3ds Max Caustics Tutorial

genial



[lordmetal2]

There is no way I can manage. It just won't create any caustics. I've quadruple checked everything and I can only blame the material i'm using. I dont have physics phenom glas so i use Pro Materials: Solid Glass. Is that what's wrong? Someone please help.

[puttefnask]

@lordmetal2 try rightclicking the light, and check if it has "generate caustics" on

Thank you very mach!!!

I tried with my glass :)

Gracias,. algo sencillo pero mucho muy practico, ahora podre simular una pecera.,

[landoflemon]

@marcinrysicki Thanks, he sent me a message a while ago saying basically the same thing.

[linkspecialproximity]

i have 3ds max 2011 and i cant seem to find the glass material O.o

[mriblaze]

dude nice tut.... 1 of most helpful also tnx pal

[Sphynxinator]

Very helpful tutorial. ^_^

[shteen998]

i get a error saying : ''there are no photon emitters on this scene '' Help

[rmordica]

@shteen998 make sure your light is set to generate caustics too.

i have 3ds max 2012 and i cant find glas physics phen in the materials is there anything else i can use?

[BranislavDJ]

Why do I get Error when I work with Caustics and I save project?

When I load...error. Why? D:

Hey, just have a question similar to the last post. How are your renders so fast. I have a comparable computer to yours, and i7 860, 8 Gigs of Ram and an ATI 5850 graphics card, and it takes me significantly longer to get an image. I just have that box popping around inside the screen rendering little blocks at a time. I don't see that on your video. Are you rendering using your graphics card?

Thanks for the video.

[qasimz1025]

Hi

I just wanna ask that why your rendering is so fast like bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

are you using graphic card or something????????????????

[Clambercty]

Were do you get more things in the "Material map browser" under stranded I dont have near as many as you do im using 2011 and I dont even have arch and design, I dont have near as many as you. How do i get more like you if any one knows PLEASE REPLY

[W4rD0g72]

Thumbs up just for your info about light using inverse square law.  Useful information. :)

[GretschDstickSmoke]

wtf? there is no glass physics phenomenon in 3ds max 2011? anyone else have this problem with their versions, previous versions?

[thebbeenn]

@GretschDstickSmoke

Hey bud, make sure you've assigned Mental Ray as your renderer. I thought the same thing when I first started using my student version of Max11, that they had nerfed it or something.

However, once you're in the Mental Ray renderer, materials will show up, but you may still not find the exact glass material that the tutor is using. I found that using the Autodesk Solid Glass material worked just as well.

Also make sure you turn on Generate Causics on the light itself.

Subtle presentation, awesome tutorial!

[2006Neon2006]

thanks man, this tutorial helped me alot! i was getting crappy caustics till i followed this :)

[JudicatorMX]

Often when trying to work with caustics, I get an error, which tells that no photons are stored after emitting (number) photons from light. What's the problem?

[TypicalRararian757]

Amazing Tutorial!!! Very Realistic.

[realsoccerdude123]

I dont have glass physics phenom in 3d max 2010 :( what do you reccomend?

[adge610220]
