I’m okay with the shadows being a different render. When I render, I want the end result to be the sphere on a transparent background with the shadow(s) so that I may composite this onto my original image in After Effects or Photoshop. Just for record, I’m using a spherical environment map (a 360 panorama) for reflections, but showing the image I’m compositing this sphere onto in the end for the viewport background (so that I can align my camera). The matte/shadow/reflections material that mr has also does not seem to work properly. However, I’m using mental ray, and it does not support this material. This is easily achieved in Scanline by applying the matte/shadow material to the plane. However, I want to make the ground plane invisible, but I want the shadows to still be visible.
I have a sphere in my scene which is casting shadows onto a plane, acting as the ground. To be notified as soon as Mental Ray is available for you to use within Max 2018.I’ve seen this question posted many times ino ther places, but there never seems to be a confirmation that the solutions work fully or anything. NVIDIA's FAQ about Mental Ray for 3ds Max is located here. As such, we know how important that is to many Max artist's workflows, and we don't want to curtail that. Unlike Maya, which just added the ability to render a sequence with the GUI up in Maya 2017 (?!), Max has been able to do this for over 20 years now. With Max 2018 now in hand, we're now able to do final release testing, which usually takes a couple of weeks.Īs mentioned, our product model will be similar to what we did with Mental Ray for Maya (where you only need a license for some form of network rendering) except that there will not be any restriction on single frame rendering within an active Max session.
Yes, Mental Ray is on its way to Max 2018, and should arrive for everyone in the next few weeks.
