioanl options... fg density,rays per fgpoint and interpolate...
with your multiframe option.... we can obtain better results?
Thanks one more time Thorsten.....
Thorsten Hartmann said on Jun 9th 2011, 08:10
The "Multiframe" Mode is good for animations. This mode give it in XSI+Maya for years, but not in 3dsmax. With Render Optimizer can you use this mode in 3dsmax.

Hi Thorsten,

A friend (who has max 2012) directed me to this script, unfortunately I only have max 9 is there a version or a different script available that would do the same thing but in Max 9?

Thank you for your time

Chris

Hi Thorsten , thanks for the great script you had been shared here.
I just want to ask, when I activate the IBL from render optimizer (no FG, no skylight, only 1 omni and turn off to override max default light), I got the black render when using A&D material. Did I do something wrong here?
thorsten hartmann said on May 25th 2012, 12:55
Hi Ryan,

yes this is correct. Autodesk had forget to set the right Lightmode Value "4", but you can use TH-Generic, this is similar to A&D Material.


cheers

Hi, Thornsten

Thanks for your reply. I tried using TH-Generic and its works like charm :)

Thank you very much
