I just did a quick render with the new plug... attached some different mxm materials but without succes... anyone has an ok result?

I got erroe saying there were no uv, but i have auvw tag. The mxm had a wood floor texture in the diffuse channel. I was wondering how custom mxm with material with textures would be handled by cinmea plug.

I got it

Mini tuto:

1- Make your custom MXM in Studio with textures and all you want (coating, weight map, etc)

2- Go to Cinema (at least work on Win XP I don't know if work on MacOSX) put your Custom MXM tag to a object and load the texture that you previously make.
3- Make New Material and load the texture map in Color tab (obviusly the same texture that you used to make the material in M~R Studio)
4- Assign this Material to the object that have the Custom MXM tag
5- Change the projection eg. Cubic

6- Hit render.


Hope that help you all

What about bumps. Do i need to put the bump map used in my studio mxm into the cinema bump channel. If so does bump translate the way it does in studio where 100 is huge amount of bump. I know in the past in order to see bump map from the cinema bump channel it had to be like 5000 strength. Thanks for help on this.

Rizon: I tried the mxm tag earlier and it worked ok on my PC system.

Yeah i know it works on a pc but the mac version is not working
Thanks anyway.

Did you download the new update? NL specifically addressed the custom mxm material in the latest update of the plugin.

Give it a go and let me know if there is still a problem.

Thanks for your concern... i just tested it and it still doesn't work.. just renders out yellow, all other material tags render well.
