If bitmap channel is not 0, It cannot shown in viewport.

I'm using 3dsMax design 2010.

This is origianl material of old scene. (1.7 version )


This is new material. (2.0 version)


bitmap channel is 9 because that object has several uvw map channel.

I've retried this with simple box object and added several uvw map channel and then applied multi/sub object material.
The result is the same.

It seems that maxwellbitmap shader recognize only channel 1 of uvw mapping modifier.
I thought this bug was already removed before 1.5 version, but now it revived.

It's a bug indeed. We'll see what can be done.

In 2.0 the Bitmap Node was replaced by the Maxwell Bitmap node in order to get rid of all useless parameters standard Bitmap node has and also to be able to implement all the color corrections parameters. This is a new code, it wasn't in 1.5. Maybe it was a similar bug, but definitely not this one :).

OK. thanks for the confirm.

As for me, it's one of the most significant issue.
Hope to see good result.

Yes, it's a critical one and it's half a bug and half a limitation for the viewport display mechanism we're doing. We'll see what can be done.

nice update for new plugin version.

I found that new plugin still doesn't support multiple uvw map channel. And there is no comment about it in history log.

Is this a plugin issue or maxwell issue?

It's a plugin issue and a very delicate one. We don't have a solution yet but still trying to find a workaround.
