How to copy custom bitmap paths from an older copy of 3ds Max to a newer version

When we download or install a new version of 3ds max, you may want to know how to copy a custom bitmap path (which can contain up to 1024 unique entries) from a lower version of 3ds Max to a newer version instead of manually replacing all of it. Let's copy the 3DS Max 2018 bitmap path to 3ds Max 2019.Ini for example. The specific operation steps are as follows:

Ensure that no copy of 3ds Max is still running.

Make sure you can view Hidden Files/Folders in Windows.

Navigate to the following path in Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 (the version should be the one that you want to copy the bitmap paths from):

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\20xx - 64bit\ENU

Open the 2018 3dsmax.ini file in a text editor such as Wordpad, and search for [BitmapDirs].

Under that entry, you'll see a list of specific folder paths saved for texture bitmaps.

Left-click and drag over all these folder paths to highlight them, then click Control-C to copy them. Close this text file without saving any changes.

Now, navigate to your \ENU folder for 3ds Max 2019, open its 3dsmax.ini file and search for [BitmapDirs].

Highlight the appropriate text entries there. Then click on Control-V to replace these entries with the ones from the 2018 .ini file. (Make sure to delete any unnecessary empty lines afterwards.)

Now, re-save the updated 3dsmax.ini file.

When you open 3ds Max 2019, the user paths from 2018 should be present.

V-Ray for SketchUp rendering elements

图片
Each picture in the V-Ray frame caching window have different rendering channels that are also called elements. These elements can be rendered individually by V-Ray and it can be reassembled in Photoshop. Click the V-Ray resource editor then click on the panel in the parameter panel. You can see the rendering elements. Now, expand the rendering elements and you can see a series of rendering elements. These rendering elements are based on the content of the scene. For example, there is light in the scene. There is also Global lighting, Reflection, Refraction with High light and other elements. These elements are displayed under the rendering elements. Select all the rendering elements that you want to render. Then find the Material ID selected, Material ID can separate the same material, rendering a pure color block, this is especially useful when Photoshop is processed later, because it's easy to choose the same material at this time. Select all the rendering

How Nuke plug-in GeoTracker uses

图片
GeoTracker is Nuke's first plug-in based on model object and trace. It can provide accurate object tracking for Nuke. GeoTracker aims to fill the gap between Nuke functions, and it can also provide fast and reliable object tracking in the synthesis software. The following is the use of the GeoTracker method: 1. Input (import material node CameraTrack reverse information), use CameraTrack to reverse the camera. 2. The import model is a 3D model built by the model itself. 3. Node connection (BG is material can be dynamic, but to remove distortion, cam is reverse camera, obj is the model). 4. GeoTracker analysis (default extension. Precalc). 5. Click analyze, the analysis will be slow. 6. After analysis, you can start tracking (match the size Angle between your model and video by yourself). 7. Pay attention to the model you put in a few frames. The model will be a frame in the first few key frames. Click trace (you can see it in the view area). When problems

what’s the difference with Renderwow and Rebusfarm?

I have actually used both renderfarms and use Sketchup V-ray. I am an interior designer and have been using different renderfarms and I can tell you the differences and what will benefit you more. When I used Rebusfarm it was nice, but I now know that it has some cons when using it. I sent a few renderings from my interior scenes and it was very expensive but since that was the time I started using renderfarms I was impressed with the speed and thought that the cost was normal. Then you have to have everything organized such as your textures, plugins, maps, and all your settings otherwise it won’t render. Then if there are problems with the rendering they will message you which is a good thing, but they won’t continue the render until you fix absolutely everything.    Now, don’t get me wrong but Rebusfarm is good but I would say for smaller projects and if you don’t have a tight deadline. As I have used them for large architectural projects and they were not close to the quote that
