suvakas one question about the materials....if i need to make a difuse material with SSS how can get this?your material system cant do this....or im wrong...?

suvakas · Post by **suvakas** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 9:54 am

what do you mean by diffuse material? SSS is not supported in diffuse material

If you want more "solid" and less transparent material, then maby set ior to 1 in medium material and enable glossy transparency + use larger SSS values.

hhmmm imagine a candle with no transparency and glossynnes...with this way u think u can archieve something similar?

well..i cant experiment now cause it's too late and my Pc is quite slow for SSS, but search the forum. Maby you find some settings that help you out. All the parameters supported (well..most of them) should be presented in my medium/sss material. (or if you think something useful is missing, then let me know)

actually, candles aren't transPARent, but transLUCent

-> use SSS
-> use Glossytransp or Specular with low Exponent ( <100, I'd say)
fused has a nice wax-mat (or at least had)

wow Suvakas! great work! you've pretty much covered what U3dreal had! Just tried 07_01b in Max6 and works very nice!!!

I'm gladly surprised by your work.

Many thanks for the exporter, and also for keeping compatibility with older versions of max

hey suvakas or every one may knows....i pick color for the sss material lets say green...render all ok and fine...but if i pick a color lets say blue...0,0,145......this turn out to purple?(?) here may mat settings...any ideas?maybe some exporter bug....?

Kram1032 · Post by **Kram1032** » Sun Mar 04, 2007 6:42 am

Is it blue also in the exported .xml?
If so, that's not an export-bug!
I've got the same problem with transparent mats:
Three spheres, normaly specular in 0.6
one was green, fine
one was red, fine
one was "blue" -> purple!
Maybe, there is something wrong with indigo...
Or, blue things imediatley get reddish !?
ONO???

WOW....what a chaos......now i understand at least......suvakas may remake the export values to follow this formula...

Code: Select all

If you want your glas to have this color: <rgb>0.4 0 0.8</rgb> 
compute the final numbers like that: <rgb>(1-0.4) (1-0) (1-0.8)</rgb> 
will give: <rgb>0.6 1 0.2</rgb>

its simple to calc but boring......

thnx manito!!!
