hi there,

i can't get the clipmaps to work with the MX 1.0. help please. the manual does not indicate what files are acceptable and how this works with setting up materials in Max 8 or Maxwell Studio.

I've created a new material in Maxwell Studio and it still does not work. please advise. please provide additional instructions. thanks in advance. so far it has not been as simple as taking a photo.

regards,
Renante

you need to add a greysacle 'clipmap' to the transmitance slot but it must be inverted. Just use material editor to add it on and when you load it click the box that says invert. You need to use material editor and then save mxm and bring it into max. works fine but you can't create normal material using the material editor in max.

Check the max forum it has some tutorials
