having a problem with my 3dsmax 8

[evh5150vanhalen]

it wont render my textures or show it on the material sphere in the mat editor the only time it will show my texture is in the view port when i have show in view port clicked thats the only place can anybody please help me

[evh5150vanhalen]

the textures only show in the viewport not anywhere else not on the material sphere or on a render itself

what are you rendering in, if you are tring to render a vray materail with the scanline render i think it does something simlar to that, same if you want to render a brazil or metalray texture in scanline

thats about all i can think of

[evh5150vanhalen]

here is what i mean the sphere circled should be showing the material thats on my model but it dosent same as when i hit render it dosent show the material either



material is only for show purposes

have you tried a texture that isnt a DDS file?

[tomsullivan]

i would try to things.

first one are the options in the blue square, as far as i know these are the only options that allow you to turn of materils and maping off when rendering.

second is the green squares in the materil editor, click the ball with an arrow goin to it (the green square) it will bring up the window to the right then click "scene" (green box again) this will show all the materials in teh sence even if they are not on the material editor, just drag across the materal you want to a new materal ball and see if that works.



if the dont work i am thinking max is stuffing up, i cnat think of anyhting else that could do that.
