Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hello, I am new with V2.7.
I am having a materials Channel totally gray.
I have tried several times with diferent files, and cannot get a good materials channel.
The objects channel is ok (all colour)
Is this a known bug?

It works fine here -- what Material ID colors have you assigned in your materials? You will find the Material ID color in the top "Material Properties" node in MXED (see here).

I have several Metalic Materials assigned to the model. (at least 5)
But I get a plain gray channel similar as Alpha but gray instead of white.
Ah, perhaps this is the reason: I am using Maxwell V1.x materials
Could that be the reason?

In the link you suggested I found this:
Material Id
You can specify a desired custom color to be used to identify this material in the Material Id channel. If you don't specify any custom color, Maxwell picks a different random color for each material on your scene.

Anyway I didn´t specified any special colour....

You need to.

Old materials will come in with gray MatID.

Ahhhh!
I see.
Thanks again Bubbaloo

By the way, I was wondering about your avatar:

You know, gestures might have diferent meannings deppending on cultural background.
In Argentina, doing that movement with your finger near your ear, means CRAZY!
I do not know if you are crazy, but i am glad for your help!
